Tasting Notes:
98 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2014 Vecina displays a deep garnet-purple color and has a broody, baked blueberries, cassis and anise-laced nose with suggestions of garrigue, dusty earth and bay leaves. Full-bodied, rich, spicy and powerful in the mouth, it offers a lot of latent layers and promises great, great things to come with an incredibly long, layered finish. It needs a bit of time but should cellar beautifully for a good 25 years+. (LBP) 98+ (1/2017)
97 points Jeb Dunnuck
Another awesome wine is the 2014 Vecina and it’s from a vineyard on the western side of the valley, right up next to Harlan Estate. This deep, full-bodied, seriously concentrated 2014 gives up loads of plums, currants, toasty oak, chocolate, and chalky minerality. It picks up a touch of violets with time in the glass, but the theme here is deep, dark fruit and minerality. With the forward, supple style of the vintage, it still has serious concentration and structure, and is going to be long-lived. (1/2017)
97 points Vinous
One of the most expressive wines in this range, the 2014 Vecina is powerful, dense and explosive. Despite its obvious intensity, the 2014 has quite a bit of detail and nuance. Time in the glass unleashes the wine’s natural intensity, volume and power. The huge, savory and mineral-drenched finish only adds to the wine’s immeasurable beauty. (AG) (1/2018)
96-97 points James Suckling
Aromas of roses and blackberries with hints of sweet tobacco and forest floor. Full body characterized by orange peel, blackberries, plums and hints of cherries. Milk chocolate and terra cotta. (1/2017)
