91 | Wine Spectator | Juicy and open in feel, with a mix of dried persimmon, hazelnut, date and candied walnut notes. A bitter almond streak on the finish adds balance. Drink now. 1,500 cases made, 250 cases imported. — JM August 2020 |

90 | International Wine Challenge | Salted, caramel nose with caramel with floral uplift. Spanish almonds accompanied by racy acidity and clean celery finish. Tightly round and ready to explode.

88 | Wine Enthusiast | Textbook amontillado aromas of butter, peanut, caramel and brine precede a fresh high-energy palate that's fueled by acidity. Nutty flavors of toffee include plenty of salt and some smoke, while this finishes long and slightly fiery. - Best Buy

*** | The Washington Post | Score: *** Stars (Exceptional/Great Value) Rich and nutty, this lovely amontillado smells and tastes of smoked meat, roasted hazelnuts and wild herbs, all with a creamy texture that coats the mouth. Pair it with hearty dishes such as smoked duck. Alcohol by volume: 18 percent. *** (exceptional) - Great Value "What goes perfectly with nibbles and snacks? Sherry, baby."
