95 Points
Lightly hued in the glass, this wine is loaded on the nose with fresh hints of raspberry alongside an earthy core of forest floor and crushed rocks. Firm tension surrounds the earthy focus of the sip, where clay and loam evolve into raspberry jam, bay leaf and sagebrush flavors before peppery acidity fires up the finish.
