jamessuckling.com, 93 points: An attractive array of brambly wild-cherry aromas lead to a palate that has a succulent, restrained and vibrantly elegant texture with juicy, lithe red cherries. Impressive structural detail. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Mouthfilling flavors of dark cherry, dried currant and raspberry tart are plush and loaded with spicy richness. Cream and white chocolate elements flood the long, rich finish, along with hints of forest floor and a subtle...

jebdunnuck.com, 98 points: Another gem that’s going to flirt with perfection in a decade is the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Rockfall Vineyard. Based on 100% Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon aged 20 months in 65% new French oak, its deep purple color...

jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: (96+ points) Sourced from two blocks as well (blocks 3 and block 11) and from more sandstone soils in the vineyard (which is the mother rock of the site), the 2016 Pinot Noir Mother Rock saw 20% stems and the same 15...

Vinous, 96 points: The 2016 Pinot Noir Golden Mean is a blend of Pommard and Swan clone Pinot, with Swan driving the wine's aromatic brilliance and lift. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, blood orange and mint are all beautifully lifted in the...

Vinous, 94 points: (91-94) The 2016 Grenache Rossi Ranch is another of the many highlights in this range. A host of red berry fruit and floral overtones fill out the wine's frame effortlessly. The purity of the flavors is simply striking...

Vinous, 94 points: (91-94) The 2016 Integral is 55% Syrah and 45% Mourvèdre. Vinification with 100% whole clusters of the Mourvèdre adds striking aromatic top notes. Rose petal, sage, mint and raspberry notes show terrific raciness in this...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2016 Pinot Noir Fog Veil has very pretty notes of cranberries, Bing cherries and pomegranate with touches of black pepper, lavender and cinnamon stick. Medium to full-bodied and...

jebdunnuck.com, 94 points: Also from the Sonoma Coast, the 2016 Pinot Noir Chenoweth Ranch is probably the lightest color Pinot Noir in the lineup, yet it still falls on the darker end of the spectrum. There are 944 cases of this beauty and it has...

Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: Juicy and velvety in texture, this wine shows a wealth of full-bodied oak and tannin up front that settles into lovely characteristics of rose petal, strawberry, rhubarb and forest floor. The finish is lengthy and robust.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Montana Vineyard (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) comes from a vineyard that contains more volcanic rock. Deep purple-black in color, it reveals slightly tarry notes to begin, soon opening out...

Vinous, 93 points: (93+ points) One of the many highlights in this range, the 2016 Pinot Noir Eastside Road Neighbors is going to need a few years in bottle to shed some of its formidable tannin. Powerful and yet also engaging, the 2016 is...
