96 Points — Wine Advocate (10/2025)

Aged primarily in used barrels, with 18% whole clusters in the fermenter, seeing only gentle pumpovers, no punchdowns. A 50-50 mix of Clones 115 and 777, it delivers waves of vibrant fruit, mainly black cherries, but with hints of violets and tea-like herbals. Medium- to full-bodied, delicately built around silky tannins and vibrant acids, with ample complexity on the lingering finish. 127 cases produced.
