Clean and well-balanced, with a mix of dusty, savory herb, earth, and dried dark berry notes, this is complex and restrained, easing off on the finish. Drink now through 2025. 200,000 cases made. -JL.March/2017

Made for broad release, this wine impresses for its rounded, approachable layers of dried herb and anise, the tannin and oak lightly applied. Blended with 10% Merlot, it finds a jolt of richness on the finish, a showcase for notions of chocolate, cherry and blackberry...Virginie Boone, February/2017
