RATINGS

96Vinous / IWC

...superb. Rich and explosive on the palate...exudes energy and vibrancy from start to finish. Super-ripe dark fruit, chocolate, spice, leather, menthol and licorice all run through this striking, voluptuous red... Red cherry jam, chocolate, espresso, mint and spice notes build with time in the glass.

95James Suckling

A beautiful, layered red with plenty of dark-berry, chocolate and hazelnut character. Full-bodied and round. Juicy finish.

92The Wine Advocate

...notions of warm cassis, blackberry preserves, baked black cherries and tar plus suggestions of unsmoked cigars, forest floor and dusty soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has good weight and loads of earthy and black fruit layers, framed by chewy tannins, finishing on a lingering savory note.

92Jeb Dunnuck

...a plump, sexy 2017 with lots of chocolaty black cherry, dried herbs, vanilla, and smoked earth aromatics, medium to full body, ripe tannins, and a great finish.
