For a winemaker to take a varietal and make it have such solid notes with the blend is commendable. This was a nice surprise. — 10 years ago

For the 2012 Vindemia Estate Cabernet, Vindemia never disappoints. Even with a young wine, it is fine tuned with a balance between peppery notes and fruit. Balance from beginning to finish. — 10 years ago

Very drinkable. Not a very strong nose, but the palette is solid...not hot, not jammy, but the flavor is right "there". Mature wine for its age. — 10 years ago

2010 is not as rewarding after enjoying the 2009. It may need to age a little longer. Full body. Fruit forward. — 10 years ago

Not normally drawn to a Syrah but this is a phenomenal wine. Vanilla notes on the front end, a hint of pepper on the mid-palate, and a lingering wet finish. — 10 years ago
