95 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"Aromas of fresh brewed coffee, hot tar, burnt sage, scorched orange peel, tart cherries and raspberries come first, then a palate that's salty and almost effervescent with acid, where more tart and sweet berries pop and crunch, and a citrus heat warms everything." -DC, 9/1/25
88 Points - Wine Spectator
"A lean, angular red, with tightly wound cherry, currant and tobacco leaf flavors. Just needs a good tomato-based sauce to come alive. Drink now through 2020. 1,200 cases made, 400 cases imported." -BS, 9/30/15
