Bright, full, deep ruby. Very sexy, musky nose conveys liqueur-like ripeness to the aromas of black fruits, licorice, menthol and minerals; a faint leesy quality adds nuance without distracting from the fruit. Plush, sweet, highly concentrated and seamless; this wine was a bit strict in the early going but today it really captures the creamy side of this vintage. Perhaps most impressive on the slowly building finish, which features suave tannins and a firming touch of graphite minerality. Really expands on the palate with air. Utterly delicious today but capable of holding for at least another decade. (14.8% alcohol) (Stephen tanzer, Vinous, July 2019)

Ripe (as in VERY ripe), jammy and not my thing any longer. This will have plenty of fans in the "RMP camp". I'm much preferring what Austin P. as head winemaker has been making the last few vintages.

The label was a wine-stained earthquake memory, but the wine was outstanding. A great winery.

No surprises, just black, round, powerful tantalizing cabernet with all the bells and whistles. Loved the oak on this puppy. Well executed and obviously made with a ton of love.

Dark fruit supported by softened tannins, toasted vanilla, and charcoal. Beautiful balance. A young wine but an enjoyable glass already.
