94 points Wine Spectator: "Racy and tightly focused, with a beam of cassis and raspberry fruit that is vivid and laced with mouthwatering lavender, savory and rosemary notes. Reveals a zing of iron through the finish. Drink now through 2030. 458 cases made, 70 cases imported. (11/30/18)"
94 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Bright purple. Intense dark fruit preserve and floral scents, along with hints of olive paste, vanilla and exotic spices. Sweet and expansive on the palate, offering powerful boysenberry and cassis flavors underscored by a vein of juicy acidity. Rich and broad but lively as well, showing excellent clarity and a suave floral nuance on the strikingly long, youthfully tannic finish. Drink: 2023-2031. (Sep 2019)"
