Critics Ratings

'Showing a bit more maturity than some peers, this pushes singed cedar and smoldering alder flavors to the fore, along with well-mulled currant and fig fruit notes backed by a prominent tobacco edge on the finish. There's a pretty sweetness of fruit here, even though this is fully into a secondary phase.' - James Molesworth Winespectator.com 91/100 (2016)

'One can’t say enough about this winery, which may still fly under the radar of most consumers. The fully mature 2000 displays gorgeous aromas of camphor, lead pencil shavings, unsmoked tobacco, plums, and black currants. With full body, a velvety texture, and beautiful weight, richness, and length, this superb wine should evolve, possibly improve for another 15 years. It’s a beauty!' - Robert Parker Robertparker.com 95/100 (2010)
