Outstanding. With Joe and Steve Santa Fe — 8 years ago
Another masterstroke from Steve Pannel, beautiful cold climate shiraz, good body, dark berries, touch of soft spice but overall a nice fruit driven shiraz for Australian climates. — 9 years ago
One of the best Pinot Noir's I've had. Exceptional rendition of the fruit that comes from Sta. Rita Hills. Great cohesion, powerful yet elegant. Whiffs of wild strawberry coupled with boysenberry. Defined flavors of spice, loamy earth and the return of the berries. Ends with slight spice and roses. Great balance of acidity and tannins. Marvelous wine. — 9 years ago

Tasted blind amongst some great Napa wines and performed very well. Very elegant, pretty red raspberry nose. Elegant and restrained on the palate, but still vibrant and youthful. A wine with lots of soul and personality. Well done Steve! — 11 years ago

Light golden color. Probably the most complex nose of any white wine I've ever had. I get meyer lemon, some veggies, metallic elements, and about 10 other things I'm not good enough to pin down. Wine is crisp and balanced with just the amount of tartness I enjoy. Above average finish. This is a wine that is not meant to be figured out but to be enjoyed for its multiple dimensions. Well done Steve! — 8 years ago
Wonderful nose of dark fruit, oak and cinnamon. Fantastic tastes of blueberries, blackberries, cassis, baking spices and oak. A bold wine with solid tannins that are still working to put on silk gloves. This is a blend of grapes from all 15 AVA's in Napa back in 2010. Probably has another decade or more in terms of optimal bottle life. Steve Reynold's at his best. — 9 years ago
Wow. Absolutely terrific offering from Brewer-Clifton. At 11 years, this has an incredible nose of spiced rhubarb, dried strawberries, and a sagebrush undertone that adds terrific complexity. Has the classic spice one picks up from the Melville Verna's pinot, but is much more subdued and integrated into the wine, adding to its complexity. Wonderfully balanced, this wine probably has several more years of life left but is drinking beautifully right now. Probably the best Brewer-Clifton I've had. — 9 years ago


A very nice Bordeaux blend from Steve Reynolds. Excellent notes of rose petals, cinnamon and earthiness. On the palate I pick up dark and red fruit, spice and rosemary. Very smooth tannins wrapped around a hint of acidity that makes for a very nice mouthfeel and finish. One of our favorite wineries in Napa. @ — 10 years ago
Great rose. Salinity, minerality, just the right amount of acid. Thanks Steve for making wines that are alive #matthiasson — 10 years ago
