96 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"The 2021 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills has a medium ruby color and pretty scents of cinnamon stick, aniseed, iron, underbrush and charcuterie with a core of red cherries and cranberries. Medium-bodied yet very...

98 points James Suckling"What an expressive and exotic nose this remarkable Spatlese has, but that’s really the least of it. The giant energy and mineral freshness are like a whale rising from the depths and blowing water out if its spout. Then...

93 points Wine Enthusiast"Smoke and violet florals add nuance to sweet quince jelly and yellow peach notes on this vibrant, mouthwatering Riesling. It's delicate in frame, but penetrates the palate with rich, juicy fruit and a shower of orange acidity...

95 points James Suckling"I love the transparent, floral nose of this beautifully crafted and extremely fresh Tasmanian pinot noir. Fantastic interplay of mineral acidity with fresh black cherry and ripe strawberry fruit on the super-elegant palate. Long,...

97 points Falstaff"Bright ruby colour. Riveting nose with exquisite spicy notes, cinnamon blossom and clove, followed by cassis and damson. Full-bodied and vibrant, revealing many layers of vivid tannin followed by bags of juicy berries." 95 points Wine...

95 points James Halliday"“61% malbec, 39% petit verdot. An arresting colour in the glass, bright deep crimson right to the edge. The bouquet is like a melange of wild vine and forest berries with raspberry, mulberry and redcurrant amongst them, a...

97 points Decanter"This wine transposes the sparse calcareous soil and Hanspeter Ziereisen's subtle winemaking, which uses about 50% whole bunch fermentation in closed tanks to protect the fruit and later maturation in barrique, 20% new. A rather unique...

92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"Ziereisen's Syrah 2019 Gestad opens with a pure, intense, bloody and meaty, still reductive but refreshing bouquet of dark cherries, berries, violets, black and green olives and freshly milled white pepper. On the...

97 points Wine Enthusiast"A fragrant note of peony and a touch of violet are the first impressions on the nose. With more air, a sense of creamy vanilla emerges. The palate, illuminated by pervasive freshness, is dense in flavors of red cherry and forest...

98 points DecanterBeware the siren with the ruby-red lips. In a smoky room, here she strides – confident, cool, arresting. Slender, stalky cherry and a smear of blackcurrant bite, spiked with crushed peppercorns. No sunny smiles here, this is...
