2018 Rainin Vineyard
96 Points — Wine Spectator
Inky garnet in color, this powerful wine reveals aromas of pure black cassis, followed by cocoa powder, minerality, and a savory umami aroma of grilled herbs.
Plentiful finegrained tannins with a dark chocolate-like texture and a lengthy full-bodied finish express an age-worthy wine. This is a beautifully rich and ultra-pure expression of our exceptional Rainin Vineyard.

“This is a deep and enveloping wine, offering creamy-textured waves of plum paste, boysenberry preserves and warm kirsch, all inlaid with fresh violet, anise and black tea notes. There’s serious heft and drive on the finish, with tarry-edged tannings driving through and a late flurry of sweet bay leaf and apple wood notes that add even more range and detail.”
–James Molesworth
