RATINGS

94Wine Spectator

Ripe, rich, creamy, buttery, showy and just terrific, this cascades along the palate with all the subtlety of lava flowing down the flank of Mt. Vesuvius, popping with toasted oak, nuts, lemon and ultraripe fruit...

91-93The Wine Advocate

...fat, dense, and rich, yet not very intense or full-flavored. It is a complex, concentrated, pristine wine with extraordinary balance. Sweet oak spices, stones, and a salty sea breeze can be found in this superb offering's flavor...
