'' Aromatic, with floral, dried berry and a hint of chocolate, this is complex and dense, with a grainy texture. Broad and well-integrated, with a lingering finish.” - 87 points, Wine Spectator
very inviting. Dark with fine but present tannins. Tight but nicely fragrant in the middle with sweet fruit on the finish. Plenty of substance - 17 points, Jancis Robinson
"Very generous wood fights somewhat at present with the cool, spicy and highly complex nose of red currant, plum and violet aromas that is very much in keeping with the equally spicy rich, full-bodied and tautly muscled flavors that display ample minerality on the balanced, long and linear finish. This is a very serious effort with fine but dense tannins that will require 15 to 20 years for them to fully resolve so this isn't a precocious Riche."
“Bright crimson. Very sweet and obvious, Rich. not a bad price for such a flattering wine, but it's not the purest. Early drinker. Drink 2014-2019.” – 16/20 points, Jancis Robinson
“Discreet if not invisible wood frames a much earthier and equally spicy nose of red and dark berry fruit aromas that complement well the rich, full and generous medium-bodied flavors that are supported by good levels of dry extract and excellent length for villages. Worth a look.” -87-90 points, Burghound,2007
This too sports a highly spiced aromatic profile though here there is a much more pronounced earth influence that is picked up by the richer and bigger flavors that offer more volume but less detail on the balanced and relatively forward finish.
Tedeschi seems to struggle achieving a consistent level of quality across all of their offerings. I found the simpler wines better balanced than the more important bottles. This may very well be a case of trying too hard, as the estate is clearly capable of making beautiful wines.
Attractive, supple wine with good floral, cherry and pepper characters. The wine , which includes a blend of Viognier, has good acidity, fine tannins and moderate length. A fairly serious Syrah with moderate cellaring potential.
