90 POINTS
Wine Enthusiast, Virginie Boone
"This is a richly viscous and voluptuous red wine from the heat-loving appellation. Dried cherry and plum fruitiness meet baking spice, oak and a hint of lavender, with prominent tannin weight contributing additional heft and length."

Tasting notes

The 2019 vintage is bursting with vibrant, dynamic flavors. Sunny red berries and dried jamaica flowers are accented with notes of orange zest, black pepper, and star anise. Concentrated and complex, the palate is a balanced interplay of vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and a fresh wash of minerality.
