Last Year EP $218.00-

2023 is 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc.

Wow. This is really structured and sizzling with dark fruit, such as blackberries and blueberries. Salty, racy aftertaste. The tannins are energetic and so long, driving the wine through an almost endless finish. Lots of old vines used for this.
98-99 James Suckling.

Rich and gourmand, the 2023 Hosanna wafts from the glass with aromas of ripe berries, baked red fruits and cherries, framed by hints of fresh mint and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's a rich, textural wine with a ripe core of slightly liqueured fruit, supple tannins and a long, vanillin-inflected finish.
92-94 William Kelley, Wine Advocate.

The 2023 Hosanna has quite a rambunctious bouquet with plenty of black fruit, fig and touches of dark chocolate, curiously reminiscent of some of the early vintages of Hosanna. Maybe a little trop? The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins and fine acidity. It's very pure and, in my view, demonstrates more panache and sophistication than the aromatics at this juncture. I really appreciate the finish, and I just hope the aromatics gain more composure during élevage. In that case, it will deserve a higher score.
90-92 Neal Martin.

Medium-plus intensity, dark plum, richly textured, coffee bean, espresso, plum, tobacco, liquorice root, plenty of complexity, welcome flashes of slate and mint leaf, touch of tar with brings things to a quicker finish than usual.
93 Jane Anson.

The 2023 Hosanna is a classic wine from this property. Rich, ample and explosive, the 2023 offers up copious dark-toned fruit, mocha, new leather, liquorice and chocolate notes. As always, Hosanna is marked by its textural breadth, volume and dark flavour profile conferred by old vines planted in the mid 1950s.
The 2023 is a fine example.
95-97 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
