2005 Alban Vineyards, Reva Estate Syrah from Edna Valley scored a 96 in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The intense, inky/ruby/purple-tinged 2005 Syrah Reva Vineyard boasts gorgeous notes of graphite, smoke, roasted meat, herbs, and oodles of blackberries and creme de cassis. This full-bodied, fabulously rich Syrah is a superb success for the vintage."

2014 Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon scored a 93 by Robert Parker: "The blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot expresses ripe fruit notes ranging from blackberry to plum and cassis, as well as nuances of bay laurel, chocolate, black tea, brown sugar, graphite and crushed rose petal. The texture in the mouth is definitely that of a mountain wine, with size and concentration to balance the richness and opulence of its round mid-palate."

2010 Robert Craig Affinity Cabernet Sauvignon scored a 93 by Robert Parker, Wine Advocate: Affinity, a classic Bordeaux-style Cabernet, "is an especially dark, brooding wine loaded with character. The relatively large presence of Petit Verdot is felt in the wine's fruit and muscular personality... The 2010 is 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 4% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025." 92 points from the Wine Enthusiast: "It's dry, tannic and elegantly structured, with a firm minerality anchoring blackberry and plum fruit flavors. "
