Mocha-tinged blackberries, earth tones, savory herbs and exotic spice form a dark and inward bouquet as the 2016 Red Wine evolves in the glass. Packed full of crisp red and black fruits, there’s a lift and vibrancy here that's impossible to ignore, all guided by mineral-tinged acidity. Hauntingly dark florals and nuances of chalk dust linger. The 2016 finishes with crystalline tannins that add a crunchy sensation throughout. This is the first year that the Red Wine was made from all estate fruit. It's a beautiful vintage of this cuvée in the making. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2024)

Clean and pure is how i would describe this beauty. Blackberry, spice, soft tannins, nice acid backbone. It's the consistency across the palate and the purity that has me smitten. Great stuff.

Wow! What a wine. This could sail for years and years of aging.

Lots of alcohol in the nose. Great wine and love how they don't produce this every year and give it extra aging time. Good story and great way to sell bottles.

Good. Dense. Giving a bit of fruit. Still fairly tight. Think it needs some air. Overall - really smooth and good tannins.

Old world style, dark cherry, for being almost 15%, it is not hot at all. Nice tannins, chewy
