James Suckling: 94 Points
Redcurrants, wild strawberries, melon and baking spices on the nose. Some cloves, too. Full-bodied with creamy tannins. Vibrant with lively acidity and juicy character on the palate. Sour cherries and tension through the smoky finish. Nice, medium-chewy tannins. Drink or hold.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
New this year, the 2018 Grenache Fiddleneck Vineyard has a ruby core and slight garnet rim, expressing aromas of dusty rose petals, cherry blossom and elements of plum compote, dried orange zest, iodine and a soft stemmy essence. Medium to full-bodied, the wine displays a fresh, bright expression, firm mineral essence and spiced, red-fruited nature that sways with dusty red flowers and an undercurrent of red peppercorn. The wine ends a delightfully lingering finish with a subtly spiced petrichor note that brings me back for another sip. Just over 3,000 bottles were produced.
