Critics Ratings

'Bright violet color. Explosive aromas of black and blue fruits, smoky Indian spices and minerals, with a suave floral quality in the background. Fleshy and expansive on the palate, but with excellent clarity and spicy lift to its blackberry and licorice flavors. The dark fruit element recurs on the long, seamless finish, which is framed by supple tannins that fold smoothly into the wine's lush fruit.' - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 93/100 (Feb 2015)

'Alluring, with a velvety feel to the raspberry pâte de fruits and blackberry compote flavors. Black tea and singed juniper notes stream through the finish, which is sneakily long and perfumed. Should stretch out more with some cellaring. 500 cases made.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Nov 2015)
