Vino Me wrote: 90 points
April 23, 2018 - Tasted at the winery. Barrel sample. A blend of clones 115, 943, SW and Calera from 4 year old vines. Clear ruby color. Notes of wet stones, cranberry and some blackberry. Solid grip on the finish at present. 89-91 points.

I really like how Modales has started out. They only opened their tasting room a year ago but have some impressive wines. Also White Pine, Karma Vista and Dablon have some nice wines but not at the same level as Wyncroft. I'll be revisiting a lineup from Hickory Creek for the first time since they came under new ownership in the next few days and will post notes.
