Andrew Jefford | Dark black-red in color. Ripe blackcurrants lent breadth by the comfort of oak; these aromas are softly attractive. On the palate, the wine has some generosity in squared-up style, with adequate ripeness, depth, and structure. The acidity is too prominent to lend the palate much sweetness or aging potential, but the wine’s concentration may make it a value choice in youth. 2018–22. | 86

Michael Schuster | Youthful cedary, gravelly blackcurrant Cabernet nose; fresh, elegant, medium-full, moderately tannic wine; crisply savory, lightly aromatic, overall youthfully firm and needing time; good, gently chewy second wine. 2023–30+. | 88
