2019 Petit Verdot / 92 Points / Oded Cohen
Byjuliek
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel and a teeth staining color. The mix of black and red fruits is very interesting. Tangy and rich. Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. Drinking very nicely now, and will continue to age in the next 5 to 7 years.
2009 Cabernet a Great Wine in Fredric Koeppel’s look back at 2020

I don’t usually encounter such wines anyway.

2015 Petite Sirah / 94 Pts / Wine Review Online
A sturdy but approachable Petite Sirah that is more than worthy of your cellar. Blackberry, bold wood spice, firm grip and a long finish where the fruit shines through – it’s a classic tale that fans of the grape will recognize. Bravo! A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
2015 Petite Sirah / 90 Pts / International Wine Review
The Petite Sirah offers lively, fresh aromas and flavors of spicy boysenberry, black cherry and herbs. It’s silky on the attack with a chewy density on a fruit driven, richly flavored palate. Finishes with firm, round but somewhat dry tannins.
