96 points James Suckling: Lots of ripe strawberries with some citrus and cream. Some meat, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with round, ripe tannins and a delicious, juicy finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap. (11/9/21)"

93 points Decanter: "Fresh and breezy with racy citrus acidity, fine tannins and distinct umami notes of dried seaweed and forest floor. They used 40% whole bunches, along with 40% new oak in maturation, and it shows deft balance of perfumed summer pudding fruit concentration and vanilla spice. Drinking Window: 2022-2025. (Jun 2022)"

Producer notes: "Upon release the wine is bright ruby in colour, the bouquet a rich tapestry of both red and dark fruit, as well as savoury notes. Heady aromas of cherries, plums and pomegranate swell from the glass, flanked by a smouldering column of cinnamon, mushroom, truffle and leather. The mouthfeel is generous yet supple, with a pelt of velvety ripe tannins that adds structure and length. Well-judged acidity completes the perfect partnership, giving balance and setting up for a long and harmonious finish."
