The 2012 Maya is fabulous. Deep and explosive, the 2012 remains quite young. Black cherry, chocolate, espresso, licorice and gravel, along with the wine's natural concentration, convey and impression of virile intensity. As good as the 2012 is today, another few years in bottle certainly will not hurt. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2024)

Vera brought to holiday non-game night 2023. Fantastic, such a joy and surprise. Utterly delicious, smooth, velvety without being heavy, rewarding wine. — a month ago
A nice Syrah for under $30. Not an extraordinary Syrah, but it tastes like Syrah and is a good value at its price point. — 3 days ago
Tarter and more tannic than ‘21 but somehow maybe thinner? Either way, another delicious wine. — a month ago
Deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits, toasty and spicy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with notes of herb, mocha and tobacco. Medium finish, firm tannins, ending with fruit, herb and mineral spice character. Drink now no real aging benefit! — a month ago
Started out fruit forward, plums, blackberries. After a little more air, it mellowed, and the rich tannins and earthiness shown thru. An hour plus in a decanter is needed. Then it is more of an old world Bordeaux. Stews, lamb, short ribs. — 12 days ago
