• 91 Points, Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate

De Ponte Reserve

• An intense and complex nose of dark fruits and chocolate, with a hint of mint and an earthy touch. Elegant and rich, it shows a beautiful concentration on the mid-palate. Velvety tannins but firmly structured to the end, with a long finish that is refined and elegant, leaves a full set of fresh fruit and floral notes supported by integrated oaky notes.

De Ponte Dundee Hills

• This Pinot Noir shows a distinctive nose with plenty of raspberry and floral aromas specifically violet and jasmine. Clean, pure and balanced, this wine is already seductive thanks to its palate of fresh fruit combined with hint of mint and caramel, giving it a long delightful finish.
• 91 Points, Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate

Lonesome Rock Ranch Red

• Vivid red.  Fresh red fruit and floral aromas are lifted by notes of white pepper, allspice and blood orange.  Juicy and precise, offering sweet raspberry and cherry flavors and a touch of cola.  Tangy acidity buffers the sweet fruit and adds bite to the long, spice- and floral-accented finish.
