- Score: 92 Vintage 2018 Wine Spectator An earthy base note works with the cherry and currant fruit in this elegant red, with eucalyptus and tar accents emerging on the firm finish. Balanced and long. Drink now through 2030. 1,600 cases made, 400 cases imported. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 88 Vintage 2017 Wine Spectator This red sports a saline edge, along with cherry, strawberry, tobacco and spice notes. Light, with a wisp of tannins lining the finish. Nebbiolo, Vespolina and Uva Rara. Drink now. 1,600 cases made, 400 cases imported. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 87 Vintage 2017 Wine Enthusiast Woodland-berry, violet and botanical-herb aromas lift out of the glass. On the medium-bodied palate, fresh acidity accompanies unripe cherry, orange zest and clove while close-grained tannins leave an abrupt, drying close. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 87 Vintage 2016 Wine Enthusiast Aromas of leather, camphor and underbrush follow over to the palate together with notes of salted game and dried cherry. Firm acidity and tight close-grained tannins leave an austere, rather astringent finish. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
