93 Points: 2018 Mourvedre, El Dorado
“This wine enjoys full ripeness and a generous panoply of red fruits, a sun-warmed bowl of strawberries with woodland accents. The texture is a delight, the wine’s spidery lightness holding a kind of tensile integrity in its tannic structure, with lithe energy that led one taster to think of tango dancers.”

“This barrels out of the gate with the scents of grenache—warm, heady strawberry, turf and earth. The demonstrative aromatics give way to a wine of unexpected poise, flavorful but reserved, with finely woven tannins and a vinous, earthy frame”
91 Points: 2018 Grenache, Estate
“Pale red in the glass, this wine has an unexpected depth, even in its initial aromas of warm plums and sealing wax, a whiff of turf in the background. The flavors start off quiet, but in a day the fruit grows punchy and forward, one warm, bright-red berry note. Give it time in the cellar.”
