"Bone dry, with brisk tannins, this is a Merlot to drink with good food and not worry about the wine overshadowing it. It’s really drinkable, with a soft, lush mouthfeel and flavors of cherries, currants, spices and cedar."

90 points - Publisher's Pick
"Rich, full-flavored and fruit-forward; juicy with body and streamlined tannins; nice, nuanced vanilla and a holiday pie melding of nutmeg, cinnamon and clove."

2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, Central Coast

88 points - Editors' Choice
"Very nice for the price. Dry and smooth, with blackberry, cherry, cola and currant flavors that have a scoury mouthfeel, because of the tannins. Lots of class and even some complexity."

"This dense red's ripe flavors edge toward prune. A match for barbecue."

"A good, rugged Petite Sirah, with the bigtime fruit and heavy tannins the variety is known for. Just bursts across the palate with blackberries, plums, cassis and peppery, leathery notes."

GOOD PAIRING with Cantonese Roast Goose

GOOD PAIRING with Fujian Egg & Flour Oyster Omelet
- 2011 Perfect Pairing Awards, Singapore

89 points - Editors' Choice
"This would be a wonderful wine even if it cost a little more. As it is, it’s a steal. Shows refined apricot, peach, lychee, mineral and floral flavors, finished with brisk, mouthwatering acidity, and an absolutely dry finish. One of the best Riesling values available in Cailfornia, and a tremendous cocktail wine. Just 600 cases were produced."

2007 Riesling, Monterey

90 points - Editor's Choice
"A beautiful Riesling, perfect for a cocktail or with a wide range of fare. Bone dry and richly acidic, it shows true varietal flavors of citrus, honeysuckle, diesel or lighter fluid, minerals and gardenia flower. This is is a wine that sommeliers should scoop up, but only 450 cases were produced."
