9/3/2017 - Russocaster Likes this wine: 90 pointsDark, shinny, opaque juice from Santa Lucia Highlands. Concentrated black fruit with a huge black pepper overtone. Licorice and spices are also present. Good length. Allow it to breathe at least half-hour before serving. Recommended |

10/24/2017 - scotty_b wrote: 92 pointsBig wine with a killer flavor profile of bacon, leather, pepper, blueberry, blackberry, and purple Razzles. I've become a massive fan of Gary's vineyard over the years, having tasted pinots produced by Morgan, Loring, and Miner. This vineyard has some distinctive qualities that seem to jump out regardless of the producer and the varietal. |

2/8/2015 - JC Cab wrote: 89 pointsBig red fruit from the glass along with some spice...hint of white pepper. Black cherry, boysenberry, toasted oak and hint of vanilla on the palate. Tannins still moderate but integrated with medium plus alcohol. Long finish with the return of the white pepper nuance. Pretty big wine that can still age but drinking nicely now. |

3/23/2014 - Alv3sachan Likes this wine: 93 pointsWhoa, a big fruit bomb of blackberries and plum. Huge fruit on the nose and palate. Tannins provided a nice, smooth structure. Nice wood, oak on the finish. Great mouth feel with a long, long finish. Nice stuff. |

12/26/2016 - John McCabe wrote: 94 pointsThis has improved again over the last few years. This now has more weight, more excitement and more precision. It's altogether more serious and expressive. There is spice, but nothing over-done, there's some racy intensity of red and black fruit. This is a great example of a wine that shines with more age; I was a bit disappointed when I tasted this in previous years, but this is so much more virile and decadent now vs. before. It's amazing the difference a couple of years can make. This may be better still in two years - a bit more softness could make this better still. |

12/27/2013 - John McCabe wrote: 93 pointsThis has improved since I had it a year ago. The dry, white pepper backbone is there but more fruit is showing, balancing things out. Quite imposing. Showing well now but will likely show better still with more time. |
