Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (93): Restrained aromas of cherry, loam and damp wild herb align on the nose of this bottling from an iconic vineyard in the mountainous heart of the appellation. A leathery tension and brisk acidity weave through the cranberry, sour cherry and subtle dried-beef flavors of the palate.
