"The 2010 Caliza Winery Cohort is a blend that has loads of texture and richness, yet stays light and beautifully drinkable. Showing loads of brambly black fruits, chocolate fudge, smoked earth, violets, and bouquet garni, it fleshes out on the palate and pumps out serious amounts of fruit on the finish to go with solid underlying structure and good tannin quality. It is a knockout blend that will shine for 8-10 years, if not longer." Jeb Dunnuck, The Rhone Report, December 2012  92+ Points

James Laube of Wine Spectator says. "Smooth, rich and layered, with smoke, mocha, dark berry, espresso and cedary oak notes that are full and persistent. Syrah, Petite Sirah and Grenache. Drink now through 2022. 90 Points

Glassstaining ruby. Powerfully scented aromas of cassis, blackberry, mocha, vanilla and woodsmoke. Lush and weighty in the mouth, offering pliant dark berry and sexy oak spice flavors and a velvety texture. Finishes with supple tannins and impressive cling, repeating the vanilla and cassis notes.
