Lisa Perrotti-Brown: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Lynsolence (100% Merlot) slowly unfurls to reveal evocative notes of black cherry compote and blueberry pie, plus hints of menthol, licorice, and charcoal. The medium- to full-bodied palate has tight-knit black and blue fruit with a crisp backbone and fine-grained tannins, finishing fragrant. The alcohol is 14%."

James Suckling: A savory red, textured and lively yet structured. It’s medium-bodied with sinewy tannins. Focused with a serious character on the palate and a dense core of berries and spices toward the long, spicy finish."

The Wine Cellar Insider: Blackberries, coconut, black cherries, licorice, and violets create the aromatic profile. The palate is even better with its layers of sweet, ripe, juicy, fruity, salt-tinged berries and pit fruits. Elegant, lively, concentrated, and lush, there is an aromatic, minty freshness that adds to the chocolate-coated berries on the palate. The wine is produced from 100% Merlot. Drink from 2028-2047."

Jeb Dunnuck: Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Lynsolence offers up a beautiful nose of jammy black and blue fruits, graphite, savory herbs, and nicely integrated oak. It's 100% Merlot that's being raised 18 months in 55% new French oak. It's concentrated and medium to full-bodied on the palate, with firm yet balanced tannins and outstanding length. This estate has a lot of sand in the soils, but they've handled the water stress of the year nicely."

Vinum: Rauchige Noten, Kirsche, kühler Kamin; straffer Gaumen, fokussiert, die delikate Frucht wird von kalkigen Tanninen umgarnt, herbes, mineralisches Finale. Der Wein zeigt Biss und kann reifen."
