Deep glistening violet. Powerful, mineral-accented red/blue fruit scents are complemented by suggestions of incense and candied violet. Silky, energetic and appealingly sweet, offering palate-staining black raspberry, boysenberry and spicecake flavors supported by a spine of juicy acidity. In an energetic style, showing impressive finishing thrust, smooth tannins and strong, mineral-dominated persistence. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, October 2019)

Earthy, dried herbs/floral, cherry, raspberry/licorice, med tannin and nice acid. Fun wine, could benefit from some aging.

Attention-getting, juicy fruit. Good wine , wanting a little more earth and rusticity, but overall drinking nicely.

2013. Wild berry(cherry, raspberry), dried herbs, candied fruit, great acid and medium tannin. Great stuff. Will buy more and sit on it for a while.
