93 Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

“Nativ’s 2011 Taurasi is an opulent expression with dark garnet hues and beautiful intensity on the bouquet. Dark fruit, dried blackberry, plum and licorice segue seamlessly to Spanish cedar, dark vanilla bean and Indian spice. The wine wears its oak element in heavy layers, but it does so comfortably. This is a modern rendition of Taurasi with great tannic management, soft fruit flavors and big power. The wine makes a positive impact on all the senses.” - M.L. (Apr 2015)
