This limited-production red wine has earned unanimous acclaim, including a perfect 100-point score from Jeb Dunnuck for its opulent depth and Old World elegance.

Critics’ Darling:
– Jeb Dunnuck (100 pts): “A monumental Grenache-driven blend echoing Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s La Crau, with explosive black raspberry, cassis, and garrigue notes layered over structured tannins.”
– Vinous (98 pts): “Glistening magenta hue with seductive aromas of creme de cassis, cherry-cola, and spicecake, finishing with silky precision.”
– Wine Advocate (95 pts): “Intense blackberry preserves and earthy complexity from 31 months in French oak (66% new) and amphorae—built for cellar aging.”

Why Collectors Choose Hexe 2016:
✔ Rare Terroir Expression: Sourced from limestone-rich vineyards in Paso Robles’ Willow Creek District, delivering concentrated minerality.
✔ Artisanal Aging: Unusual 17% amphora fermentation enhances texture while preserving vibrant fruit.
✔ Decade-Long Potential: At 15.7% ABV, this full-bodied red balances power with finesse—approachable now but will evolve beautifully through 2030+.
