A concentrated, silky wine emphasizing varietal expression, richness and balance from start to finish.

Critical Acclaim

James Suckling - 93pts
Nicely tight, elegant, firm with tannins and alive with tasty red and black fruits. While velvety and approachable, this is a good vintage to cellar for several years for more complexity to develop. Great balance, freshness and linearity propel it through a lingering finish.

Wine Enthusiast - 93pts
This velvety, opulent wine is rich in baked cherry and blackberry aromas, with dark chocolate and crème de cassis flavors. Layers of fruit and oak spices fill the palate, shaped gently by fine-grained tannins. Best from 2026–2034.
