2014 Red Wine from North Coast

Vinous, 98 points: The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Golden Hill emerges from a single block on the estate planted with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Just as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel, the 2014 possesses remarkable finesse and...

Vinous, 95 points: 95+ Blankiet's 2014 Rive Droite Paradise Hills Vineyard is just as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel. Dark, rich and inviting, the 2014 wraps around the palate with pure sensuality and class. Dark stone...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Block 96 is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and a sensational effort from Somerston Estate. The wine has a sweet core of blackberry and cassis fruit, an opaque purple color, gorgeously integrated new...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: The evolution of this wine has been phenomenal since I tasted it in barrel a year ago with the same black cherry, plum and citrus character but with a turn to orange leaf, dark Chinese tea, and mushroom. Full body, fine...

Vinous, 94 points: The 2014 Belle Cousine is a Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Hyde. Dark, pliant and inviting, the 2014 opens with a compelling range of floral and savory aromatics. Dark cherry, plum, lavender, violet and licorice...

Vinous, 95 points: 95+ The 2014 Maya is powerful, compact and closed in on itself. That's not much of a surprise given the wine was just bottled a few months ago. Dark, powerful and intense, the 2014 offers plenty of energy, but is also...

jebdunnuck.com, 94 points: The 2014 Syrah Cuvée Christine comes from 100% Syrah sourced from the Kobler Vineyard in the Green Valley of Russian River and the Lawer Vineyard in Knight’s Valley. Seeing 30% stems and 21 months in one-third new French...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2014 Reserve Proprietary Red doesn’t have the structure of the 2013, but then few 2014s do. Nevertheless, what it lacks in structure and tannin it makes up for in its suppleness, wonderful succulence and fleshy...

Vinous, 94 points: Morlet's 2014 Pinot Noir Coteaux Nobles is dark, vibrant and polished. The flavors are wonderfully nuanced. In 2014, the Coteaux Nobles offers its typically profile of dark red stone fruit and spices, but with an extra...

Vinous, 95 points: The 2014 Pinot Noir Joli Coeur offers a super-appealing interplay of juicy dark red cherry and raspberry flavor, with striking inner sweetness and lifted aromatics. Dense, pliant and voluptuous, the 2014 is exceptionally...

Vinous, 93 points: Vineyard 29's 2014 Cabernet Franc is terrific. Mocha, espresso, red cherry and plum are all woven together in this striking, beautifully layered wine. There is plenty of the estate's signature richness. The flavors are...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: (94+ points) Probably the most backward of all the wines, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve certainly has its own charm, but it does show more oak tannin. It is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, and at 213 cases, one of their...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The top wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and is simply called Gandona. The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Gandona is aged 21 months in 81% new oak and there are about 400 cases of the 2014, which is a beautiful wine offering...

Wine Enthusiast, 90 points: Tart and tangy in underlying acidity, this elegant red offers a mix of dried herb, tobacco leaf and red currant, showing subdued ripeness within a context of elongated polished tannin and well-integrated oak. VIRGINIE BOONE

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2014 Terra Gratia is a slightly different blend of 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 9% Petit Verdot. For whatever reason, this wine comes across as a slightly denser, more substantial wine...

jebdunnuck.com, 92 points: This is last vintage for this cuvée, as the vineyard was purchased by an investment company and is seeing a change in pricing. The 2014 Pinot Noir Platt Vineyard offers outstanding notes of strawberries, spice, framboise...
