Best wine I've had in years. Smooth and great taste. Highly recommended, good price too.
A Customer - California
I usually love this wine but this vintage left me begging for more
A Customer - University Place, WA
The 2003 Cabernet is one of the great ones.
jwalker@southplainscollege.edu - Levelland Texas
The Franciscan Cabernet is one of the very finest wines I have ever tasted! It is full-bodied with wonderful essences of black currant, chocolate and the terrific lingering influence of the oak barrel aging. I give it my highest recommendation! Jim Walker
A Customer - Pioneer, CA
I've been looking for a wine that was as good -- or better -- than a memoriable one I had 10 years ago. This is it. I bought several bottles initially -- then I bought a case. YUM!
A Customer - Montreal, Canada
Singularly the finest wine I've tasted. Let it breathe in a proper decanter.
A Customer - CT
Enjoyed at BICE in NYC. Very smooth with fine and balanced flavors.
A Customer - Fairfield, CA
I tasted the 2003 cab last night. Wow! One of the best I have tasted in the past ten years. Instantly, I found myself wishing I had saved it for Christmas. This wine is greatly under-priced.
A Customer - Richmond california
I; being a hard to please wine drinker have never in my life tasted a wine so rich and perfect. I pay well over $100 sometimes for other wines but the taste of this one beats them all in flavor and price.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
