1985  Napa Cabernet Sauvignon

2004  

"**Two Stars** Deeply fruited, generously oaked and well-focused on varietal spice, the latest HDV bottling gets right to the richness that is inherent in the grape without making any sacrifice to excessive ripeness. It is big but supple and polished in feel, and it shows plentiful extract, yet its sense of refinement remains all the way to the end, its tannins notwithstanding. So neatly crafted, in fact, that it can be enjoyed soon with a juicy rack of lamb, it is a quite ageworthy wine with a future that is at least as attractive as its wholly compelling present. It need not be drunk any time soon." - 92pts Connoisseurs Guide (Tasted 11/2006)

2018  Syrah

2019  

"More iron, beef blood, and foresty, mushroom, almost metallic notes all emerge from the 2019 Syrah High Contrast Vineyard, another savory, powerful, incredibly impressive wine in this lineup. Deep purple/plum-hued, this full-bodied beauty has both black and blue fruits, ripe, building, yet polished tannins, a great mid-palate, and one heck of a gorgeous finish. There's a liquid rock-like minerality as well as a meaty, leathery character that's not far off a great vintage of La Chapelle. It's certainly the richest and most concentrated of the trio of Syrahs in 2019. Give bottles 3-5 years and enjoy over the following 25-30 years." - 98pts JD

2011  

"An immense, richly flavored effort, with lavish oak cloaked over dense blackberry, mocha, espresso, vanilla and crushed rock notes. Ends with a pleasing push of rich, charming fruit set against a wall of tannins." - 91pts WS

2017  St. Dolores Estate, Willamette Valley

St. Dolores Estate, Willamette Valley ---- "Shimmering ruby-red. Pungent red and dark fruit liqueur, candied rose, exotic spices and woodsmoke aromas show fine delineation and a musky hint of licorice. Palate-staining, impressively concentrated black raspberry, cherry preserve and spicecake flavors open up through the midpalate, taking on smoky mineral and floral nuances and showing gently chewy texture. Rich and broad, but there's energy here as well. Finishes extremely long, with powerful, floral-driven thrust and talc-y tannins that fold smoothly into the wine's energetic fruit. 14% new oak." - 95pts Vinous
