91 points 2004 Cariblanco Sauvignon Blanc: "From one of the coolest, western-most vineyards in the Casablanca Valley, Cariblanco offers not only a wide range of concentrated green fruit and a lovely, citric acidity packed with vibrant mineral flavors, but also an appealing funky note all the way through the palate...complex and profound.”  February 2005.

90 points 2003 Bayo Oscuro Syrah: "Since the mid-'90s, when syrah started to make its way in Chile, most of it has been growing in warm sites. Now, new ventures like this Kingston Family wine, grown in western Casablanca, are proving that the Pacific's cold influence can create superb syrahs. Bayo Oscuro has been crafted from vines planted on the steepest, most sun-exposed site in the vineyard. Even so, cold ocean breezes delayed the '03 harvest to the beginning of May and transformed the fruit into a fresh, juicy and round syrah. Its vibrant acidity, firm tannins, and strawberry jam flavor give a clear sense of place." October 2004.
88 points 2003 Alazan Pinot Noir: "From the western reaches of the Casablanca valley, facing the Pacific Ocean, this vineyard's cool-climate pinot noir packs a lot of red fruit. Crisp and young, the wine delivers generous raspberry and cherry aromas, all together in a juicy texture." October 2004.

2003 Alazan Pinot Noir: "Chilean fruit, California winemaker. Very pretty, with bright fruit; full, round tannins. Leave it for a couple years." July 2004.
