James Suckling, 92-93 Points 

"Tar, plum, earth and light bay-leaf aromas follow through to a medium-to full-bodied, round and layered palate with creamy tannins and a scorched-orange and spice aftertaste. Some walnuts, too. Fresh finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The Phoenix vineyard sits on some of the most unusual soils in the Napa Valley. While most of Napa soils are of volcanic origin, the East-facing steep hillside Phoenix Vineyard sits on a ridge of ancient marine shale soils. The rock content and sea minerals of these soils create unique wines with high-toned red fruits, perfumed and exotic, with a lightness in the mid-palate yet a long, firm, and structured finish. Wine singular enough, yet complete enough, to be worthy of a single vineyard designation."
