Tasting NotesRobert Parker: 94 Points
The 2020 Vertigo is a blend of 47% Syrah, 32% Mourvedre, 9% Grenache, 7% Petite Sirah and 5% Tannat. Medium ruby-purple, it's slightly reticent on the nose, taking time to reveal blueberry and blackcurrant fruit with touches of dried herbs, tar and violet. The medium-bodied palate is lighter than expected with bright acidity, supple texture and a floral finish.

I loved the 2020 Vertigo, and it's one of the standouts in the lineup, which has been the case now for a number of years. Lots of cassis and assorted blue fruits as well as violets, graphite, and chocolate give way to a full-bodied, ripe, incredibly sexy barrel sample that has beautiful fruit. It seems free of smoke as well.

Deep and brooding nose with dark cherries, grilled meat. Slightly reductive, with flinty crushed stones, sweet dark cherries, cocoa powder. Crunchy, bright and juicy palate full of blue and black berries. Really tight but caressing. Drink now or hold.
