Wine Spectator Review - Issue Mar 31, 2022 - Rated 95:
Delivers a lot to like, with a violet thread amid a mix of cassis, plum reduction and blackberry puree flavors, all stitched with light alder, singed vanilla and tobacco notes. Features very light iron and cassis bush notes that curl around the finish, adding subtle tension to the seductive, friendly fruit. Very suave. Best from 2024 through 2040. 2,550 cases made. — JM
Wine Enthusiast Review - Published 5/1/2022 - Rated 98:
An exceptional blend of the famous Fay Estate and SLV Estate, this wine dates back to the 1970s and is spectacular in this vintage. Juicy, bright and effusive, it offers a lightness of spice, well-integrated oak and a cohesive, silky texture. Structured, it shows dark-berry fruit, a hint of crushed rock and fig, expansive on the palate. This should age beautifully; enjoy best from 2028 through 2038. - VIRGINIE BOONE
