95 points Wine Enthusiast: "Baked boysenberry aromas are dusted in cedar shavings on the well integrated nose of this blend of 42% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 18% Mourvèdre. There's a firm tension to the palate, giving an edge to the dark purple flower and blueberry cream flavors that ride those chalky tannins deep into the finish. Alcohol 15.0%. (Mar 2024)"

93 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2020 Parallax is dark and intense, with a mentholated herbal burst that gives way to masses of dried black cherries and ashen earth. This is silky-smooth and round in feel, with cooling acidity and mineral tones guiding its tart wild berry fruits. This finishes tannic yet long and mouthwatering, with hints of licorice that slowly fade. Drink: 2025-2033. (May 2023)"

92 points James Suckling: "Deep and rich with dark plums, ripe berries, smoked meat, toasted spices and undergrowth. Full-bodied, firm and solid with a broad tannin structure. Intense and persistent on the palate with a lingering finish. A blend of 42% grenache, 40% syrah and 18% mourvedre. Drink or hold. (10/16/23)"
