92 Points - Vinous
"Opaque ruby. Powerful dark berry, mocha and floral aromas are complemented by suggestions of incense and vanilla. Sweet, broad and velvety on the palate, offering concentrated blackberry and cherry pie flavors given spine by a core of juicy acidity. Clings with a strong tenacity on the smoky finish, which is framed by smooth, harmonious tannins. 40% new French oak." Josh Raynolds
