James Suckling: 93 Points
"This is from a 50-year-old parcel, made as a low-sulphur project and fermented in large vats. The nose has a rich blood-orange and dark-raspberry fruit core with a striking red-licorice edge and a soft, pillowy texture, full of raspberry and red-cherry fruit. Whole berries, no stalks. Fluid and so drinkable. Screw cap."

"Screw cap has allowed me to back right away from sulfur. We’ve halved what we’re doing in reds." explains Steve Pannell. The fruit for the 2020 Basso Grenache (pronounced like "bah-so" for those wondering) is from a 50-year-old vineyard with black soils. The wine is crunchy, bright and floral, with a mineral, saline undertow. No whole bunch here. Drink it young to capture all the energy and vitality."
Vinous Media: 90 Points
"The young and bold 2020 Garnacha Basso is a Joven early drinking style with attitude. It boasts generous layers of primary fruit, including black cherry and old leather with a dark earthy backbone. A great hit of flavor follows that is distinctly spicy. The finish is generous and open open-knit with a granitic minerality. It's a well-pitched food style designed for early consumption."
