96 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Also gorgeous, the 2018 Tempranillo reveals a more opaque purple hue as well as a great nose of redcurrants, blueberries, raspberries, exotic flowers, and loads of savory spice. This carries to a rich, meaty, medium to full-bodied Tempranillo with polished tannins, notable freshness, and a beautiful finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. It's another 2018 from this team that has the purity and elegance to drink brilliantly today yet the balance and structure to evolve for at least 15 years or more. Drink: 2021-2036. (5/6/21)"

93+ points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "Bright, dark red-ruby. Raspberry complicated by peppery spices and tree bark on the nose. Juicy, silky and alive on entry, then intensely flavored and fine-grained in the middle palate, offering classically dry flavors of raspberry, minerals, spices and soil. No easy sweetness here! With a serious tannic spine calling for aging, this juicy wine needs time to unfold and put on weight. In comparison, the 2017 bottling was a bit more open-knit last year, but this long, juicy wine shows more vinosity than the 2018 Cayuse Impulsivo Tempranillo. Drink: 2023-2032. (Dec 2020)"

93 points James Suckling: "Stewed plums, spices, roasted meat and grilled herbs on the nose. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins. Fleshy texture on the palate with chalky and spicy character. Flavorful, smoky and earthy finish. Drink or hold. (7/12/21)"
