Wine Spectator 88 points - This zesty red is modestly built but appealing for the black cherry, pepper and licorice flavors that build toward slightly grippy tannins. Drink now through 2022. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 27,483 cases made. -TF.May/2018 Wine Enthusiast 88 points - The aromas are forward, with notes of black currant, blue fruit, herb and spice. The palate delivers a mouthful of sweet blue-fruit flavors, with the oak dialed back. Lightly dry tannins provide support. It’s hard to necessarily place it as Cabernet but it brings plenty of appeal..December/2017
