Peg Melnik, Press Democrat, CA Four Stars - Wine of the Week

A tasty zin with aromas and flavors of raspberry, dried cherry, vanilla and spice. Approachable. Balanced.

Michele Anna Jordan, Press Democrat, CA Pairing Murphy-Goode zin lovers burgers - Roasted Garlic Burgers with Dry Jack Cheese, Roasted Garlic Mayonnaise & Pickled Onions

Big, juicy, jammy red's full potential will be realized with rustic foods. Our wine of the week, Murphy-Goode 2007 Liar's Dice Zinfandel is big, juicy and jammy, with a warm sweetness buoyed by the heat and fat of nearly 15 percent alcohol. The wine's all black fruit and topsoil, with veins of black licorice and tannins that are broad and smooth in the middle and just a tad rough on the outermost edges of the palate. The wine's full potential will be reached with rustic foods, from a classic hamburger, meatloaf and spaghetti with meatballs to grilled pizzas and all manner of sausage, provided there is no chicken involved.

Bill Daley, Chicago Tribune, IL Good

Purply red, with a spicy cinnamon nose, this wine has a sweet cherry flavor spiked with a sprig of mint. Not a lot of tannins, but the structure is there.

Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr, Capital Gazette, MD Highly Recommended

Sweet, jammy fruit redolent of blackberries and raspberries, rich texture and easy tannins. A great wine to serve with hamburgers, pulled pork, sausage and other grilled meats.

Rich Mauro, The Gazette, CO Highly Recommended

One reason why zinfandel is my favorite wine is that it's quite versatile with food (and especially compliments the barbecue and grilled foods popular this time of year). My tasting was dominated by Sonoma County 2006 Murphy-Goode Liar's Dice.

Editor, The Wall Street Journal, NY THE DOW JONES ZINFANDEL INDEX.

In a tasting of American Zinfandel between $20 and $50 from recent vintages, these were our favorites. 2003 Liars's Dice Zinfandel What a surprise; a real good food zin. All the right tastes with blueberries, pepper and earth, but a great deal of restraint and vibrant, food-friendly acidity. VERY GOOD

2007 Fumé Blanc
Karen Page & Andrew Dornenburg, The Washington Post, DC A White for Every Whim

Andrew was enamored of the light body, the hint of orange peel and soft, grassy notes of the 2007 Murphy-Goode The Fumé, whose mere three months on French oak gave it the slightest toastiness.

2003 Fumé Blanc
Editor, Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine

2003 Fume Blanc And here is a wonderfully scrubbed, lightly grassy, floral and very quietly oaky wine. It earns its spurs for energy, for its absolute purity of spirits and for its perfectly measured seasoning of grassy varietal character. Its priceworthiness is also to be noted.

2002 Reserve Fumé Sauvignon Blanc
Editor, Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine 2 PUFFS. GOOD VALUE

2002 RESERVE FUME As this effort amply demonstrates, there are advantages to a bit of maturity....It's a lot of wine for the money.

2001 Reserve Fumé Sauvignon Blanc
Editor, Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine

2001 Reserve Fume Pears, Melons and light, fresh smells of grassy meadows start this wine off in the right direction, and its fruity, direct, slightly green-edged flavors follow right in suit.....

2016 Sauvignon Blanc North Coast
Rich Mauro, The Gazette, CO Cool off with a glass of sauvignon blanc

Cool off with a glass of sauvignon blanc I found a number of good everyday values that tend to be lighter with the focus on varietal fruit... 2016 Murphy-Goode The Fumé tangy, smooth.

2016 Sauvignon Blanc North Coast
Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times, FL Wine of the Week

Wine of the Week Despite the weird recurrences of winterish (for Florida) weather we’ve had lately, we know the hot weather is coming. Time to stock the wine racks with that summer staple, sauvignon blanc. One delicious and versatile candidate is Murphy Goode 2016 North Coast Sauvignon Blanc, widely available at about $13 per bottle. Made by Murphy Goode, founded in Sonoma County in 1985, this wine is 94 percent North Coast sauvignon blanc grapes, with a little kiss of semillon. Its pale straw color alone has a cooling effect, and its aroma conjures a bright salad of citrus and melon. Take a mouthful for even more of that fruit yumminess: cantaloupe, pineapple, tangerine, lime and peaches. There’s just a hint of herb, but no gooseberry funk — this is a California-style sauvignon blanc, not the New Zealand school. (I love them both, but they’re very different.) The Murphy Goode finishes crisply, with a chilly mineral edge under all that fruit. It’s a splendid aperitif, and it was born to wash down raw oysters. Or try it with a plate of linguine with fresh asparagus, zesty lemon and nutty Parmigiano-Reggiano.

2015 Sauvignon Blanc North Coast
Nick Passmore, Forbes The Best 20 White Wines Under $20

I’m not a fan of California SBs; they’re grassy, gooseberry-juice imitations of grassy, gooseberry-juice New Zealand SBs. Murphy- Goode is different. Over an hour it developed intriguing depth.

2014 The Fumé Sauvignon Blanc
Chuck Hill, Wines Northwest Wines of the Week

Murphy-Goode celebrates the hedonistic side of winemaking, seeking to craft wines that appeal to a broad spectrum of equally passionate consumers. The Fume Sauvignon Blanc offers tangerine and peach with tangy citrus and mellow vanilla – a great summer sipping wine or pair with light pastas or sea foods of all types.

This clean and relatively crisp wine has mild fruit-salad flavors and lively acidity. It's medium-bodied, not too assertive and should please a crowd.

This approachable sauvignon blanc is aromatic with notes of orange blossom, and on the palate, grapefruit, tangerine and a hint of lime. Tasty.

2014 The Fumé Sauvignon Blanc
Dan Berger, Napa Valley Register, CA Wine of the Week

The aroma of this fascinating, dry white wine has hints of blossoms and a nice delicate herbal varietal note. The entry is crisp and aimed at tart foods, and the aftertaste is just slightly more complex than past vintages because the wine had some barrel fermentation. Excellent and stylish wine from winemaker David Ready.
