96 Robert Parker Wine Advocate
"Consistently one of my favorites in the Torbreck lineup, this year's version, the 2017 Descendant, was co-fermented with 8% Viognier and spent 18 months in barrel. It's full-bodied, rich and decadent, delivering what Torbreck lovers expect in its dark-fruited layers of opulence. Suffused with hints of Mexican chocolate, it finishes long and softly dusty." (11/2019) 95 Wine Spectator
"Lush and juicy, this red balances elegance and power, showing aromatic wild blackberry, blueberry, white pepper and Earl Grey tea notes. Cocoa, dried lavender and black licorice hints linger on the finish, wrapped up in polished, velvety tannins." (11/2020)
