• Score: 94 Vintage 2018 Wine Advocate Showing three tiny roses on the front label copied from the family crest, Castello del Terriccio's namesake 2018 Castello del Terriccio is Syrah and Petit Verdot (with some complementary grapes) that was first produced in 2000. Eighteen year later, this vintage feels very complete and has copious dark fruit, spice and bitter chocolate. The robust flavor profile is upheld by integrated tannins and lively freshness. To close, there are highlights of Mediterranean herbs that recall rosemary and lavender, perfumed but not too green. The winery team is satisfied with this vintage because the growing season was cooler (compared to 2017) with more rain and a warm summer. The vineyards are not irrigated and rainwater penetrated deep underground to the roots. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 93 Vintage 2018 James Suckling A fine and caressing red with berry and chocolate character. Medium body. Light tannins and a clean and delicious finish. Very delicious is all I can say. Hints of spice and sage to the fruit at the end. A syrah and petit verdot-based blend. Drink or hold. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
