“This densely packed wine is layered in gorgeous fruits...all wrapped in velvety tannins for a smooth and creamy texture. The subtle oak spices are flooded by the potent fruitiness that lingers long on the finish...” —Jim Gordon, Wine Enthisiast. 95 Points.

"...nicely balanced and medium to full-bodied, with the vintage’s more focused, straight style, it should benefit from just a few years in the cellar and have 15 years of overall longevity.” —Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com. 93 Points.
"...marked by great freshness and verve, tart black cherries and a touch of cassis on the nose, while the palate is medium to full-bodied, streamlined and remarkably elegant." —Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate. 93 Points.
"...It's full-bodied, perhaps a bit more powerful, richer and more tannic, with hints of mocha and cigar box as well. Long and sultry on the finish, it picks up extra complexity in the form of salted licorice, black olives and earth.” —Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate. 96 Points.
"...an inky, explosive wine that captures a surprising amount of varietal character...Lagrein on steroids, and I mean that in a positive sense. This rich, head-spinning Lagrein sure has a ton to offer...” —Antonio Galloni, Vinous. 94 Points.
