Vinous: "Sweet red cherry, tobacco, mint, leather and spice give this mid-weight Pinot a good bit of nuance and complexity throughout. (AG)" (07/2018) K&L Notes: With every new release of Banshee we become more and more impressed with just how dedicated to quality these three young men and their team are. This year sees the Banshee family of wines moving their production into a new winemaking facility in Sonoma, adding even more well-known, "name brand" vineyards into their mix and fleshing out their already robust amount of releases with a few new gem ...Read More »

Sauvignon Blanc is nothing new to the Banshee portfolio, as the lucky trio who scored a surprise success with their initial, 8-barrel lot of coveted Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir (that they purchased by the gallon and turned around in five weeks flat) launched a Sauvignon Blanc label the very next year. We're big fans of the Banshee wines, and suggest that you snap up a bottle or two of the 2017 while it's here.

90 points Vinous: "The 2015 Red Blend Mordecai is a terrific example of something Banshee often does so well: craft delicious, value-priced wines with healthy production numbers that makes them relatively easy to find. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are at the core of this juicy, plump red. Drink it over the next few years. (AG)" (07/2018) K&L Notes: Winery Notes: "The very rough and unscientific formula is this: about a third Bordeaux varieties, about a third Rhone varieties, and about a third other varieties dominated by Zinfandel with a bit of of this ...Read More »

Banshee started in 2009 when three wine industry buddies made a gamble and bought eight barrels of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir - a gamble that paid off when they were able to sell all the wine within five weeks. Since then, they've developed relationships with some of the best growers in the area and have been producing beautiful wines with winemakers Ross Cobb (Hirsch, Flowers, Williams-Selyem) and Katy Wilson (Larue, Flowers). The 2016 coastal Chardonnay comes from a variety of vineyards in the Sonoma Coast, including both Heintz and Bohemian. Notes from ...Read More »

91 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Vivid red. A heady, exotically perfumed bouquet evokes fresh red berries, potpourri, anise and smoky minerals. On the palate, intense redcurrant and bitter cherry flavors flesh out and gain sweetness and spiciness with air, picking up a rose pastille flourish on the way. Finishes on a zesty mineral note, with echoing red fruit and smoke notes and excellent persistence. " (06/2014) K&L Notes: Gaining fame as blenders, the Banshees are making their own lots from choice vineyards, like Tina Marie, ...Read More »

91 points Vinous: "The 2014 Pinot Noir Marine Layer is a selection of the best barrels in the cellar. Mid-weight yet tightly wound, the 2014 is going to need time, as it was just bottled. As opposed to most wines made from a barrel selection, the Marine Layer is blended with the ideal of looking for the most lifted and ethereal barrels in the cellar. As such, the wine is really built on energy, precision and length as opposed to size. The long, salivating finish just adds to the wine's considerable appeal. Ross Cobb and Katy Wilson make restrained, delic ...Read More »

With every new release of Banshee we become more and more impressed with just how dedicated to quality these three young men, and the team around them, are. Winemaker's notes: "White peach, citrus, and apricot blossom aromas unfold onto the palate with blood orange, rhubarb and pomegranate flavors. Lively acidity with great tension and verve with a chalky, saline quality. A diverse blend of 38% Grenache, 26% Barbera, 24% Syrah & 12% Pinot Noir, the 2017 Rose from Banshee is whole cluster pressed with minimal skin contact. The components were fermented se ...Read More »
