Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (90): Layers of blackberry, black plum and mahogany show on the nose of this single-vineyard expression. The palate combines dark berry, herb and rich earth flavors into a subtle display.

Wine Enthusiast (93): From a dramatically sloped vineyard on the southwestern edge of the appellation, this age-worthy bottling begins with muddled cherry, boysenberry and smoky earth aromas on the nose. The palate is packed with baked red fruit, light baking spice and loam, all wrapped in a leathery tension. Drink now–2041.
