"The 2008 Cuvee Julia, a blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and small quantities of Cabernet Franc, Petite Sirah and Malbec, is a very impressive effort. Its dense purple color is followed by abundant aromas of cassis, blackberries, cedar, licorice and spice. Full-bodied and opulent, it is ideal for drinking over the next 7-8 years. " Robert Parker

"It showcases the depth and eloquence of Napa Valley's most exceptional fruit in a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. A velvety richness fills the palate, with a medley of deep plum, blackberry and warm spice. 400 cases made."

"Medium-bodied, elegant, and St.-Emilion-like in its personality, this pretty, slightly lighter-styled red is filled with finesse and impeccable purity." Robert Parker

"The 2006 Petit Verdot Stagecoach Vineyard is tight, but does offer up floral, blue and black fruit, and graphite notes. " Robert Parker

"This is the special Napa Auction Reserve made in 2004 by Spencer Roloson - only 120 btls were produced. This review is for the regular Syrah: Fresh, ripe and zesty blackberry and boysenberry aromas are complex, pure and focused on the palate, with excellent balance and persistence. The long, lingering finish keeps the dark fruit center stage. " Wine Spectator

"the Steltzner 2006 Malbec caresses the palate smoothly, yet remaining mindful by presenting a distinct structure. While tannins are present, they are not as prevalent as in a Cabernet Sauvignon and the palate experiences nuances of black dried cherry, blackberry, cola and baking spices. The Casual Connoisseur "
