“Even greater acidity is present in the 2008 Chardonnay Lauren Vineyard. The tightest, most backward of this quartet, it exhibits surprisingly high acidity as well as remarkable concentration and extract. Again, it reveals a liquid minerality intertwined with citrus oil, orange blossom, and brioche notes. Like its siblings, this sensational white wine should last for a decade or more.” 96-99 Points – Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate

“Speaking of liquid stones, the 2008 Chardonnay Reuling Vineyard (planted with a suitcase clone that came from Burgundy’s most famous Chardonnay vineyard) is utterly profound. Waxy honeysuckle notes intermixed with quince, white currants, crushed rocks, flowers, and hints of almond paste and creme brulee are followed by a full-bodied wine displaying dazzling acid levels as well as remarkable concentration and precision. It is one of those Chardonnays that must be tasted to be believed.” 98-100 Points – Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate

“The 2008 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard (30+ year old old Wente clones) exhibits a beautiful green-ish hue to its color in addition to a stunning bouquet of orange blossoms, creme brulee, lemon custard, and citrus oil. Additionally, it has terrific acidity, fabulous concentration, and a full-bodied mouthfeel with unbelievable freshness and length. It should drink well for a decade or more.” 93-95+ Points – Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate

“These proprietary reds are dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2007 is the finest wine yet produced at Futo. A blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, a whopping 33% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Petit Verdot, it boasts a dense purple color as well as a gorgeously sweet bouquet of blue and black fruits, spring flowers, and crushed rocks, full-bodied power allied to compelling elegance, and a layered, multidimensional personality. There is plenty of depth in this beauty, and it is no doubt capable of putting on lots of weight and complexity given the Cabernet Franc component. Give it 3-4 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following 20-25 years.” – 98 Points – Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate

“In the style of the perfect 2002, the 2007 Harlan Estate is a true blockbuster with supple tannins, an opaque purple color, and sweet notes of creme de cassis, mocha, smoke, blackberries, crushed rocks, and floral aromas. Extraordinarily opulent and dense, with fabulous fruit, a full-bodied texture, and plenty of tannin, this effort is very similar to the 2002, but with more minerality and tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2035+.” 97-100 Points – Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate
