JEB DUNNUCK 96 POINTS - "A blend of 46% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre, 18% Tempranillo, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Grenache, and 4% Zinfandel, the 2022 Estate Blend reveals mulled red and black fruits, spice box, Provençal herbs, and pepper, with hints of leather. It's medium to full-bodied, rich, and powerful, with a layered mouthfeel that picks up plenty of tannins on the finish. Aged 18 months in French oak barrels and puncheons (35% new), it reminds me of a great Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Drink 2025-2035."
ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 94 POINTS - "The 2022 Estate Blend is youthfully coy, slowly evolving with a darkly floral bouquet of dusty violet and lavender that develops into peppery wild berries and nuances of rosemary. Silken in feel, the palate is seamlessly layered with mineral-infused red and black fruits that add form toward the close. Inner florals build through the finish over a gentle tug of sweet tannins, as this wine closes with exceptional length and is beautifully balanced."
