Finish: Long and concentrated, showcasing rich fruit density.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate RP 96+:
“Dark and resiny with a brooding nose of graphite, char, pencil shavings, purple fruits, flowers, and exotic spice. Gorgeous tannic structure — firm but finely ground — with fruit pressed around it. Eden Valley expresses its rocky terroir and cold nights, showing black tea/Earl Grey tea character offsetting blue/purple fruit. A sensational wine with excellent aging potential.”
