"From head-trained vines more than 100 years old, the 2018 Zinfandel Jolene's Vineyard was aged in French oak, 28% new, for nine months. Medium garnet-purple colored, it opens with notions of blackberry pie, fruitcake, and plum preserves plus hints of Indian spices, sandalwood, and fragrant earth with a waft of black loam. Full-bodied, rich, spicy and chock-full of black and blue fruit, it has a chewy texture and loads of freshness, finishing with epic length. ." -LIsa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker The Wine Advocate, Jan 2021

"Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2017 Pinot Noir Muldune Trail reveals gregarious notions of raspberry tart, Morello cherries, wild blueberries, and lilacs plus nuances of cracked black pepper, baking spices, and root beer.  Medium-bodied, the palate delivers impressive elegance and energy with loads of restrained red fruit and earthy nuances, finishing long and plushly textured."  - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, February 2020

"This earthy wine is not loud on the nose in fruit tones, yet brings notes of mushroom, chalky, soot, and compost to the fore. It's tannic and dense on the palate, with a forest-floor character alongside notes of savory Asian spice and ripe red fruit." - Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, July, 2018

"The 2017 Chardonnay Sevens Bench Vineyard bursts with expressive green mango, guava, and apple pie scents plus suggestions of coriander seed, cedar chest, and pineapple tart. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is all class with lovely freshness defining the apple and tropical flavors, finishing on a spicy note. – Feb. 2020
