Wine Spectator93 pts

A lively red, with a mix of singed sandalwood, iris, potpourri and black tea notes infusing a core of succulent cherry and mulberry fruit. Everything knits together wonderfully through the focused finish. Drink now through 2029. 295 cases made.

Wine Enthusiast93 pts

A good, deep core of black cherries drives this full-bodied and moderately tannic wine before it throws off cloves, wet stones, cedar and mushroom nuances with continued sips. It's well structured for pairing with roast birds or sauteed mushrooms.

Hold

Windy weather during blooming led to a small crop set, then warm dry conditions ripened everything evenly. Small berries and thick skins produced wines of concentration, structure, freshness and purity
