Wine critic, Owen Bargreen says, "The Mourvedre for this wine underwent 60% whole cluster fermentation, as the wine was stored in 45% new French oak (mostly puncheons) prior to bottling. White pepper dusted bacon and menthol notes combine with freshly tilled soils on the nose, as this shows compelling aromatic range. The palate is fresh and inviting, showing off its pillowy texture. The combination of weight and finesse both meld beautifully together. Drink 2022-2034" - 94 pts

Wine critic, Josh Reynolds of Vinous says, "Inky magenta. Heady, spice-accented cherry liqueur, fruitcake and floral aromas are complemented by suggesstions of smoky minerals, vanilla and cola. Vibrant, sharply focused rasperry and bitter cherry flavors become deeper and sweeter with air and pick up licorice and exoctic spice nuances. Shows impressive energy and solid thrust on the impressively long, spice-dominated finish, which is given shape by steadily building tannis. 35% new French oak. Drink 2024- 2033" - 93 pts
