91 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine (2008 vintage):
"From a producer to watch in underrated Lodi, this intense, black cherry, bacon-fat and white peppery Syrah has an almost peat-like, whisky aroma at first, very inviting, which then leads into more bacon and pepper that carries through on the palate, balanced by extremely smooth tannins and an unexpected elegance. A really cool Syrah to try on its own that’ll go very nicely with meaty, wintery foods." —V.B.  (3/1/2011) 

91 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine (2007 vintage):
"Smooth, rich and complex, showing tiers of ripe plum, blackberry and wild berry, with notable cedary dill- and vanilla-laced oak. But this is very nicely proportioned, ending with a long, lingering finish. Drink now through 2015. 3,500 cases made." -JL (2/28/2010)
