94 pts, Halliday
Durif taken to a modern, fresh-faced place. It's not heavy but offers a power of dark berried fruit. But it also has floral overtones and a clear sense of juicy, free-flowing momentum; it satisfies but it also makes you want to keep coming back for more.
93+ pts, The Wine Front
It’s fresh. There some muscle to the tannin but most especially the wine is fresh and elegant. It feels pure. It has depth but it doesn’t feel heavy. Blackberry, dry liquorice, dark earth, florals. The more you let it breathe the more the tannin builds, in a good way. A quality way. Now or in ten year’s time, you’ll be handsomely rewarded. There aren’t too many wines you can say that of. This is pretty spiffy. (Campbell Mattinson)
