Jeff Cohn Cellars Description
A dark garnet mahogany red color. Aromatics of graham cracker, Peking duck and hoisin sauce, black cherry, roasted earth, black currant, sweet pipe tobacco, lavender, black olive, and dark chocolate notes. This wine is reminiscent of southern Rhône with its mineral aspects, wild Herbs de Provence, and lavender.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Bold and plump, with fresh, multilayered raspberry, licorice and fruitcake spices that fan out on a plush finish.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
Earthy and aromatic in garrigue, lavender and black licorice, it is thick and meaty, with a fruity underbelly of raspberry.
Jeb Dunnuck: 92 Points
Plums, blueberries, peppery herbs, and cedary spice notes all emerge from the 2018 Smoke & Mirrors, another charming, medium to full-bodied, pure, balanced wine in the lineup. It's already impossible to resist and there’s no need to delay gratification, although I see no reason it won't evolve for at least 4-6 years.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
The 2018 Smoke & Mirrors is made up of 60% Zinfandel, 28% Syrah, 6% Petite Sirah and 6% Grenache, made with 40% whole cluster and aged in neutral oak and concrete. It has a medium ruby color with soft red and black fruits and notes of tar, earth and dried flowers. The full-bodied palate is firm and earthy with a spicy finish.
