| Description: | 92 Points Antonio Galloni, Vinous | 97 Points Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com. Seductive version of Vanguard with a nose of dark rose petal, clove and black cherry. Lifted notes of peppercorn, rosemary and sandalwood. Ripe red cherry and blacken plum skin. Silky red fruit dominates the supple and long midpalate. A wine of textural beauty. Turns savory and formal with tremendous earth-driven tannic structure. Resinous and fresh. Lovely structural dimension from gently toasted French oak. A vibrant, proper and an unforgettable send off for The Vanguard blend. - Matt Dees, Winemaker. Cases: 69. Alcohol: 13%. Appellation: Sta. Rita Hills.
