wine enthusiast 95 pts"Brian Loring’s bottling of this vineyard planted by Gary Pisoni and Gary Franscioni is bursting with raspberry syrup, cola and peppercorns on the nose. The palate boasts notes of strawberry juice, red berries and hibiscus. It’s luxurious and sexy. - Matt Kettmann"

vinous logo 250"Brilliant ruby. Vibrant and precise on the nose and in the mouth, displaying intense blackberry liqueur, floral pastille and allspice scents and suggestions of anise, vanilla and woodsmoke. Sweet, broad and seamless in texture, with a spine of juicy acidity adding structure and lift. The powerful, clinging finish features velvety tannins and echoes of candied flowers and dark berries.- Josh Raynolds"

wine enthusiast 92 pts"Stash this one in the cellar unil 2019 or 2020. Tasted in January 2014, it's tannic, tart in acidity and enormously rich in red cherry jam, pomegranate and persimmon fruit flavors, enriched with sweet, smoky oak. A real beauty from this well-respected vineyard. - SH"
