94 POINTS + SILVER MEDAL - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion, 2024
I've always been a fan of this Bethany-born, single-vineyard grenache from Jason Schwarz. The '23 is a pretty compelling wine; spacious with a touch of sinew and chewy tannin to its form; dark plum and cherry fruit tones, studded with hints of amaro herbs, exotic spice, earth, cured meats, cola and brambly, whole-bunchy (30% in '23) intrigue. Some meaty tones hum underneath all the spice and fruit too, which I love.
93 POINTS + 4 STARS - Aaron Brasher, The Real Review, 2024
Brambly aromas, along with sap, spice, dark cherry, blackberry and earth. Mouth-filling, layered and with a core of red and blue fruits. There's lovely mouth-feel and texture here and there's some complexing, bunchy action that brings plenty to the table. The tannins are firm and detailed and the acidity has plenty of zip.
