Wine Enthusiast — 90 Pts.

“This lovely, single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc showcases bright, ripe fruit with crisp acidity, and manages to finish dry. It’s creamy textured, packed with lemon, lime and pink grapefruit flavors, and richer notes of melons, figs, wild honey, vanilla and smoke.” (2006)

Carica ‘Kick Ranch’ Syrah, Sonoma County

Wine Spectator—93 Pts.

“Beautifully crafted, pure and focused, this is full-bodied, offering juicy, vivid blackberry and wild berry fruit, with shades of plum and black cherry that coat the palate. Long and supple on the finish. Drink now through 2014.”

Balanced perfectly between richness and finesse it offers vibrant fruit and lovely aromatics characteristic of Northern Rhone and Sonoma County’s finest wines. Our Syrah is always approachable young but will continue to progress over the next 5-10 years. Delicious. –Charlie Dollbaum, Winemaker
