WINE SPECTATOR 91 POINTS - "A fresh, expressive red, with a core of cassis, grilled garrigue and bacon fat overlaid with pretty violet notes. Supple and open on the palate, with mesquite, sweet clove spices and graphite lining the medium-bodied, integrated finish. Offers good energy and appeal. Drink now through 2030. 7,500 cases made, 1,500 cases imported."
