93 Points Wine Spectator:
“Plump and polished, with a cornucopia of aromas and flavors, including notes of spiced mocha, blackberry, dried cherry, licorice and savory beef that build structure toward refined tannins. Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah and Clairette Blanche. Drink now through 2028.”

Marionberry, dark leather, smoked plums, blueberry/peach cobbler, acacia flower, lavender creme brûlée, red-eye gravy, violet, ripe olive, hoisin, currant paste, and melted licorice. Broad, weighty, and plush on the palate with a densely packed finish.
