"The density of this wine is impressive. It brings out generous black fruits and a structure that, while cushioned by the richness, are very ageworthy. The wine's future is assured. Drink from 2025. -RV"

96 The Tasting Panel

Fine-grained tannins are reminiscent of melted dark chocolate. Violets sprout on the seamless and streamlined midpalate, whose mouthfeel is akin to a velvet robe. The juicy dénouement is rich in blackberry ganache.

95 Decanter

A flourish of fragrant florals, ripe strawberries and red cherries which exude varietal character. Precise and taut with a bracing acidity and long savoury, salt-infused finish.

91 Joaquín Hidalgo - Vinous Media

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Vitis Única originates from the Casablanca Valley. Aged for 10 months in French foudres, this cherry-hued wine reveals aromas of hops, orange peel and sour cherry. Dry and silky on the palate, it offers a warm mouthfeel with a light-bodied expression. It's a delicate, herbal Pinot Noir."

90 Wine Enthusiast

"Delicate spicy notes of nutmeg and clove captivate the senses on the nose of this vibrant Pinot Noir. Hailing from granitic soils in the Casablanca Valley, this wine offers earthy strawberry and raspberry flavors accented by thyme. A dash of cardamom and nutmeg lengthen the finish. It's firm and fresh, a perfect wine for grilled fish." — Jesica Vargas

The 2021 Granito del Cadalso has more fruit and is rounder, more approachable-looking, from locations in the valley that deliver that profile. It fermented mostly in concrete vats, destemmed and with indigenous yeasts, and had an élevage in concrete of approximately six months. It has notes of red berries and herbs, with purity and a gentle mouthfeel through very fine, chalky tannins. 4,800 bottles were filled in April 2022.

Briary red fruit aromas blend seamlessly with notes of violets and cedar to give the impression of a raspberry coulis served in the garden. Beautifully balanced acidity and tannins, with restrained alcohol, makes it so easy to sip the night away on the pure, distilled essence of marionberries, along with a bit of sage

94 Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Varietally expressive and enticing, showing blackcurrant, tobacco, clove and cedar aromas, followed by a splendidly weighted palate offering succulent fruit intensity with refined texture and finely pitched tannins. Wonderfully structured with harmony and persistency. At its best: now to 2034.

2023 DEEVO Red Blend is the acronym of the 5 people that together made the blend. This is tradition at Long Cellars and is done every year. The acronym is different every year but it is designed to be one of the best wines each vintage. The team (friends, colleagues, wine club members) work hard to find the best possible blend using 6 Bordeaux varietals. The masculine dark red has considerable depth of flavor and rich but structured texture. With the backbone consisting of 50% Petit Verdot, it's no wonder it finishes with firm tannins for a long finish. But the almost equal parts Cabernet and Malbec and a hint of Carmenere soften and balance the wine, giving it delicious layers of flavor and a robust mouth feel. This blend has both muscle and beauty, and will especially appeal to those who appreciate darker style Old World wines such as a well-made young Bordeaux. Expect notes of dark chocolate, espresso, blackberry, and cassis, with refined but very present tannins for a long dry finish.Sourced from Quintessence & Boushey Vineyards. 95 cases produced.

96 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Deerheart Vineyard is a new wine in this range. It offers up copious dark cherry/plum fruit along hints of dried herbs, flowers, mint and spice that lend nuance. Bright acids and veins of supporting tannin lend energy throughout. This deep, mid-weight Pinot has a ton to offer. Aeration is essential here."

95 Wine Enthusiast

"Polished layers of black raspberry, toasted herb and wild mountain mint coalesce into a wondrously inviting and complex nose on this bottling. The palate presents waves of baked strawberry, bay leaf and peppercorn as acidity creeps slowly in and then lingers long into the flavorful finish. -MK"

92 Wine Enthusiast

Fruit forward yet balanced by sweet spices, savory accents and a finish of sweet cocoa. This Cabernet Sauvignon delivers pleasure and persistence in an approachable frame.

94 The Real Review

A blend of cabernet sauvignon 53%, merlot 35% and cabernet franc 12%. Vinous rather than fruity with chocolate/mocha, dark berry, cedar and petrichor (rain on hot asphalt) flavours. A complex wine with rich, ripe tannins.

94 Wine Enthusiast

Imagine the silkiest thing you can think of. Now magnify it times ten. That is how silky smooth and elegant this Pinot Noir is. Rainier cherry, leather, and cedar aromas set the tone, followed by dark raspberry and black tea flavors. There's plenty of acidity here, and the tannins are as velvety as a lounge singer's crushed velour jacket. The wine's finish is nice and long. Eventually, with air time, your patience will be rewarded as flavors of mocha and cardamom arrive on the scene.

93 Joe Czerwinski - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Gandona's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Encosta features scents of crushed stone and pencil shavings layered atop ripe plums and black cherries. While it's full-bodied, with some grainy tannins, it's not unapproachable, with a long, dusty-textured finish. For those keeping track of the minutia, it was aged in two-thirds new French oak and there's a tiny proportion (less than 2% in aggregate) of other grape varieties: Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Previous vintages are still on the market for around $100, so this may be the rare affordable bottling from Pritchard Hill (1,050 cases produced)."

94 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Ripe dark and blue fruit with walnuts, pine wood and hints of seashell and iodine. Firm and structured with full body and slightly tight but very fine tannins. Compact and layered on the palate with a very long and deep finish. Drink or hold.

95 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Complex, mineral and layered, showing peach-peel and yellow-grapefruit aromas with ferns and earthy minerality. Tingling and electric on the palate with medium body, crisp acidity and a long, savory and focused finish. Very good. Drink now.
