94 pts - A very limited barrel select reserve, this gets an extra dollop of new oak (40%) during 10 months in barrel. Though it lacks the tight specificity of the single-clone bottles, it comprehensively represents the whole estate in a single wine. A mix of red berries, barrel toast, some light stem flavors and a dusting of coffee grounds, it's a substantial, well-structured wine that drinks well already but should add further details with aging. Drink now and through the rest of the decade. - Paul Gregutt, Wine Enthusiast
This juicy single-clone selection is loaded with dark fruits—blackberries and cherries. The fruit flavors are beautifully melded and accented with toast and spice from aging in 20% new French oak. A small percent of the ferment was whole cluster, adding a lightly earthy counterpoint to the expressive Pommard clone fruit. The balance overall is perfect.
