Stonestreet
1994 Merlot Alexander Valley
85 Points Editor, Wine Enthusiast Magazine 85 Highly Recommended.

Deep purplish ruby. Medium-bodied. Balanced acidity. Moderately extracted, oaked and tannic. Hint of sweetness. Berries, chocolate, cassis. Nicely integrated, showing good weight and balance. Opens up quickly in the glass and lingers well with faint sweet notes in the finish.

1990 Legacy Red Wine
85 Points Editor, Wine Spectator 85 Good to Very Good.

Crisp and spicy, offering a chocolate and spice edge to the modest core of berry and currant flavors. Finishes lean and elegant.

Stonestreet
1990 Legacy Red Wine
85 Points Editor, Wine & Spirits 85 Good to Very Good.

A meritage-type blend with intense cabernet character. The bouquet is balanced between tobacco, spicy scents and black fruit. On the palate, berries and black currants dominate in a mouthfilling body. Light in the finish.

Stonestreet
1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley
85 Points Stephen Tanzer, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 85

Good ruby-red. Black cherry, black plum, tobacco and an herbal nuance on the nose. Shows some density in the mouth…

1992 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley
85 Points Editor, Wine Spectator 85 Good to Very Good.

Supple and harmonious, with a range of cherry, herb and olive flavors that linger. Drinks well now.

1993 Gewürztraminer Anderson Valley
85 Points Editor, Wine Spectator 85 Good to Very Good.

Soft and very spicy, with strong nutmeg, allspice and rose petal notes; light fruit echoes on the finish.

Stonestreet
1998 Sauvignon Blanc Alexander Valley
85 Points Stephen Tanzer, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 85

Aromas of honey, lemon, butterscotch and oak. Supple, textured and fairly fat, with just enough acidity to maintain its balance.

Murphy-Goode
2011 Pinot Noir California
85 Points Charles Olken, Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine 85 points - Good Value

Another lighter Pinot from a vintage that is likely to produce more than its share of similarly styled bottlings, this one offers a quiet but decently focused aroma of red cherries filled out by a dollop of creamy oak. Medium-weighted and somewhat supple on the palate and gaining a touch of latter-palate grip from its youthful tannin, this one has plenty to like at its inviting price.

Murphy-Goode
2010 Liar's Dice Zinfandel
85 Points Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

Put some meat on the grill, slather it with barbecue sauce, and enjoy with this spicy Zin. Medium-bodied, it doesn’t overwhelm the food but complements it, with dry, classically varietal flavors of wild berries, brambly herbs, white pepper and sandalwood.

Murphy-Goode
2008 Liar's Dice Zinfandel
85 Points Robert M. Parker Jr., Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2008 Zinfandel Liar's Dice (primarily Zinfandel blended with small amounts of Carignane and Petite Sirah) is a medium ruby-hued, straightforward, peppery, herbal effort that should be enjoyed over the next 1-2 years.

Murphy-Goode
2016 Chardonnay California
85 Points Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator

A juicy style, with ripe apple, pear and peach flavors. Light and spicy on the finish.

Murphy-Goode
2012 Chardonnay California
85 Points Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast Magazine 85 points - Good

There are basic flavors of oranges, apples, pears and oak in this Chard. There’s also a sea-salt tang that makes it savory and suggests pairing with seafood.

Matanzas Creek
2000 Merlot Sonoma County
85 Points Robert M. Parker Jr., Robert Parker Wine Advocate 85

Moderately better than the 1999, offering sweet chocolately, cherry fruit as well as additional ripeness and texture.

1999 Chardonnay Sonoma Valley
85 Points Editor, Wine Spectator 85

Nicely focused apple, vanilla, quince, and fig flavors integrate with toasty oak character turn ample on the finish. Drink now.

2000 Chardonnay Sonoma Valley
85 Points Robert M. Parker Jr., Robert Parker Wine Advocate 85

Pleasant, but essentially monolithic. Drink it over the next year.

Matanzas Creek
1999 Syrah Sonoma Valley
85 Points Stephen Tanzer, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 85

Saturated meduim-deep ruby. Musky, meaty aromas of cassis, blackberry, animal fur and gun metal. Then quite hard on the palate, lacking sweetness and flesh. I don't find much personality here. Finishes slightly herbal and a bit dry.

Matanzas Creek
2002 Syrah Sonoma County
85 Points Editor, Wine Enthusiast Magazine 85

Boasts a dark flavor profile, combining well-done toast, black cherries, asphalt and leather. Low acidity gives it a smooth mouth-feel, but some drying tannins stick out on the finish giving it a rough edge.

The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits deep colors, but have hard tannin, a certain austerity, and a noticeable lack of texture as well as persistence on the palate.

A shiver of fruit comes after rose, coffee and jasmine scents, then this wine ends light and pleasantly bitter...
