The 2021 Red Westberg bursts from the glass with crushed raspberries and plums complemented by violet candies, baking spice and hints of clove. Seamlessly silky in character, the Westberg compensates with crisp red and blue fruits, all contrasted by hints of blood orange. It cleans up beautifully, tactile and long with a tinge of tart citrus and a savory herbal flourish over a coating of edgy tannins. This is zesty to the core yet with a balanced structure that should carry it for many years in the cellar. (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2024)

The 2021 Made, Herman Story's answer to a Super Tuscan, mixes rosy florals, earth tones, cedary spice and dried black cherries to create its darkly alluring bouquet. It blends ripe red fruits with minerals and zesty acidity, all cast across a stream of silk textures. This wine leaves a pleasantly bitter tinge to linger on, tapering off with subtle tannins and outstanding length. The 2021 is a beautiful mix of Italian varietals and a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon energized by Barbara acidity. (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2024)

The 2021 Plum Orchard is zesty with a remarkably pretty blend of sweet herbal tea, red plums and tangerine zest. Juicy upon entry, this Grenache/Mataro blend firms up quickly while maintaining an energetic persona. Tart red berry fruits are offset by a hint of sour citrus. It finishes long and staining, just gently tannic and pleasantly spicy. (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2024)

Vanilla bean and mocha come together with hints of kirsch and a peppery Cabernet Sauvignon flourish as the 2019 Isosceles forms up in the glass. This is pure elegance, velvety smooth yet energetic, with depths of ripe red and blue fruit that coast across the palate with ease. The Isosceles excels through its acidity, as the mouth waters throughout the long and dramatic finish. Gingery spices and hints of sweet blueberry preserves linger on. Well done. This is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot. (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2024)

Remarkably pretty, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon wafts up with an array of sweet violet florals, black cherries and the slightest trace of white pepper. This is soothingly soft and round yet energized by a core of zesty acidity that propels its tart wild berry fruits across the palate. It finishes long and gently tannic yet pleasantly fresh. A bitter tinge curls the tongue and keeps the mouth watering for more. (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2024)

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark and brooding, mixing dusty sage, currants and mocha with lifting hints of mint. This is texturally thrilling, silky, and nearly creamy in feel. A tinge of sour citrus, tart red and black fruits and graphite minerality add form toward the close. It firms up through the finish, classically structured and long. A pretty bitter sensation gives a fine punctuation to the experience. (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2024)

Darkly floral and intense, the 2021 Casual Encounters blends black raspberries with cedar shavings, tobacco, and exotic spice.
