95pts Wine Enthusiast
With a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a seriously structured wine. It is ripe with a shot of fine acidity and tannins that give the wine great shape and freshness. The structure is what will give this wine its longevity. Barrel Sample: 93-95
92pts James Suckling
Dark tea leaves, bark, walnut shell and dark berries on the nose. Full body, firm and chewy tannins and a slightly austere finish. The tannic impact will lessen in two or three years. Try in 2021.
90pts Wine Spectator
Solid, with a tarry frame that melds into a core of plum and raspberry preserve flavors. Lively bay leaf and tobacco notes fill in on the finish, revealing a sanguine echo. Best from 2020 through 2027.
Winemaker Notes
Very deep garnat red color. Delicate nose of light wood, toasted bread and berry jam. On the palate, the aromas are reproduced with a perfect balance and freshness. Lovely long finish.
