94 points Falstaff: "Bright ruby with a slight purple shimmer. Opens on the nose with ripe, vivid fruit of blueberries and dark cherries, some liquorice in the background. On the palate gripping, dense tannin, unfolds into countless layers, still seems very young, but has a lot of substance, hearty and long. (11/26/21)"93 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): " This succulent red is hallmarked by very pure expressions of cherry, raspberry, violet and mineral. Firmly built, with energy and a persistence that extends the fruit, tobacco and mineral elements on the finish. Drink now through 2030. (May 2022)"

Blindfaith Pilot Wine#1 Lovely colour – not much age here was my initial impression Nose: Dark flowers, vibrant blackcurrant, blackberry. Floral, fruity, slightly dusty black fruit note. Not sure what I'm talking about there, but it shouted Tuscany at me. Tangy, bold – intense black fruit – lively acidity and firm but smooth tannin. Raw spice and herbs again suggesting youth. But punchy and delicious. Guess: Tuscan, BDX Blend, 2015 vintage? Reveal: Wasn’t too far off! My favourite of the pair. -John Mobbs

A delightfully fragrant and fresh Sauvignon Blanc. Lovely aromatics: grassy, stone fruits, candied lemons. Vibrant mouthfeel with crisp acidity balanced by tangerine, citrus fruits with wet stones and minerality on its texture. Surprising density and layers of flavor. Hard to put my glass down. Loire meets Marlborough in the heart of Chianti. Fontodi delivers again. --Jack Madrid

This is a Paso Robles estate Rose. It’s an interesting Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsaut, Counoise and Carignan blend. The color is a beautiful salmon. The nose is citrusy and floral. This wine’s acidity is lively on your palate with a predominance of grapefruit. The finish is clean and I think this would go well with something spicy such as Thai food. Perhaps a little overpriced.

96 points Vinous The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is silky and elegant, with lovely aromatic presence and impeccable balance. Sweet tobacco, cedar, dried flowers and mint all give this mid-weight Cabernet lovely complexity and nuance. The 2018 has shut down since I tasted it last year, but that is not surprising given the style here. Today, bright acids give the 2018 energy, tension and a good deal of precision. 96+ (AG)  (1/2022)

Winemaker Notes A wine of elegance, The Dreamer is dark and brooding with fine and structured tannins. Sourced from small, family vineyards and aged for 24-30 months in the finest French oak barrique. The stave wood is hand-selected for ultra-tight grain, then air dried for three years before being made into barrels. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Critical Acclaim Jeb Dunnuck Coming from two vineyards, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Dreamer sports a vivid purple hue to go with beautiful aromatics of darker currants, ripe cranberries, leafy tobacco, and spring flowers. I love its balance, it's medium to full-bodied, has gorgeous tannins, and a great finish. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate A blend of two undisclosed vineyards, Fortunate Son's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Dreamer is darker, richer and warmer than the 2018 version, yet still balanced, delivering ripe black cherries, loamy earth and dried spices. It's medium to full-bodied, softly dusty and long on the finish.

Jayson Woodbridge applies his signature brand of genius to this new project from very old vines. 85-90-years-old, to be more specific. Around 92% Cabernet Sauvignon is bolstered by a proprietary selection of red varieties tucked into the vineyard. Deep in color and flamboyant in presentation, the nose is rich with redcurrant preserves, cassis, dark chocolate and roses, plus hints of Indian spices and a hard line of iron ore. The palate is pure velvet, beautifully fresh and loaded with spicy layers. Fans and followers of Hundred Acre will want to scoop up this well-priced endeavor from such a renowned winemaker.

From Robert Parker The Wine Advocate, “Jayson Woodbridge calls this a “21st Century Claret.” The blend is mainly Cabernet Sauvignon with a good dollop of Merlot and a dash of Petite Sirah. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Diplomat comes skipping out with bright notes of Morello cherries, mulberries, and black raspberries, over a profound core of warm cassis, hoisin and blackberry pie, with wafts of licorice and unsmoked cigars. The generous, full-bodied palate is soft and plush, featuring a powerful black fruit core with a lively backbone and loads of layers on the earthy finish…” ROBERT PARKER 96 POINTS
