94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Another terrific wine, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve offers lots of blackcurrants, spice box, tobacco leaf, and chocolatey nuances to go with a full-bodied style on the palate. It has the 2018 vintage’s fresher, more elegant style yet brings ample fruit and has an expansive, layered mouthfeel as well as a great finish. It’s another wine to enjoy any time over the coming 15-20 years." (01/2021)

91 points Wine Enthusiast: "Focused aromas of boysenberry, light violet and lavender show on the nose of this bottling. The palate snaps with boysenberry, black-plum and tart elderberry flavors, with a hint of those purple flowers.

93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2017 Pinot Noir Central Coast comes from multiple vineyards throughout the Central Coast and has a touch of the elegance and purity found in the top cuvées. Impressive black raspberry fruits, white flowers, spice, and a subtle salty minerality all emerge from the glass, and it's beautifully textured, balanced, and just a joy to drink. It's well worth its going rate and should be snatched up by readers." (09/2020) 93 points Wine Enthusiast: "This blend from sites across the Central Coast carries all the expert hallmarks of th...
So, here's the scoop on this one, folks: Some grape growers take payment for their fruit in a variety of forms, and one of these is finished wine. So, the farmer sells the winemaker a given amount of fruit, and the winemaker in turn bottles some of the finished wine under the grower's own "house" label. The winemaker gets the fruit without much cash outlay (a great idea for a product that often takes two years to get to market) and the grape grower gets the expertise of the winemaker to create a wine for their own label. However, sometimes these growers ...

94 points Vinous: "Dark red. Suave, spice-accented aromas of raspberry preserves, pungent flowers, incense and cola, along with a hint of smoky minerality that builds with air. Plush and expansive on the palate, offering deeply concentrated red and blue fruit, allspice, vanilla and floral pastille flavors that are given spine by a core of zesty acidity. Shows superb definition and floral lift on a strikingly long, penetrating finish shaped by silky, slow-mounting tannins.

93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Notes of strawberries, spice-box, licorice, violets and dried herbs all emerge from this beauty, and it’s medium-bodied, silky and polished, with beautiful purity, solid mid-palate density and building depth and length. There’s just a little over 1,000 cases and is going to be a smoking value." (09/2017) 91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "A blend of 63% Grenache, 23% Carignan and 14% Syrah aged partially in demi-muids, the 2016 Maury Sec Serge & Nicolas (named after the estate manager and the winemaker) is a dark, broodin...
92 points James Suckling: "Plenty of savory aromas here with black olive, mushroom and oyster shell, layered with blackcurrant and tobacco leaf. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, sleek tannins. Structured and flavorful. " (12/2020) K&L Notes: The 2018 Red from Calculated Risk is left bank Bordeaux style blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Malbec, 20% Merlot from top sites across Napa Valley. It seriously over delivers for the money.

93 points Vinous: "The 2015 Syrah Kimsey Vineyard beautifully captures all the density and concentration that seems to come so naturally at this Ballard Canyon site. Dark and brooding, the 2015 has more than enough fruit to stand up to the potent tannins. I would give the 2015 at least another year or two in bottle to come around. This is an impressive showing from Potek. (AG)" (09/2018) 91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2015 Syrah Kimsey reveals aromas of ripe blackberry, tar, sweet spices and peony.

94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "One of the blockbusters in the vintage is unquestionably the 2015 Maury Sec Serge & Nicolas. Made from the usual blend of 60% Grenache, 28% Syrah and 12% Carignan that was brought up primarily in tank, it has awesome notes of blackberries, licorice, crushed rocks and violets. With off the charts purity, full-bodied richness and finely polished tannin, it’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face over the coming 5-7 years.

Full-bodied, concentrated, pure and incredibly elegant, this is a gorgeous red that will benefit from short term cellaring and keep for two decades or more.

(Decanter 2020 World Wine Awards)" (09/2020) 90 points Wine Enthusiast: "This is an enjoyable and approachable Cabernet that is blended with 23% Merlot. Black cherry, cassis and mocha highlight a soft, supple palate. It has a hint of dried herb on the finish. *Editors' Choice* (VB)" (05/2020) 90 points Wine Spectator: "Quite bold and ripe, this teeters a bit, with a prune note amid the cherry, raspberry and plum confit...
94 points Wine Enthusiast: "This is an absolute bargain
considered the level of quality and deliciousness
here. From the cool climes of North Canterbury, this
is on the robust side for the region. It bounces in
tones of tangy cranberry, baking cherry, clove, cinnamon and crushed mineral. The tannins are well
integrated, taut and sappy, allowing room for the
crunchy berry and warm spice notes to shine. " (02/2021) 93 points Bob Campbell: "Gently aromatic wine with bright cherry, crushed herb, anise, spice and nutty oak flavours. A supple, accessib...
94-96 points Jeb Dunnuck: "A blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Gravura shows the quality of the vintage with its purity and balance as well as classy notes of blackcurrants, cedar pencil, graphite, and violets. Medium to full-bodied, with both good acidity and plenty of tannins, it’s going to benefit from just short-term cellaring and have 15+ years of prime drinking."

The aromas are outrageous, with notes of fire pit, freshly peeled tangerine, potpourri, gravel, herb and peat. Pillowy-soft fruit and an olive brine note extend on the finish. The textured mouthfeel only heightens the appeal. *Editors' Choice* (SS)" (07/2019)

Rita Hills, is the flagship Pinot Noir of the estate and saw the standard 17 months in 15% new barrels. It's beautifully concentrated (which is a trait of this vineyard) with ample red currants, red cherries, spice box, forest floor, and crushed rock aromas and flavors. With medium to full body, a ripe, layered texture, good acidity, and sound underlying structure, it's going to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for 10-15 year...

92 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Readers looking for a smoking value in 2017 Cabernet should check out the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley from Emerson Brown.

93 points John Gilman: "As I noted last summer, the 2013 Sky Zinfandel is a first class bottle and every bit as fine an example of Mount Veeder terroir as those illustrious Cabernets made just up the hill at Mayacamas! The bouquet is pure, soil-driven and complex and shows just how serious this varietal can be in the right hands, as it wafts from the glass in a classy blend of black raspberries, spit-roasted game, fine mountain soil tones, cigar smoke and a panoply of exotic spice elements in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodie...

It's not, but it certainly needs more time, and will repay the patient in spades."

97 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2015 Champoux Vineyard is stunning, busting from the glass with a precocious bouquet of ripe cherries, minty blackberries, violets and anise. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and almost voluptuous, with velvety, melting tannins that frame a succulent core of beautifully delineated fruit. The finish is long and fragrant.
