Wine Spectator90 pts

A brooding bruiser. What this lacks in finesse it makes up for with sheer power, offering deep and dark blackberry, sandalwood and licorice flavors that build toward broad-shouldered tannins. Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Mourvèdre, Carignane and Grenache. Best after 2021. 435 cases made.
