93 Point Rated - Erin Larkin James Halliday Wine Companion

"Hand-picked with the inclusion of 5% shiraz, 4 days cold soak, open-fermented, 14 days on skins, 15 months in used oak. A complex, medium to full-bodied tempranillo with greater weight and complexity than most, including black and purple fruits."

"Bay leaf, blackcurrants and smoke lift from the glass. Dark berries run the central-palate line, with subtle brushstrokes of bay leaf and rosemary. A deep roast meat note lingers on into the finish. Fine tannin and acid structures give focus to this long, medium-bodied red."

"It’s made from four cones of Tempranillo growing on the Forest Grove property. It didn’t see any new oak. It includes a whisker of shiraz.

It’s a drinker. As in, one sip and you just want to settle in and get on with it. It’s medium weight, if anything on the light side of it, with cherry and redcurrant notes floated with cloves, sweet spice and bay. It’s juicy, even-tempered and well-shaped but essentially it’s just super-easy to drink. I wouldn’t keep this; I’d drink it young while the fruit is free."
