"Ripe berry and cassis aromas come with an oaky note of coconut and a sweet dash of marzipan. A big, flush palate is tannic and lush, but a bit chunky and fat. Coconut, blackberry and mocha flavors finish long and ripe, with tobacco notes. Drink this heavy blend of Syrah, Petit Verdot, Carmenère and Cabernet Franc through 2023."

"A big-shouldered red, with robust flavors of roasted plum, dried berry and cherry tart flanked by savory accents. A dried beef note lingers on the richly spiced finish. Syrah, Petit Verdot, Carmenère and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2021.—K.M."

"Earthy, spicy aromas of green herbs, eucalyptus and berry fruits reflect the blend, which is Syrah, Petit Verdot, Carmenère and Cab Franc. In the mouth, this is rocky on the surface but deeply layered. Dark, toasty flavors of mint and herbal black fruits finish tannic and drying. - MICHAEL SCHACHNER"

"Mostly syrah, petit verdot and carmenère, with 10 percent franc in the blend, this is a dark and inky wine with some barnyard rusticity in the tannins. It has the black-olive tones of syrah and a floral orange-blossom scent underneath, creating intriguing complexity. Autumnal in tone, it’s ready for quail roasted with delicata squash. - J.G."

"Your patience will be rewarded if you tuck away this youthful cuvée of Syrah, Petit Verdot, Carmenère and Cabernet Franc for a while. It’s a focused, concentrated, smoky red with scented oak, firm tannins and the acidity and fruit power to develop in bottle. 2022-28"
