Join us in raising a toast to the power of hard work, dedication, and unwavering passion.
2021 ANGELI ESTATE ZINFANDEL
94 POINTS VINOUS | SINGLE ESTATE Series
“The 2021 Angeli, primarily Zinfandel from a site in Alexander Valley, offers up heady dark-red-toned fruit, chocolate, sweet spice, leather, tobacco and lavender. Sumptuous and racy to the core, the Angeli has so much to offer. This is an especially extroverted edition of this cuvée, with varietal notes beautifully dialed up.” Antonio Galloni, VINOUS
2021 GIBSON BLOCK HISTORIC BLEND
95 POINTS VINOUS | SINGLE ESTATE Series
“The 2021 Gibson Block, old-vine Syrah and Grenache, is a heady, extroverted wine. Ripe dark-toned fruit, new leather, spice, dried herbs, gravel, incense and tobacco all saturate the palate. Readers will find a wine of textural intensity and stature to burn. Bright acids pull it all together on the finish to balance the wine’s more extroverted qualities.” Antonio Galloni, VINOUS
2021 GAME TRAIL CABERNET
96 POINTS VINOUS | SINGLE ESTATE Series
“The 2021 Game Trail exudes finesse from the very first taste. Crushed flowers, dark red-toned fruit, cinnamon, leather, menthol and dried rose petal build effortlessly as the 2021 shows off its undeniable class. Cabernet Sauvignon at 1,400 feet in the Yorkville Highlands is utterly sublime in this bottling from Marietta.” Antonio Galloni, VINOUS
2021 NADI DRY RIESLING
92 POINTS VINOUS | FAMILY Series
“The 2021 Dry Riesling Nadi Wirz Vineyard is, as the name states, dry. It offers terrific tension and plenty of cut. The lack of sweetness results in an especially taut Riesling. Hints of green apple, slate, crushed rocks, petrol and white flowers linger. This is such a vivid and expressive wine.” Antonio Galloni, VINOUS
2021 ROMÁN ZINFANDEL
92 POINTS VINOUS | FAMILY Series
“The 2021 Román is an absolute delight. Crushed flowers, sweet red cherry fruit, cinnamon, leather and dried herbs are nicely lifted in this translucent, weightless Zinfandel-based red. Dollops of Petite Sirah and Barbera round out the blend. This is grace personified.” Antonio Galloni, VINOUS
2021 Christo Syrah rhone blend
90 POINTS VINOUS | FAMILY Series
“The 2021 Christo is a brooding wine. Black cherry, plum, gravel, tobacco, menthol, licorice and dried herbs add to an impression of gravitas. Brawny tannins wrap it all together. This full-bodied red is very much intended for the dinner table.” Antonio Galloni, VINOUS
2021 ARMÉ CABERNET
92 POINTS VINOUS | Family Series
“The 2021 Armé is a tasty Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend from Marietta. Gravel, scorched earth, tobacco, incense, leather and menthol add layers of nuance to a core of dark-toned fruit. This somber, virile red packs plenty of intensity into its mid-weight frame.” Antonio Galloni, VINOUS
OLD VINE RED LOT 74
90 POINTS VINOUS | OVR
“The NV OVR Old Vine Red Lot Number 74 is packed with dark-toned fruit, leather, licorice spice, mocha, chocolate and complicating earthy notes. This bold, flavorful Zinfandel-based blend delivers the goods. Best of all, it is a terrific value.” Antonio Galloni, VINOUS
