"DWWA 2026 Platinum Medal: Regal and imperious: a gamut of black plum, cherry and spicy tobacco mottles the nose and inhabits the palate alongside grasping tannins and vibrant sweet and sour acidity. A steadfast mineral backbone drives the powerful finish."

"A mineral vein is at the core of this red, along with black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet and Mediterranean herb flavors. Lively and juicy, with refined tannins emerging on the lingering finish. Pure, solidly built and harmonious. Best from 2027 through 2043."B.S."
