2008 Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay, 90 points -Wine Enthusiast

2006 Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, 92 points- Wine Enthusiast
Phelps’ basic Cabernet bottling is dry and elegant and classically balanced. It displays rich flavors of blackberries, black currants and cedar, with notes of violets and herbs. Fancy and impressive now, but not a longterm ager. Through 2012. – S.H.

2005 St. Supery Dollarhide Limited Edition Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 – 95 points ,Wine Enthusiast

2007 Pahlmeyer Vineyard Pinot Noir –WINE SPECTATOR 93 points

2006 Joseph Phelps Insignia - WINE SPECTATOR - 94 points
Teasing with its floral, spicy cherry, wild berry and currant aromas, this is full-bodied, firm and structured, tight and focused, offering glimpses of what lies ahead with its complex mix of flavors and tightly wound tannins. Yet its finesse and refinement are apparent on the finish. Needs time. Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2011 through 2018.—J.L

2005 Bell Clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford – multiple Gold Medals, 93 points - Winemaker Anthony Bell fostered Clone 6 and developed the Rutherford Cabernet – Entrepreneur.com

2006 Freestone Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast, 90 points, Wine Spectator.
Firm and intense. Spicy wild berry, loamy earth, dusty herb, sage and mineral notes fan out nicely, gaining depth and dimension on the long, complex finish. Drink now through 2012. – J.L. (SEPT. 30, 2008)
