92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
The 2016 Red Wine The 24 is a blend of 35% Grenache, 33% Mourvèdre, 24% Syrah and 9% Malbec. Medium ruby-purple, it gives up scents of cassis, maraschino cherries, cedar, cigar wrapper and chargrill with nuances of violet, white pepper, graphite and a framing of new oak spice. The full-bodied palate is dense and lushly fruited with a firm but ripe frame and good freshness, finishing with that youthful new oak. Give this another year in bottle.
Winemaker Notes:
The 24 is a Rhone-style blend from Sonoma County comprised of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre with some Malbec thrown in for fun with a beautiful metal chronograph on the front that pays homage to the Rolex which times the thrilling 24-hour races at Daytona and Le Mans.
