Vinous: 97 Points

Deep, bright-rimmed ruby. Vibrant raspberry, cherry, blueberry and floral scents are complicated by suggestions of botanical herbs and exotic spices. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering intense, finely detailed red and blue fruit liqueur and spicecake flavors and a subtle lavender nuance. Fine-grained tannins lend gentle grip to a wonderfully long, focused finish that leaves suace floral pastille, vanilla and Moroccan spice notes behind.

Wine Advocate: 95 Points

The 2019 Heart Stone Vineyard, a blend of 32% Graciano, 30% Grenache, 24% Syrah, 8% Mataro, 4% Petite Sirah, 1% Touriga Nacional and 1% Viognier, has a toned-down but perfumed expression this vintage. Its aromas—blue and black berries accented by tones of mint, earth, coffee beans and purple flowers—evolve as the wine spends time in the glass. Medium-bodied, with a silty texture and fresh acidity, the palate offers floral fruits and a long, uplifted finish.

Wine Spectator: 94 Points

A gutsy blend, broad-shouldered in structure and jammed with personality, offering black raspberry, smoked pepper, fruitcake spices and crushed stone accents that build toward firm tannins. Graciano, Grenache, Syrah, Mataro, Petite Sirah, Viognier and Touriga Nacional. Best from 2023 through 2032. 585 cases made. — TF
