92 POINTS James Suckling
"Dark berries, coffee, dark chocolate and spices define the nose. Firm and full-bodied with tightly wound tannins that provide a substantial grip. Long, dark-fruited finish. A little coarse at the end. Better from 2027."

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
An expressive wine with aromas of dark fruits, cedar and savory spice. Ripe red cherry flavors are highlighted by a balanced acidity and soft tannins, followed by a lingering bittersweet cocoa finish.
Vineyard Notes
The 2019 year has been one of contrasts in Northern California.
The cool spring, clear, sunny month of June and moderate temperatures through July and August allowed the vines to develop grapes in pristine conditions. By late summer things started to warm up, and continued through early September to bring sugars and the concentration of flavors to ideal levels...Overall the 2019 Vintage looks to be another fabulous year for wine!

Excellent to pair with roast lamb, grilled pork chops, or acorn squash stuffed with fennel sausage.
