Red Wine from Central Coast

jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: The 2017 My Favorite Neighbor is also terrific and I suspect would cost 2-3 times its going rate if it was from Napa Valley. It's also the more elegant, perfumed, red-fruited release compared to the darker fruited Harvey...

Wine Enthusiast, 96 points: Extremely dense in the glass, this epic bottling offers lavish and penetrating aromas of black currant and elderberry jam on the nose alongside seared beef, chocolate cake and a pinch of violet. Expertly balanced...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Viscous and dark in the glass, this wine's unctuous nose shows black currant, violet and a hint of hot asphalt. The blend of 50% Syrah, 25% Grenache, 18% Mourvèdre and 7% Petite Sirah is tight on the palate, where a tarry...

jebdunnuck.com, 94 points: Moving to the wines from bottle and starting with the 2016 Optimus, which is always a great introduction into the wines of this estate, it’s a blend of 50% Syrah, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Petit Verdot that spent 14...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Bottled mid-March 2017 and a blend of 60% Syrah, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Petit Verdot, the 2015 Optimus has a deep garnet-purple color and nose of crushed black currants, black cherries and black raspberries with...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Composed of 38% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache, 23% Syrah and 9% Counoise, the 2015 Oublie has a medium garnet-purple color and earth-scented nose of tar, sautéed herbs and fertile loam with a core of red currants, cranberry...

jebdunnuck.com, 97 points: One of the gems in the lineup is the 2016 Sticks and Stones, which is 74% Grenache, 19% Syrah, and 7% Mourvèdre. Seamlessness and elegance are the buzzwords here, and this beauty offers a kaleidoscope of black...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Another sensational red is the 2013 Veracity Proprietary Red, which is mostly Grenache blended with 34% Mourvedre and 17% Syrah. Aged in 32% new barrels, its ruby color is followed by classic notes of black raspberries...

jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: The GSM blend of the estate the checks in as 66% Grenache, 18% Mourvèdre and 16% Syrah (more Grenache than normal), the 2014 Veracity offers a classic Paso nose of sexy, ripe black fruits, melted licorice, charcoal and...

jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: The Zinfandel-based 2016 Outsider gives up complex, textbook notes of sweet red and black fruits, cedarwood, white pepper, and incense. This is a classic Zinfandel that carries loads of fruit and richness yet stays light...

Vinous, 96 points: The 2015 El Desafio de Jonata, the estate's Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend, is dense, powerful and super-expressive, with tremendous textural richness and thrust. Still very, very young, the 2015 is going to need at least...

jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: The amount of black, blue, and red fruit from Matt Trevisan’s 2017 Sticks And Stones just about knocks you over, and it opens up with time in the glass to show beautiful ground pepper, flowery incense, and spice-laced...
