JANCIS ROBINSON 17+ POINTS - "Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Minerally nose that is slow to open to fruit. Elegant, fragrant and cool and a little backward on the palate with finely ground chewy tannins. Long and unostentatious. Like a sinewy thoroughbred horse." - Walter Speller
WINE SPECTATOR 95 POINTS - "Beautifully balanced and featuring delicate flavors of rose, cherry and strawberry, this red is nevertheless solidly built and dense. Iron, tar and wild herb accents add complexity as this ends in a tight grip of dusty tannins. The fruit hangs in there, so be patient. Best from 2029 through 2050. 3,000 cases made."
