97pts James Suckling

This has a fragrant array of cedar, bay leaves, cloves, dried flowers, walnuts and blackberries on the nose. It’s full-bodied but elegant and lively on the palate, with firm yet fine-grained tannins. Sleek, linear and poised. Very classy and fresh at the end. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot. Try from 2028.

A proprietary (and undisclosed) blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot from Figgins Estate Vineyard, the 2022 Estate Red Wine opens in an herbal, earthy intensity of sage, cedar, and crushed stone. The full-bodied density opens slowly on the palate to show floral aromatics and rich red fruit, structured to age another 12-15 years.

92pts Wine Spectator

Densely structured and a bit taut at the moment, this red offers robust flavors of black cherry and blueberry laced with tobacco and mineral tones. Gathers tension and tannins on the finish. Needs time. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2035.

Winemaker Notes

Impressively dark in the glass. The nose absolutely bursts with wild red fruits, floral notes, and spiced, grilled meats. On the palate, the texture is rich and velvety, building in complexity with layers of red and black fruit, warm baking spices, and savory depth. The finish is plush, powerful, and incredibly long. From the Miracle Vintage of 2022, this may be one of the most captivating expressions of the Estate Red to date.
