Château de Farmer Likes this wine: 96 points
September 11, 2020 - This honestly blew us away. Tasted blind in a series of other wines with varying origins, grapes, and colors...but all were in the "sweet spot" price range ($25-70); and this was heads and tails above all the rest. In such a great balance between fruit, acid, oak, minerality, earthiness on both the nose and palate, and several years of bottle age are wearing handsomely on it. Very much "New World" in profile, but when done this well, it doesn't need to prove anything else. Outstanding QPR, drinks several times it's value.
