Ratings & Reviews
94 Points – James Suckling: “Pure and delicate, with grilled grapefruit, berries, fine spices and a hint of white pepper and vanilla on the nose. Fluid and refined, with a medium body and soft, polished tannins. Transparent and lengthy. Already pleasing, but it will deliver more complexity in the next three to four years.” – James Suckling (Jan 2025)
93 Points – Wine Spectator: “A hefty dose of new oak wraps this red's strawberry and cherry fruit in toast and sweet spice flavors. Incense and mineral elements add depth as this persists on the lengthy finish. Tight and youthful, with fine potential. Best from 2027 through 2042. 125 cases imported.” – Bruce Sanderson (Jul 2025)
