91 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Tenacious is a rich, heady Merlot-based blend. Succulent dark red cherry fruit, spice, cedar and blood orange are all pushed forward. The 2021 has a bit more grip than in most previous years, so readers should consider cellaring it for at least a year or two. Drink: 2024-2031. (Dec 2023)"
Producer notes: "The 2021 Celani Family Tenacious is made from Estate grown grapes (73% Merlot / 27% Cabernet Franc). This wine is incredibly aromatic giving up gobs of blackberries, red currants, black raspberries, brambly plums and cherry compote. More subtle aromas of graphite, tobacco, mocha, and wildflowers add further dimensions of complexity. In the style of Right Bank Bordeaux, the Tenacious is seamless, opulent, and plush with mouthwatering savory black and blue fruits framed by finely structured tannins. This wine is hedonistically delicious now and will remain so over the next 10+ years."
