Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: The 2013 Red Blend Mernet Reserve, Keenan's Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon blend is striking. Like so many wines in this vintage, however, it probably won't be ready to drink for a number of years. Still, there is an...

Vinous, 92 points: Andy Erickson's Leviathan is gorgeous once again in 2013. Plump, juicy and forward, the 2013 packs a serious punch. Still it is impossible not to notice that this year Leviathan is made in a more aromatic, lifted style...
