VinoUS Media ReviewRated 92-94The 2021 Zinfandel Cedarman is a blend of Dragon and Rattlesnake, with a touch of Petite Sirah. It is once again one of my favorite wines in this vast range. Dark and sumptuous, with great density, the 2021 dazzles right out...

Wine Advocate ReviewRated 99The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard was aged in 70% new oak this vintage, as opposed to 100% as it normally is. Deep garnet-purple in color, it rolls out of the glass with perfumed rose hip tea, fragrant...

Wine Advocate ReviewRated 88-90SMART BUYAs for the lighter reds in the portfolio, there is the 2006 Charbono, one of the few made in California that merits attention. This wine shows nice notes of animal fur, pure berry fruit, a hint of jamminess, but...

James Suckling ReviewRated 98Aromas of crushed stone, oyster shell and blackcurrants. Cement. Full-bodied. Very muscular and strong in its tannin structure. Flexing. But they give a fine texture at the same time. Very toned. One for the cellar. Try after...

Wine Advocate ReviewRated 93The 2021 Zinfandel Old Vines has a medium ruby color and plush red and black cherries on the nose with accents of mushrooms, forest floor, savory spices and mint. The full-bodied palate is grainy and refreshing with generous...

The availability of this product is limited and subject to change.Wine Advocate ReviewRated 94Once again, I tasted the 2014 Termanthia, a selection from 120-year-old ungrafted vines that is heady, ripe and powerful, voluptuous and juicy, with lots of...

James Suckling ReviewRated 95A beautiful, soft-textured Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, showing currant, berry and black-cherry aromas with some floral and lavender undertones. It's full-bodied, yet balanced and refined. Super quality. Drink or hold...
