The Evil Twin 2018
93 Points – Wine Enthusiast
“An 80-20 blend, the aromas provide appeal, with notes of iron and other minerals along with plum and dark fruit. Dense, layered, rich blue- and black-fruit flavors follow, with plenty of tannins providing the scaffolding. It’s a hedonistic delight, made in this producer’s trademark power-packed style.”

92 Points – Wine Enthusiast
“A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, its barrel aromas are out front initially, with notes of coffee and baking spice followed by cherry. Plentiful pit-fruit flavors follow, showing a lovely sense of balance. It’s thoroughly delicious.”

The Devil You Don’t Know 2018
91 Points – Wine Enthusiast
“Like many wines from this producer, this one puts an emphasis on hedonism, and it brings plenty of it. Plum, coffee, mineral, nougat and cassis aromas lead to ripe, intense but still-balanced fruit flavors that pack a big punch.”

The Bully 2017
91 Points – Wine Enthusiast
“Blended with 8% Petit Verdot and aged in 90% new French oak, this wine’s roasted coffee-bean and dark-chocolate aromas are up front, followed by notes of cherry liqueur. Plentiful, sensuous chocolate and cherry flavors follow, lingering on the finish. It shows both the vintage and the winery’s hedonistic style.”

“It seems that 2018 was a bountiful vintage, and this wine offers its cornucopia of fruit. Cherry- and raspberry-gummy aromas are followed by plump, rounded fruit flavors that show impressive depth, layering and plenty of structure to support it all.“

The F.O.G. Old Vine Cabernet 2016
92+ Points – Wine Advocate
“With an explosive nose, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon The Fog Kiona Old Block bursts from the glass with lush, ripe and bold black fruit aromas with skillful use of integrated oak lifting the floral bouquet. Full-bodied, the palate shows power and restraint, packing a balanced structure with lifting tannins and energetic acidity across the mid-palate. The wine ends with a long and thoughtful finish with juicy plum notes entwined with mocha and elegant oak flavors of cinnamon, vanilla and cardamom. 150 cases produced. Well done! I just might have to finish the glass.” – AM
The Big Sissy 2018
91 Points – Wine Enthusiast
“For a producer typically known for its brawny wines, this one has that but also a lovely sense of subtlety, with notes of chalk, cardamom and plentiful barrel spice. The peach flavors bring nuance with their creamy, full feel. A warm, fruit-filled finish caps it off.”
