2021 Oberon Merlot, Napa Valley
Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast, September 2023
“Enticing, spicy oak aromas and vivid red and black fruit flavors highlight this vibrant, well-structured wine. Moderate tannins and bright raspberry and black cherry flavors fill out the palate while the addition of 10% Syrah and 2% Zinfandel contributes some nice layering.”

2021 Oberon Chardonnay, Los Carneros
Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast, July 2023
“A tasty combination of ample ripe fruits and light, complex baking spices are backed by good acidity in this balanced and lively wine. Vanilla and nutmeg notes top Bosc pear and Pippin apple flavors that are delicious and persistent.”

2021 Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa County
Tasting Panel, June 2023
“This is a very versatile take on Cabernet that is sufficiently soft to prove very enjoyable for cocktail-style sipping before dinner but with enough flavor and tannic backbone to hang in with a steak at the table. A bit of sweetness on top of the fruit’s natural ripeness buffers the tannins for the sipping side of that equation, yet there’s enough blackberry and Bing cherry flavor to power through the charring on the steak. This is a Cabernet that holds out multiple aspects, and one or two of them will manage to appeal to almost everyone. That’s no small feat. ”

2022 Oberon Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley
Tasting Panel, June 2023
“Sauvignon Blanc from California’s North Coast appellations seems to turn out best when vintners don’t try to wrestle the variety into a style reminiscent of either Sancerre or Marlborough. This is medium-bodied and fully ripe, thanks to all that California sun, with open fruit flavors recalling white melon above all – but with a beam of bright acidity shining through it as a reminder that this is Sauvignon Blanc, regardless of the absence of notable grassiness or minerality. ”

2019 Animo Heritage Sauvignon Blanc
Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, July 2022
“Austere and refined with flavors of lemon peel and grapefruit, this is a tight, textured and concentrated white given time in bottle to develop and strengthen. High-toned acidity keeps it bright in the glass. VIRGINIE BOONE”

2021 Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa County
Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast, May 2023
“A strong menthol character defines this medium-bodied and moderately tannic wine from its basil-like aroma to mint and bay leaf nuances amid the toasty oak and black cherries on the palate. It's well structured and attractive in an unconventional way.”

2010 Isole e Olena Vin Santo del Chianti Classico DOC
James Suckling, James Suckling, May 2023
“This is beautiful with dried peaches, dried persimmons, baklava, dried blood orange and toasted almonds with yeasty notes. Full and opulent and delicious. The sweetness is in perfect harmony with the vivid acidity. Full of energy and fruit. Some chocolate at the end with saffron and exotic spices.”

2021 Isole e Olena Chardonnay Toscana IGT
James Suckling, James Suckling, April 2023
“Attractive aromas of walnut, peach pit and vanilla with grilled lemons and sliced quince. Full and textured with a creamy mouthfeel. Structured and complex with nuttiness and mineral undertones to close. Toned and lingering finish.”

2019 Isole e Olena Cabernet Sauvignon Toscana IGT
James Suckling, James Suckling, April 2023
“Notes of chocolate-coated dark cherries and cassis with roasted walnut, nutmeg, cedar and spice box. Full-bodied, big and opulent with an array of ripe and compact tannins coming through. Toned acidity gives energy and juiciness to the dark fruit. Really polished and refined.”
