CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Spectator - "This red rides a fine balance between elegance and austerity, with cherry, strawberry, rose and hay aromas and flavors fused to a spine of stiff tannins; nevertheless, this is long and engaging. Best from 2026 through 2042. 7,400 cases made, 5,100 cases imported."


Wine Enthusiast - "Brooding aromas of black cherry, pepper and coriander all swirl in the glass alongside subtle notes of dried rose and crushed stone. The palate is brighter with tart red fruits on the core with notes of black tea, anise and superfine tannins on the lifted finish."


James Suckling - "Aromas of fresh flowers, cedar and sandalwood as well as sliced plums. Medium body, fine tannins and a clean and crisp finish."
