GOLD MEDAL, 90 Points - 2017 World Wine Championships
At the lowest, coolest part of the Hidden Vineyard, often shrouded in morning fog is our tiny Pinot Noir block. The minimally irrigated vines produce only miniscule yields. The 2013 harvest gave us just enough fruit to produce only 30 cases of our Reserve Pinot Noir. Enjoy now or save it for a foggy day.
93 POINTS, Gold Medal - 2017 World Wine Championships
We gave our 2013 Reserve Syrah a little extra time in barrel and an additional year of bottle aging before release. Sourced once again from the tiny Fairbairn Vineyard, the brambly dense black fruit gave us a dry, spicy Syrah, packed with earthiness and blackcurrant flavors. The Conspirator will be a mysterious but welcome guest at any dinner table.
BEST OF CLASS - 2016 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.
While the Assassin's Cabernet Sauvignon characteristics are prevalent, the Syrah brings additional layers of complexity to the blend. Dense, dark mocha and blackcurrant flavors, punctuated with vanilla and a touch of spice. Bold and robust with a velvety mouth feel and a long, lingering finish.
