95pts James Suckling

Aromas of flowers, stems and ripe and dried strawberries. Lavender, too. Medium to full body. Firm and tight structure with black fruit and a flavorful finish. So long and seamless. Needs time to open and give you what it has. Old-vine wine from almost 50-year-old heirloom clones.

93pts Wine Enthusiast

This reserve pulls from the estate's Aurora, Abetina, Avellana and Madrona vineyards. Tart cranberry, pomegranate and raspberry fruits combine here. It's young and juicy and spicy with blood-orange acidity. Definitely built to age, this may be enjoyed now and over the next decade.

92pts Wine Spectator
A broad-shouldered style but refined and polished, with deep blueberry and raspberry flavors laced with stony minerals, black tea and dusky spice. Builds tension toward medium-grained tannins.

Winemaker Notes
This perfumed nose holds spice notes of clove, anise and cinnamon underlaid by lilac, lavender and cherry wood aromatics. The mouth is focused and structured with long tannins laced with chocolate nibs, sweet Bing cherries and rich notes of dried fig and black tea.
