• Wine Enthusiast September Buying Guide - 2008 Chardonnay
  85 points - "Lots of rich pineapple, buttered toast, vanilla and cinnamon spice flavors in this Chard. It’s made in an uncomplicated style to appeal to consumers who have made this kind of Chardonnay the most popular wine in America. — S.H. (9/1/2010) — 85"


• Wine Enthusiast September Buying Guide - 2007 Zinfandel

• Wine Enthusiast September Buying Guide - 2008 Merlot
  82 points - Sharp in acids and jammy, this simple, everyday Merlot offers raspberry, cherry, anise and spice flavors that finish slightly sweet. — S.H. (9/1/ 2010) — 82 "

Wine Advocate, February 2010. Drink now through 2012 - $12 - Robert Parker"


• Wine Advocate Robert Parker Review of our 2008 Chardonnay 87 points - "A terrific value, the 2008 Chardonnay offers attractive melony, buttery citrus, and tropical fruit characteristics as well as a hint of minerality. Elegant, fresh, and medium-bodied, it tastes far better than its humble price suggests. Best consumed in the first 1-2 years of life. Wine Advocate, February 2010. Drink now through 2012 - $12 - Robert Parker"

• Wine Advocate Robert Parker Review of our 2007 Zinfandel 87 points - "An excellent bargain for Zinfandel, the 2007 reveals a medium dark ruby color as well as lots of spicy, peppery, berry fruit, wild strawberry, earth, and spice notes. It is an authentic tasting, solidly made Zinfandel that is hard to beat for the price. Best consumed in the first 1-2 years of life. Wine Advocate, February 2010. Drink now through 2012 - $12 - Robert Parker"
