Vintage 2024: 93 Points Wine Spectator
“With an enticing nose of incense, smoked bacon fat and black currant, this dark-fruited red turns full and lush on the palate, with mouthcoating ripeness, spices and sandalwood smokiness. A salty spine of iron provides a ballast. A bruiser in stature, with plenty of power but also range and complex, savory drive. Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault. Best from 2027 through 2037.” - Kristen Bieler
