"This equal blend of Syrah and Grenache from Bien Nacido Vineyard is simply outstanding. After 9 years from the vintage, it has reached a fine balance of the gentle, moderate sweetness and refreshing acidity. The nose opens with a kirsch, dark cherry, chocolate, and nuances of vanilla.  It possesses fine structure, complexity and velvety texture closing with a long, satisfying finish. It is truly delicious. Ready to drink and will age for over a decade." -- Paul Lato, November 2023
