Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: (WE91-93 points) Barrel sample. Great, spicy new wood flavors are balanced by the intense, solid fruits and deep, almost brooding tannins. This is a big wine, but it still preserves a good sense of proportion.

Wine Spectator, 93 points: #47 Top 100 of 2007. Shows very flattering ginger and peach aromas, but tightens up quickly on the palate thanks to its nervy acidity, which keeps the quince, persimmon and marzipan notes in reserve. Superlong finish...

Wine Enthusiast, 98 points: Lightly baked and hinting at raisin and fine herbs, the bouquet on this benchmark Spanish red enfolds aromas of tobacco, moss and ripe tomato. In the mouth, it’s elegant and silky but also full and expansive. Flavors of...

Wine Spectator, 97 points: This has a deliciously pure feel with juicy inviting green plum ginger heather creamed pineapple and Jonagold apple flavors all melded together and gliding through the lengthy finish which echoes with lilting flowers and...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: This Barolo shows so much funky dried-flower and cedar character. It’s like going into a humidor, with tobacco and berry character. It’s full-bodied, with powerful tannins and a floral, berry and Spanish-cedar aftertaste...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 96 points: Vivid red. Black raspberry, blood orange and Asian spices on the expressive, hypnotically perfumed nose. Juicy, focused and floral, offering sweet red and dark berry flavors, a strong note of floral pastilles and a firm...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: Produced from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this balances ripe red berry and citrus fruits with more mature spice and vanilla. With this development has come depth, concentration and richness. It is a wine to drink with...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Editors' Choice. This is a well-aged, reserve-style sparkling wine that is one of California's best. It delivers abundant and distinctive flavors without losing its cool. The wine has attractively smoky, toasty and...

Wine Spectator, 91 points: Big and concentrated, with lots of plum and currant character. Full and chewy, with slightly aggressive tannins. Needs more age.--’95/’96 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2008. –JS
