Very decent cabs althou not as complex but easy drinking cabs. Aroma is quite less than when I tasted it during the state line liquor store tasting session but most likely due to cold temp at my place - snowed in and too cold temp for red wine. Still enjoyable — 8 years ago
Very young. Big juicy Grenache fruit are in abundance. Give this one a couple of years. — 9 years ago
No Brett. Very nice bottle. Love the team at Rhys, Kevin and Jeff are doing great things. Santa Cruz Mountains deserves more Pinot attention. — 9 years ago
We paired this with country ribs drenched in a smoky BBQ sauce. And while I've never made ribs nor tasted this wine, all I can say is...I was transported to scenes From House of Cards, where Kevin Spacey plays the excellent, if slightly sociopathic character of Frank Underwood, Democratic Majority Whip. This wine is brazen, ballsy and complex, with notes of eucalyptus, smoke, preserved meat, asphalt, ox blood, grit and conspiracy. Rich, brooding and as well-developed as a riveting story, the Cimicky will suck you in. — 10 years ago

Kevin Judd's 2013 is an elegant number, not overripe peardrops (like so many NZ can be) but lightly creamy, leesy, white flowers with white peach, coxs apple. Light phenolics balanced with good acidity and texture. Slight smidgen of residual sugar also supports harmony. Well made — 9 years ago
all what I expect from a grand white: slight but fun oxidation, radiant acidity, great texture for an enchanting aromatic kaleidoscope of flowers, minerals and tropical ripe fruit.
thanks for all Kevin and keep going, keep on rocking in the free wine world. — 10 years ago

I really enjoyed the Southern Rhone style blend from this producer’s 2015 vintage. That said, I’m enjoying the Syrah even more. This shows amazing texture & nuance to add complexity to the dark fruit. The nose in particular shows savory, almost olive brine character to match the summer blackberries. Beautiful wine- a producer well worth checking out! — 7 years ago
