Score 95/100 · Drink 2023-2038, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Dec 2022

The 2018 True Believer Reserve is a blend of 55% Grenache and 34% Syrah with a smaller percentage of Mourvèdre and other varieties. Medium ruby in color, it has alluring aromas of raspberry jam, autumn leaves, potpourri and botanicals. Full-bodied, powerful and pure, the palate offers concentrated yet detailed flavors, seamless freshness and a long, ethereal finish.

The 2018 Reserve is a beauty, with a gorgeous array of ripe black fruits, scorched earth, graphite, and ground pepper. Fermented with 28% stems and brought up in 75% new French oak, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a plush, sexy, yet concentrated mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This pleasure-bent beauty is not to be missed.
