James Suckling #32 Top 100 Wines of the USA 2025 97 pts
An epic wine to enjoy now or hold for many years. Moderate tannins wrap around blackberries, black pepper, star anise, black licorice and stony, iron-like flavors. Aged in all-new, large-sized French oak barrels for 34 months.
SJR Vineyard
A vibrant deep royal opaque red is followed by aromatics of black plum, smoked meats, roasted earth, with hints of orange peel and sweet cream. The palate is a complete expression of what the SJR Vineyard is best known for - pure finesse, elegance and intensity. Lush with fluidity from the front / mid palate and a lengthy finish that is focused on black and red fruits as well as savory and gamy notes. Exotic and sensual.
"This unusually long-aged wine is big, bold and full-bodied, deep in black fruit, dark chocolate and a sweet balsamic note. Moderate tannins wrap around blackberries, black pepper, star anise, black licorice and stony, iron-like flavors. Aged in all-new, large-sized French oak barrels for 34 months. An epic wine to enjoy now or hold for many years."
