92 pts. Wine Enthusiast: November 1, 2006
This is the first launch of Richard Sanford’s new brand. The pioneering Santa Barbara vintner is no longer connected with Sanford Winery. It’s an impressive start. Power defines the wine, which detonates with explosive cherry-berry and cocoa fruit and oak, wrapped into a silky, velvety texture. It’s drinkable now, but it’s likely to age well for the next eight years.

Sleek and structured, with a tight beam of herb, citrus and anise-laced wild berry and black cherry fruit. Acidity keeps the flavors firm and vivid, finishing with a burst of wild berry fruit. Drink now through 2009.
