93 pts Wine Spectator
#92 wine of the year 2024 Top 100
Complex and very well-crafted, with good weight and ripeness to the black fruit, hibiscus and cured sausage flavors. Elements of crushed aniseed, coffee and baking spices add nice richness, with charred mesquite smoke wafting through. The tannins are nicely sculpted and firm, with a bitter cherry note ringing out on the long finish, which is cut with precision. Drink now through 2035. 2,100 cases made, 300 cases imported. —KB

Opaque magenta. Pungent blackberry and cherry liqueur scents are complemented by suggestions of violet, olive and exotic spices. Subtly chewy and expansive in the mouth, offering spice-tinged black and blue fruit and floral pastille flavors that show sharp delineation and strong, spicy thrust. Juicy and velvety in texture, finishing with insistent blue fruit, floral and spice notes and steadily building tannins. One-third whole clusters. - By Josh Raynolds on December 2022

dark red; an oak-tar combination shows on the bouquet, with blue fruit, a cool inner, isn't yet together, has licorice with the inner snap of rock mineral notes. The palate also presents blue fruit, has tight binding, resources within. The tannins are ripe, round. It has iron on the inside, ends with quite firm content and some oak. 30% whole bunch, which comes through. 13.5°. From 2024.
