• Score: 93 Vintage 2021 Wine Enthusiast A smooth, supple texture, gentle acidity and silky tannins invite you to take sip after sip of Athena. It is packed with aromas and flavors of dark chocolate-covered Bing cherries, loamy soil and orange zest. Be sure to have friends on hand because it will be difficult to resist opening a second bottle of Athena. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 92 Vintage 2017 Vinous Glistening ruby. Ripe, spice-tinged red and dark berries, candied flowers, mocha and smoky minerals on the perfumed nose. Chewy and focused on the palate, offering concentrated black raspberry, bitter cherry, vanilla and lavender pastille flavors that turn sweeter as the wine opens up. Shows fine definition and a repeating cherry note on the persistent finish, which is firmed by gently gripping tannins. 30% whole clusters; 35% new French oak. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
