2014 Saxum Terry Hoage Vineyard: A similar blend to the 2015, the 2014 Terry Hoage Vineyard (48% Syrah, 30% Grenache and 22% Mourvèdre) is a deeper, richer wine that offers sensational notes of blackberries, currants, pepper, crushed violets and hints of graphite. Deep, rich and layered, yet light on its feet as well as elegant and graceful, this sensational 2014 has sweet tannin, good acidity and a big finish. Give bottles a year or two (it's great today as well) and enjoy through 2028. by Jeb Dunnuck - 97 points

2013 Torrin Akasha: Hawley's 2013 Akasha is getting up there with some of the wines to come out of California. Coming from cooler, north and east facing slopes, and aged 18 months in 60% new French oak, its inky color is followed by gorgeously pure aromas and flavors of black currants, blackberries, smoked meats, earth, and pepper. This full-bodied, concentrated and impeccably balanced beauty has fine tannin, no hard edges, and and blockbuster length. In short, it's a gorgeous wine I wish every reader could taste! by Robert Parker/Wine Advocate - 97 points.

2016 L'Aventure Estate Cuvee: 52% Syrah, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Estate Cuvee is all black cherries, crème de cassis and chocolate box on the nose with a Chinese five spice and potpourri undercurrent. The full-bodied palate is rich, opulent and firmly structured, with great purity and depth, finishing with lingering spice and dried herbs notes. by Robert Parker/Wine Advocate - 99 points.
