Score: 93Vintage 2020Wine EnthusiastA walk through autumn mountains captured in glass, bark-strewn paths and wild mushrooms set the stage for blackberries and plums, while dried flowers hang in the cool air. The palate shows a quiet confidence: black cherries ride refined tannins, balanced perfectly with savory herbs and damp earth. This isn't a wine that shouts; it smolders with a contained power that suggests there's more to discover with each sip. Drink Now - 2045Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 87Vintage 2015Wine EnthusiastAromas of crushed mint and red berry form the nose along with a whiff of rose petal. On the assertive, linear palate, firm grainy tannins accompany dried cherry and white pepper before leaving a lean mouth-drying close.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 87Vintage 2010Wine EnthusiastSubtle aromas suggesting tilled earth, leather and underbrush form the nose along with a whiff of eucalyptus. On the somewhat lean palate, you'll find truffle, prune and dried sage alongside brisk acidity and dusty, drying tannins that leave a rather drying finish. Drink sooner rather than later.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 94Vintage 2009Wine EnthusiastAromas of leather, dark spice and a whiff of barnyard follow over to the lean palate along with game and a hint of prune. It's rustic and evolved, with dusty drying tannins. KERIN O’KEEFEShelf TalkerFull Page Review
