A rich, stylish red, with lavish notes of oak spice, vanilla and medicinal herbs and spices accenting glossy black cherry, blueberry and blackberry paste fruit flavors. Though there's a flamboyant edge, this is focused and well-structured, with integrated, fine-grained tannins and lively tangerine peel acidity. The long, expressive finish echoes the generous profile. Best from 2026 through 2036. 10,000 cases made, 700 cases imported.
94 points, Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator (Jul 2024)
