Description

#18 - Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2024

Wine Spectator 95

The core flavors of black currant, black cherry and pomegranate are shaded by mint, violet, iron and toasty oak notes in this dense, rich red, with a matrix of polished tannins for support. The balance is excellent, as is the aftertaste. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. Best from 2026 through 2040. 2,900 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.

James Suckling 94

A firm and composed red showing walnuts, dried herbs, clay, black fruit and cedar on the nose. It’s full-bodied, polished and compact, with firm yet fine-grained tannins. Toasted walnut character on a long finish. Drink from 2025.
