Jen Dunnuck, Wine Advocate 6/2013
"Located in Walla Walla and founded in 1998 by Ron and Jamie Colman, with
the wines now made by Danny Gordan, this first-rate estate fashions
classic, age-worthy wines that over deliver for the price. While I
tasted the majority of the bottled wines in Colorado, all of the reserve
efforts were tasted from barrel during my visit to the winery. This is
an estate to watch and I came away more than a little impressed."
