Rated vintages

  • 201591 pts

    Fresh-roasted coffee notes emerge on the nose of this thick, concentrated mountain wine, with a dark dose of toasty oak. Extracted flavors of black, smoky fruit give it heft and full-bodied richness.

  • 201488 pts

    This broad-shouldered, burly and feral wine is ripe with smoky cherry and vanilla notes. Smoothly textured, it imparts dusty leather and black licorice accents amid a serious slathering of oak.
