97 points Wine Spectator: "A powerful wine that reveals a distinctive sense of place. Dark blackberry and loamy earth aromas reveal a core of rich, structured fruit, with bitter chocolate, olive and smoky-spicy dried herb flavors. The tannins on the finish are bold but polished, suggesting time in the cellar is a must. Syrah and Mourvèdre. Best from 2018 through 2030. 380 cases made. (3/31/17)"
94 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Bright purple. Intense, highly perfumed cherry liqueur and blueberry aromas are complicated by suggestions of smoky minerals, spicecake and candied licorice. Sappy, appealingly sweet dark fruit and floral pastille flavors show impressive energy and pick up a hint of cola. The mineral element comes back with air and adds a sense of coolness to the wine's powerful fruit. Rich yet vibrant and precise, displaying superb balance and a gently tannic finish that leaves notes of sappy dark berries and allspice behind. Drink: 2019-2026. (Sep 2016)"
