"This wine’s clean red berry flavors are brightened by scents of violets and lavender. Then the soft influence of oak takes the finish in a bacon-scented direction. For roast pork." - Wine & Spirits Magazine (April 2017), 87 pts
"An elegant wine that is balanced between blackberry fruits and tight acidity. It is structured with a blend of wood aging and crisp fruit. Drink this attractive wine now. - Roger Voss" - Wine Enthusiast (November 2016), 88 pts + BEST BUY
"A dense but supple red, with ripe cherry and raspberry notes detailed with gingerbread, berry tea and olive accents, supported by full tannins and well integrated acidity. Baking spice and mineral elements bind together on the finish. Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca. Drink now through 2022." - Wine Spectator (December 2017), 89 pts
