JEB DUNNUCK 95 POINTS - "The 2022 Sand & Stone is mostly Grenache yet includes 28% Petite Sirah, 27% Syrah, and 5% Graciano. Its deep purple hue is followed by a rocking nose of black raspberries, red plums, ground pepper, and herbes de Provence, with a kiss of incense. It's beautifully textured and full-bodied, with a round, lush mouthfeel and a great finish. Drink this terrific Paso red blend over the coming decade."
ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 93 POINTS - "Darkly alluring, the 2022 Sand & Stone entices with notes of fig and plum sauce, grilled herbs and hints of sour citrus. This sweeps across the palate with textures of pure silk, demonstrating incredible balance. Ripe red berries slowly saturate, complicated by minerals and dark chocolate nuances. It finishes dramatically long and youthfully tense with a lingering dusting of baking spice and blood orange. Gorgeous."
ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 92 POINTS - "The 2022 Sand & Stone is a blend of 40% Grenache, 28% Petite Sirah, 27% Syrah and 5% Graciano. The nose is driven by opaque fruits and dark spices with dusty, meaty overtones. The palate is rich and full-bodied but retains a well-tempered balance despite its sizable frame, leading to a finish of taut, chocolatey tannins and juicy fruit flavors that glue the wine together nicely."
