"Very lively, bright and crunchy with some raspberry, redcurrant and strawberry. A juicy palate, with floral, perfume and vibrancy. Stylish, crunchy and lengthy."

"A brilliant bottle of wine in the making, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard comes from a historic valley floor site and is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that's still aging in 90% new barrels. Ripe blue fruits, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and gravelly earth are just some of its nuances, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, building tannins, and a great finish. It's a serious bottle of wine that will warrant a minimum 4-5 years of bottle age."

95 Lisa Perrotti-Brown - The Wine Independent

"Deep garnet-purple in color, the single-varietal 2021 Beckstoffer Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon leaps with classic scents of plum preserves and creme de cassis plus nuances of graphite, cedar, and menthol. The full-bodied palate is rich and plush, with just enough freshness and a good long finish. Drinking: 2026-2046"

The 2022 Syrah Poor Ranch Vineyard, from a site in Mendocino, is terrific. Black pepper, lavender, mint, plum and blueberry are beautifully delineated. This classy, mid-weight Syrah is impeccable in its balance of cool-climate savoriness and a mid-weight structure.

Opulent, crushed red plums, raspberry, red currant, blood orange, Freesia blossoms on the nose. Juicy red plum, black plum, black cherry, Earl Grey tea, ginger-spiced huckleberry sliding into white pepper and grippy tannins rounding back to crushed red plums. Pair with Peking duck.

"A blend of Colorino and Sangiovese with tiny parts of the white grapes Trebbiano and Malvasia, this is a powerful and balanced expression. For authenticity and personality, the 2015 Bibbianaccio pokes some fun at the 100% Sangiovese wines of the appellation by introducing the other indigenous grapes found in this cheerful blend. It presents wild cherry and rose with tilled earth and powdered licorice and would be a pleasant pairing with grilled meat and vegetables."

91 Wine Spectator

"Fading cherry and strawberry flavors are flanked by woodsy, wild herb and pine notes. There's a sweet core of fruit, along with oak spice. Tips slightly toward the tannins, but this is hitting its peak now. Complex and old-school. Sangiovese, Colorino, Malvasia Bianca and Trebbiano. Drink now through 2028. 180 cases made, 28 cases imported."

"The 2018 Saar Riesling Kabinett is beautifully clear and flinty on the attractively reductive and floral nose. On the palate, this is enormously mineral, salty and super tensioned Riesling with just 7.5% alcohol and a sweetness (68 grams per liter) that you don’t taste due to the salty-piquant and mineral finish. This is a stellar Kabinett and Riesling that freaks shouldn’t miss. How stimulating and mouthwatering! The grapes were sourced between September 23 and 25 from roughly 30-year-old vines in Niedermennig, Obermennig, Krettanch and Oberemmel and came in at 83° Oechsle. 26,000 bottles produced. A picture-book Kabinett. Tasted from AP 01 19 in June 2019."

Proving that not only single vineyards can make great wine, this outstanding offering entices with forest floor, black tea, herb and cherry compote flavors. It's full-bodied, laced with fine-grained tannins, expansive in mouthfeel and long-lasting on the finish.

92 Josh Raynolds - Vinous Media

Dark Scarlet. Ripe red fruit, floral, and baking spice qualities on the expressive nose. Juicy black raspberry, cherry cola and spice cake flavors show fine clarity and are underscored by a vein of juicy acidity. Puts on weight with air and finishes long and spicy, with a touch of mocha and smooth, even tannins adding subtle grip.

90 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Aromas of overturned earth, coriander and wild blackberries. Medium-to full-bodied with plenty of tasty savory character. Fine, slightly chewy tannins. Black tea and forest herbs on the palate. Drink now.

90 Decanter

Minty aromas with notes of black plums, blackberry, green bell pepper and leather, framed by spicy oak nuances. Tangy acidity.

92 Bob Campbell - The Real Review

Mellow rosé made from 100% merlot with peaches and cream, cherry and strawberry flavours. Smooth-textured wine in an off-dry style. Serve well chilled. Delicious wine

91 Bruce Sanderson - Wine Spectator

Dark black cherry, blackberry, plum, eucalyptus, earth and iron flavors are embraced by beefy tannins in this red, which comes together on the lingering finish. Sangiovese and Merlot. Best from 2023 through 2030. 3,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.

92 International Wine Report

The 2020 Rive de Malva Saint-Joseph delivers aromas of black raspberries and bramble fruit, which is woven together with spices, pepper, wet stones, lavendar and hints of licorice. On the palate this with nicely balanced with medium body that is wrapped in a silky tannins which continues to impress all the way through the racy finish. A lovely wine to approach now, but should become even more compelling after some short-term cellaring.

92 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

A very good introduction to this appellation. Quite a complex nose of black pepper, smoke and blackberry with a hint of leather. The palate is medium-bodied but focused and energetic, the gentle tannin already well integrated, the finish long and clean. Drink or hold.

90 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

A fresh and fruity white with a crisp, minerally palate. It shows notes of fruit, citrus peel and crushed stones on the nose. Medium-bodied with crunchy acidity and a flavorful aftertaste. Drink now.

Slightly more expensive, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon comes all from the Reynoso Vineyard in the Alexander Valley and spent 20 months in 70% new French oak. More backward and closed, it still has plenty of depth and purity in its ripe blackcurrant fruits and spicy, tobacco, mineral-laced aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, concentrated, and powerful on the palate, it has a solid core of tannins, a great mid-palate, and the depth and structure to benefit from short-term cellaring and keep for 20-25 years. As is common with a number of top Cabernets from Sonoma, it shows more minerality and an almost Bordeaux-like character with air. This is beautifully done.
