ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 99 POINTS - "Deep, bright-hued purple. Highly seductive raspberry liqueur, blueberry, exotic spice, potpourri and incense aromas are complemented by hints of musky herbs and smoky minerals. Juicy, seamless and energetic in the mouth, offering densely packed, wonderfully concentrated red/blue fruit preserve, cherry cola, spice-cake, licorice and candied lavender flavors that show superb delineation and vibrant back-end lift. Finely polished tannins lend shape to a strikingly persistent, penetrating finish that shows intense, mineral- and spice-driven tenacity. "
JEB DUNNUCK 96 POINTS - "Mostly Grenache blended with 14% Mataro and 8% Syrah, the 2017 James Berry Vineyard Rocket Block offers an exotic style in its kirsch and mulberry fruits as well as notes of candied orange, toasted spice, herbes de Provence, and white pepper aromas and flavors. Full-bodied and beautiful on the palate, with silky tannins, a fresher, elegant texture, and a fabulous finish, it will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and keep over a decade. I don't think it matches the 2015 and 2016, but it's still a stunning wine."
