RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

Inky blueberries, graphite, spices, licorice, mint and lavender are laced together...Finely knit and powerful, the Townsend offers plenty of mountain acidity and tannin that gives the wine its sense of direction and focus...

91Wine Enthusiast

...dark, black and brooding wine, full bodied and firmly impacted in tannin. Mountain sage, currant and mocha highlight dense ripe fruit and dustiness that linger with a spiciness of clove on the finish.
