"This feels effortlessly balanced. It's fully ripe and yet hasn't lost its beautiful savory accents - the bacon fat, the gingerbread, the smoky briary intensity that seems to have a gravitational pull on the dark cherry fruit. It's velvety and gorgeous. Tri-tip, please." ~ Wine & Spirits 

"The savory oak tones are prominent on the nose of this bottling, which also shows cassis and peppercorn on the lavish nose. Ripe flavors of blackberry jam are cut by smoke, bacon fat and more cracked pepper on the palate." ~ Wine Enthusiast
