"Chewy, nicely focused and appealing, with ripe black cherry and licorice flavors that dance deftly on the finish."

"This beautiful, hand-harvested effort reveals clean notes of poached pears, honeyed citrus and tropical fruit. Medium-bodied with loads of fruit as well as purity, a beautiful texture, and a subtle note of wood, it will provide plenty of pleasure if consumed over the next year."

"Complex and vibrant aromas of red plum, anise, cherry, violets, and tobacco accentuated by notes of black currant, dried herbs, toasted oak, and cocoa. Elegant and supple texture on the palate make the frame for generous flavors of sweet plum and dark cherry, with notes of vanilla and mocha. Silky tannins and well-integrated structure tie together and linger in the finish."

"On the nose there are dark berry notes and spicy notes from oak aging. The wine drinks of juicy blackberry, ripe plums and a touch of blueberry. Generous in fruit flavors, plenty of structure and a velvety finish."

"The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis is laced with sweet red berries, plums, flowers, mint and cloves. It is an attractive, medium-bodied wine to drink over the next decade plus, once the tannins begin to soften. Today the 2010 is a bit compact. The Artemis is made from both estate and purchased fruit."

"Open-textured, velvety and appealing for the rhubarb pie-accented currant and floral flavors, lingering on the expressive finish against fine tannins."

"It offers notes of black currants, licorice, cedar wood and spice. Drink it over the next several years." -Robert Parker

"This lighter style Chardonnay is fresh and vibrant with bright apple and pear aromas coupled with a hint of coconut. Flavors of orchard fruits are accented by nuances of citrus and toasty oak, ending with a juicy, crisp finish. Intended for immediate enjoyment, this Chardonnay captures the varietal intensity indicative of wines from Washington State."

"An impressive cab at this price. Full bodied, broad and powerful, with flavors of blackberry, currant and cedar. Some dusty oak is noticeable but not dominating, balanced by supple tannins, herbs and hints of vanilla. A no brainer for steak night!" - Barb Steadman, Binny's Des Plaines

Deep, rich crimson. Intense dark cherries, blackberries, chocolate, and black currant. Intense and silky blackberries, chocolate, mulberries, black cherries, and a hint of spice. Satisfying and lingering.
