RATINGS

99The Wine Advocate

...provocative red berry lift—redcurrants, Morello cherries and pomegranate—over a core of mulberries, wild blueberries, lavender, fennel seed and clove oil, plus a waft of tobacco leaf. The full-bodied palate is built like a brick house, featuring very firm, beautifully ripe tannins and a racy backbone to support the ultra-concentrated red, black and blue fruit layers, finishing with great length and tons of savory sparks. Stunning.

99Vinous / IWC

...absolutely stunning wine. Inky and deep, with huge tannins...packed with inky dark fruit, chocolate, licorice and spice.

98Jeb Dunnuck

...another masterpiece. Full-bodied aromas and flavors of blueberries, wild strawberries, ground pepper, leather, violets, and even some gamey nuances define this incredible wine, and it has building tannins, a ripe, layered texture, and remarkable purity.

REGION

United States, California, Central Coast

Central Coast AVA is a huge wine producing area that extends from Santa Barbara County in the south to San Francisco in the north. With more than 100,000 vineyard acres, it includes parts of six counties near the Pacific Ocean. Nearly 20 smaller AVAs lie within the Central Coast AVA. Central Coast earned appellation status in 1985. Included in the appellation are parts of the counties of Contra Costa, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz. Nearly every grape varietal grown in California is grown somewhere in the Central Coast AVA, though Chardonnay accounts for nearly 50% of the entire wine grape crop.
