RATINGS

99Jeb Dunnuck

...bouquet of bacon fat, crushed flowers, pepper, and peach pit that’s ground by a sensational core of pure Syrah fruit. Full-bodied, unctuous, and undeniably sexy, with a pure, seamless texture and no hard edges...

95James Suckling

This is so classy and refined with incredible balance and finesse, as well as richness and opulence. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a seamless-textured finish.

93+ Vinous / IWC

...is a powerful wine with huge tannins. Even so, the pedigree of this fruit is evident in the wine's depth and textural richness. Inky, unctuous and explosive, the 2015 is seriously packed.

92Wine Spectator

Potent and brooding, with an expressive core of black raspberry, wild game and smoky cracked pepper flavors that power toward broad-shouldered tannins.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Carneros

Carneros AVA, also known as Los Carneros, is at the southern end of the Napa and Sonoma Valleys at the top of the San Francisco Bay. The 8,000 vineyard acres are mostly planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, both of which thrive in the district’s cool, marine climate. Carneros became an AVA in 1983 and it has attracted foreign wine companies along with local producers. It has been especially appealing to European producers of sparkling wines including the giant Spanish cava producers Codorniu and Frexinet, and the French Champagne house Taittinger. Codorniu in Carneros is called Artesa, and Frexinet’s Carneros brand is Gloria Ferrer. Taittinger calls its Carneros winery Domaine Carneros. The European producers also make still wines in Carneros.

TYPE

Red Wine, Syrah (Shiraz)

This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
