96 points James Suckling
Outer quote mark This deliberately, elegantly tuned blend of three parcels (Beaux Frères, Upper Terrace and Sequitur vineyards) delivers a redder-cherry focus of fruit on the nose with roses and some gently fragrant notes of leaves and sour cherries. There’s a lighter feel to the palate, yet it has great volume of red fruit and vibrant freshness. The tannins glide in silky, caressing and balanced mode. Drink or hold. Inner quote mark (1/2020)
94 points Vinous
Outer quote mark Vivid ruby-red. Seductive raspberry liqueur, exotic spice and floral oil aromas, along with hints of incense and smoky minerals. Juicy, seamless and broad on the palate, offering densely packed red berry and floral pastille flavors that show excellent clarity and tighten up steadily as the wine opens up. Fine-grained tannins lend shape to a strikingly long, velvety finish that shows superb red fruit- and spice-driven persistence. 35% new oak. (JR) Inner quote mark (8/2020)
94 points Wine Spectator
Outer quote mark Harmonious yet dynamic, with fervent violet and raspberry notes that pick up orange peel and black tea accents along the way to a polished, structured finish. (TF) Inner quote mark (10/2020) |
