Lurid magenta. Expansive aromas of mineral-tinged red berries, incense and cola, joined by a suave floral nuance as the wine opens up. Appealingly sweet and seamless on the palate, offering juicy raspberry, cherry, spicecake and candied licorice flavors that are braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Finishes smooth and long, with gentle tannins and lingering floral pastille and star anise notes. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, December 2019)

Classic for the appellation, killer for the price and vintage. Young and firm but should be beautiful with time. The 2015's are so good in their solid fruit and acid/tannin balance.

Better than expected. Medium bodied with smoky red fruits. Great with ribeye.

Briary with florist shop aromas. Grippy with loads of dried cranberry and charcoal. Expecting great things.
