93-95 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Glass-staining ruby. A bright mineral overtone complements expansive blackberry, smoky bacon, olive and potpourri aromas. Sweet and broad on the palate, offering concentrated black and blue fruit, salty olive and floral pastille flavors and a suggestion of exotic spices. Finishes with repeating mineral, floral and dark fruit character, steadily building tannins and excellent persistence. (Dec 2022)"
93 points Matt Walls (Decanter): "Really gorgeous nose, with oregano, rosemary and menthol. It has the fresh chewy feel of stemmy tannins on the palate; it will require a couple of years to digest them. Blackberry fruit, great liveliness and energy. One of the best red St-Josephs this year - as it is in most vintages. Drinking Window: 2025-2030. (Sep 2022)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "A racy red, with mulled plum and fresh berry detailed by violet and white pepper. Shows generous salty charred iron and dusty earth notes that move through, with a firm finish. Drink now through 2027. (11/30/23)"
