The '12 Abstract fantastic! Dark inky blue-purple color; bursting with dark fruit, sage and wild flower aromas; blackberry, plum and black tea flavors on the palate; great texture and a long finish.

The little brother to Dave Phinney's D66 project. Others is a Grenache based blend; big dark berry fruit backed with pepper and spice; pleasing floral accents and oak in the finish.

92 PTS WILFRED WONG. Bright with excellent ripe fruit flavors, the zesty '09 Saldo (Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Grenache) shows superb brightness and balance; perfect with roast pork tenderloin.

Ripe black cherry, cassis and crushed black pepper spice; full bodied; intense mouthfeel, yet still sleek and elegant.

Uplifted aromatics of ripe blackberries, mulled raspberries, acacia flowers, toasty oak, and herbal notes hit the nose in a pronounced way.

California. Medium-bodied blend of Grenache, Petite Sirah and Syrah. 15.2% ABV

Expose your palate to an unadulterated array of crushed berries, dark chocolate, black fruits, and a tinge of creamy espresso. 15.5% ABV

Red and blue fruit flavors lead to beguiling cassis, plum and a hint of mocha. The tannins are soft and suave. As savory as it is hedonistic. 15.1% ABV
