88 points Peñín Guide: "(Tempranillo 100%) Cherry with a garnet edge colour, candied fruit aroma, sweet spices, new oak, flavourful palate, meaty, candied, balanced. (2009)"
87 points Josh Raynolds (International Wine Cellar): "Deep, saturated red. Ripe cherry and blackberry aromas are complicated by warm brown spices and licorice. Fleshy and ripe, with weighty dark fruit flavors, a chewy texture and a touch of finishing warmth. I'd drink this on the young side, before the alcohol gains the upper hand. (Jul/Aug 2008)"

Fine Wine Review: "From this traditional producer, here is a fine introduction to the 2005 vintage for Nebbiolo grapes. The wine is round, open, and medium weight with typical red cherry fruit, and although there are tannins here, the wine can be drunk already with food. Now-2017. (Issue #118; 2007)"
Producer notes: "A ruby-red wine showing plenty of fresh fruit and substance on both the nose and the palate, soft tannins, and the power which is typical of Nebbiolo. A younger style of Nebbiolo that can be enjoyed in its own right, and will encourage many consumers to go on to appreciate Barolo in the future."

Producer notes: "In 2006, we replaced the Zinfandel component, which previously came from the Teldeschi Vineyard, with Zinfandel from the famed Tom Feeney Ranch. The blend remains 60% Zinfandel, 35% Syrah (from Las Madres Vineyard) and 5% Petite Syrah (from Eaglepoint Ranch). This wine combines the spicy peppery flavors and up-front brambleberry and red cherry, with green pepper corn and cassis, and full mid-palate bringing elegant and dark cherry fruit in the finish, with hints of coffee and toffee in a surprising long finish for a Zinfandel based wine. Enjoy over a barbeque or red meat over the next 3-4 years."

94 points Wine Spectator: "[$145 list] The apricot, honey and citrus notes are finely etched and concentrated in this lively auslese. It shows balance and potential for aging, with botrytis adding spice accents. Yet overall it lacks a little purity at this stage. Give it some time. Best from 2008 through 2025. 75 cases imported.

95 points Joel Payne (International Wine Cellar): "[$562 list] Musky aromas of peach, butterscotch and cinnamon rise above the botrytis. Full-bodied caramelized fruits overwhelm the palate, only just balanced by the oyster shell salinity. Succulent sweet flavors pervade the finish. This wine still needs time. (Jan/Feb 2006)"
95 points Wine Spectator: "A silky-smooth dessert white, evoking apricot, honey, lemon and spice aromas and flavors. It's concentrated and lively, with fine intensity on a light-bodied profile. It still needs time to reveal all its charms. Drink now through 2040. 25 cases imported. (4/30/06)"

Picked in November and December, Weil's 2004 Kiedricher Grafenberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese ended up being assembled from 25 tiny lots. The astounding aromas include the ocean, lobster reduction, veal demi glace, caramelized peach and quince preserves. Thick, dense and creamy in the mouth, it displays remarkably restrained sweetness and a wafting, delicate sense that is hard to describe. The palate is positively teeming with ocean-deep minerality and field-sized florality. This wine is one of those full immersion experiences from which your soul will emerge changed, if not saved. In the finish, there is an invigorating and animating juiciness and saltiness for all of the persistent parallel impression of creamy richness. One senses that the selection was so deft and the material available so perfect, that a certain number of still juicy, unraisined, green-golden berries could be retained.
99 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "[$750 list] Opulent aromas of caramelized peach, quince preserves and oyster shell. Incredibly dense and creamy-rich, but the sweetness is leavened by a juicy, almost salty tanginess. In spite of this wine's great depth and weight, it's impressively elegant. Finishes with great persistence."
