RATINGS

96James Suckling

...ripe black and blue fruit character with notes of dried tomato leaf, tobacco and chocolate. Full-bodied. An array of plush and developed tannins frame its succulent fruit compound...long and bright finish with a touch of fresh mint.

95Vinous / IWC

...opulent expression of fruit with the more savory, earthy notes typical of Atlas Peak. Scorched earth, tobacco, chocolate, cloves and leather all build in the glass. The mountain tannins are potent, but there is terrific fruit depth to balance things out. Superb.

95Wine Enthusiast

Rich and luxurious in blackberry and dark cherry, this mountain-grown wine offers a grip of powerful tension, structure and oak. Generous in style, with concentrated color and flavor, it offers additional notes of cigar, dried herb and thyme, polished on the finish in a hit of black pepper.

93+ The Wine Advocate

...notes of warm cassis, baked plums and juicy black cherries with hints of charcoal, damp soil and black olives. Full-bodied and fantastically concentrated, it has firm, grainy tannins and bags of freshness supporting the muscular black fruits, finishing long and earthy.

93+ Jeb Dunnuck

It has some firm mountain tannins as well as full-bodied aromas and flavors of blackberries, cassis, plums, smoked tobacco, and loamy earth.
