Critics Ratings

‘On the toasty, more modern side of the spectrum, with ambitious roasted fig, apple wood and blueberry confiture notes followed by racy graphite, espresso and blackberry pâte de fruit. Not shy, but has the density for balance. Best from 2013 through 2024.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Mar 2012)

‘Elegant, with loads of black currant fruit, cherries and dusty, loamy soil notes as well as hints of tobacco leaf, spice box and cedar, it is a medium to full-bodied, nicely textured, fleshy wine that should drink nicely for 10-15+ years.’ – Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Dec 2011)

‘Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc. The Lorenzettis now own this. Very dark purple. Nose seems a bit simple. Oak in evidence. Embryonic. May get there but it seems more about winemaking than terroir.’ – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 15.5/20 (Sep 2011)

‘Barrel sample. A fine and spicy wine, the wood toast well integrated with the sweet fruit. Deliciously ripe Merlot vies with the Cabernet tannins to give a dark, complex wine.’ – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 93/100 (Aug 2010)
