"The price on this struck me as being a little ambitious until I dug a little deeper, uncovering its exclusive nature. Coming from just under a half acre of plantings, this Petit Verdot grown in stemwinder soils is the epitome of a limited release: only three small barrels were made, which translates to just 70 cases of unfiltered, handcrafted deliciousness. There's an elegance here, with violets and dusty cocoa on the nose, then truffles, stewed raspberries, cherries, and currants on the palate. Although the tannins are well-placed, the wine's structure is that of a bottle maybe a couple years older, a little more ready to drink. Perhaps it's the limestone-rich soils, but there's a liveliness of structure here, crushed rocks and brilliant acidity rising to the surface." - Kurtis Kolt, The Georgia Straight
