Snowden Vineyards

92-95 PTS WINE ADVOCATE. The '09 Snowden Reserve Cabernet has a dense dark color; concentrated black currant; forest floor and mineral aromas; substantial depth with velvety tannins; very limited.

92 PTS WINE ADVOCATE. The '10 Snowden The Ranch Cabernet is one of the bigger, juicier wines in this vintage; mocha, chocolate, spices, plums and black cherries literally jump from the glass.

88 PTS WINE SPECTATOR; Supple-texture up front with ripe harmonious current & black cherry fruit that is well centered with complex hints of black olive and spice; finishing with elegant tannins.

90 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '99 Snowden Cabernet is deeply concentrated with firm tannins wrapped tightly around lots of herb, tobacco, currant, chocolate and espresso beans; enormously tannic.
