| Description: | 93 pts 'Best Buy' Wine & Spirits January 2021 "That's just beautiful." I don't often write those words for a $20 wine, if I write them at all. While Chester Osborn may be farming 37 varieties and making many more wines, he has in no way neglected this classic. In fact, this is the best d'Arry's Original in recent memory, though Chester's father, d'Arry Osborn, mayremember better since he created the original "Burgundy" blend in the 1960s. This is a lovely, bright, sassy wine, more about elemental sensations than any direct fruit. The grape-skin freshness of its tannins seems to reflect the cool, late vintage, delivering a sensation like the pure brisk feel of snow melt. The texture is supple, with some rocky edges, and there's a spice to the wine, a bright fruit character shadowed by gamey notes. Simple, classic and delicious." 91 pts Wine Spectator 11/30/20 Juicy, plump cherry, blackberry and blueberry flavors mingle with vanilla bean, mocha and nutmeg details in this red. The tannins are firm, and there's a savory, sanguine note in the background, plus a lingering hint of roasted chestnut. Shiraz and Grenache. Drink now. 91 pts Halliday Wine Companion Aug 2020 "Excellent release. It has some volume. Raspberry and black cherry with saltbush and briar notes. It holds up well through the full length of the palate. Recommended." 91 pts James Suckling May 2020 A very attractive array of raspberry-driven aromas with a sleek, drinkable palate. Super fine tannins carry redcurrant, red-plum, raspberry and blueberry flavors in linear mode. Stunning value, like a good Cotes du Rhone." |
