Woodward Canyon

2013 VINTAGE ONLY; 94 PTS, WINE ENTHUSIAST - "Barrel notes of vanilla and spice take the lead in this aromatically brooding wine, followed by dried herbs and dark fruit. The flavors are pitch black, coating the palate from end to end with layers of fruit, tannins that go the distance and a graphite-filled finish that lingers."

90 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '12 Woodward Canyon Artist Cab offers dark berry and sassafras falvors on a supple frame; finshing with firm tannins

93 PTS WILFRED WONG. Almost too pretty, the sophisticated '01 Woodward Canyon Artist Series Cabernet exhibits silky behaviors as it explodes a potpourri of delicious ripe fruit flavors; long finish.

FOUR STARS RESTAURANT WINE "Very complex, full bodied, & toasty-oaky style; a wine with a smoky, oak, pineapple, & citrus flavors; long & somewhat woody on the finish; excellent."

88 PTS WILFRED WONG A very study merlot, the '97 Woodward Canyon sends a message that merlot is not always peaches and cream; this wine is rich, powerful and deep; serve with highly seasoned fare.

Packed like a suitcase, the nifty '98 Woodward Canyon cabernet supports itself with an excellent strucuture of soft, firm tannins and superbly built ripe black fruits; serve with basil lamb stew.
