Description

Vinous 96

The 2020 Haiku, the estate's Sangiovese/Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend, is once again impressive. Dark, explosive and layered, the 2020 delivers the goods. It's a wine that offers a mix of regional character with an international flair. One of the more expressive wines in the range, Haiku shows the more exuberant side of the year off in spades. Time in the glass releases the Franc aromatics very nicely.

James Suckling 95

This is really intense and energetic with black berries, black cherries and black earth with some black truffle and orange peel. It's medium- to full-bodied with chewy tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Already impressive for a young wine but needs two or three years to soften. A blend of sangiovese, merlot and cabernet franc. Best after 2025

Wine Advocate 94

A blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Haiku shows an inky dark appearance with black fruit aromas, dark granite, spice and iron ore. The 2020 vintage reveals an especially dark core of ripe fruit. The primary aromas are surrounded by spice, tarry smoke and leather. This edition is full-bodied and generous in only a manner 2020 can manage. This wine probably doesn't get the attention it deserves, but I suppose that's the downside of having a portfolio of so many other excellent wines.
