Senior Editor, Aaron Romano of Wine Spectator says, "This complex, engaging red displays a wild character, with chaparral, leather and white pepper details at the front complemented by a lilac note that unfolds on the palate alongside a fresh, elegantly textured core of black cherry and mulberry. Graphite weaves through, lending some structure, yet finishes with poise and elegance around refined tannins and hints of cigar box and cordial. Drink now through 2038" 95 points
Lisa Perrotti-Brown of The Wine Independent says, "The 2022 Azimuth is a blend of 44% Mourvèdre, 35% Grenache, 19% Syrah, and 2% Mataro. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it races out of the glass with ready to go notes of blackberries and black raspberries, giving way to hints of iris, Sichuan pepper, and tar. The full-bodied palate has a solid structure of ripe, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness to frame the muscular black fruits, finishing long and spicy." 94+ points
Wine critic, Owen Bargreen says, "The 2022 Azimuth offers lovely smoked meats and black olives on the nose alongside shades of wild blackberry and white truffle shavings. The palate is showing beautiful texture and freshness with a great push-pull incorporating fruit and non-fruit flavors. Very earthy and complex, enjoy now and over the next fifteen years (through 2039)." 96 points
Wine reviewer, Jeb Dunnuck says, "A blend of 44% Mourvèdre, 35% Grenache, 19% Syrah, and 2% Mataro, the 2022 Azimuth offers notes of spiced redcurrants, darker cherries, leather, peppery herbs, and loamy earth. Medium to full-bodied, it has a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe, present tannins, and a great nish. Aged 18 months in 60% new and 40% once-used French oak puncheons, it's rock solid, complex, and beautifully balanced. Drink 2025-2035." 93 points
