JAMES SUCKLING: "So much blackberry, stone, dried-mushroom and wet-earth character on then nose. Yet it’s a wine that remains clear and focused. Medium-to full-bodied, linear and tannic. A serious wine. Best in years from here. Better in 2022."

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "This is a big wine in its breadth of flavors and structure. Powerful tannins give hints of the wood aging. The ripe black fruit is given a crisp edge by the acidity that is typical of the vintage. The wine will certainly age well. Drink from 2023."

WINE SPECTATOR: "This has a fleshy feel, with layers of warm plum, cassis and cherry preserve flavors gliding through, backed by smoldering bay and singed alder notes that give steadying grip through the finish. Has some stuffing in reserve and should unwind nicely. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2020 through 2030. 1,800 cases made."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Silky, fresh, sweet, medium bodied and already showing a soft, sensuous quality with plumy fruits at its core, this wine will drink well early."
