Alex Hunt: Translucent color, opaque nose. There’s a lovely texture to the palate, which is round and supple even if lifted by a tiny touch of residual CO2, but the flavor is mainly lacking. There’s a bit of rather unappealing mousiness but not much fruit to enjoy. 82

Andrew Jefford: Clear red. Sweet, fresh, and lively, with some lifted cherry fruits realized with lots of airy grace. Lively and vivid, probably the freshest of our Grenache cohort: ample soft cherry with a milk-chocolate finish. How could anyone not enjoy sipping this? At the same time, it has some nuance and stony finesse to carry you through the bottle. These great Grenaches are so soft and smooth and seamless that they are easy to underestimate. This is another truly fine Grenache effort. 93

Peter Liem: This combines a juicy ripeness with a savory earthiness and firm tannin, finishing with fresh, delicate aromas and quiet length. It feels concentrated in its red-fruit ripeness without needing weight, showing an impressive harmony. 90
