2018 vintage notes
93 points Vinous: "Expressive boysenberry, cherry liqueur, musky earth and floral scents are energized by a building mineral quality. Sweet and penetrating in the mouth, offering concentrated red and blue fruit, spicecake, lavender pastille and licorice flavors that become livelier with aeration. Gently chewy tannins frame a long, juicy finish that repeats the floral and blue fruit notes. 15% new oak."
93 points, Editors' Choice Wine Enthusiast: "This deftly expresses its core of blueberry, blackberry and black cherry fruit, in a textured, mineral-soaked framework. Light scents and streaks of cola and tobacco contribute more detail and depth. An early release, this should continue to develop and drink well over the next five to eight years."
