Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Showket vineyard is now known as “Au Paradis,” since it was purchased by Peter Michael Winery in late 2009. Composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Cabernet Franc, the 2009 Red Wine Ee Cuvee Showket Vineyard has a deep garnet-brick color. It comes bounding out of the glass with rambunctious notes of plum preserves, fruitcake, blackberry pie and dried roses with touches of cloves and espresso. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with black fruit preserves and loads of savory and earthy nuances, supported by velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long with a minty kick.

Spectator
Soon after that, the couple moved to Minneapolis and fell in with a group of wine lovers whose passion and knowledge fanned their flame. They started taking regular trips to wine country in California, where they met many of the finest winemakers. They were so inspired by them that to this day they follow many of their principles. They learned first-hand about Philip Togni's attention to every minute detail. Saw how Bob Foley would only pick fruit if his palate -- not some lab test -- told him it was time. They heard Greg La Follette telling them how careful you have to be when making decisions in the winery because even the smallest decision has an impact on the final wine. Their conversations still reverberate with them whether the couple is at a vineyard or in the winery.
