Features fresh earth, forest floor and moss accents to the taut core of cherry and currant flavors, with a red licorice note on the finish, accented by a touch of green tea. Firm finish. Drink now through 2027. 628 cases made. 91 Points.
New Zealand’s Pellucid Wines: More Light Than Heat , Stephen Tanzer, May 2016
Walter also opened a bottle of the 2012 Block 3, which offered sexy scents of red fruits and truffleyunderbrush and lovely sweetness to its lush flavors of strawberry and smoke. This wine from thick-skinned grapes and a cool summer has plenty of fat but is a bit burlier and seems more heavily extracted than the 2013 version. I rated it 93 points and recommend that it be consumed within the next four or five years. 93 Points.
