2005 NOBOS Cabernet - Wine of the Day - "...It's a big, tightly wound, most impressive $24 Cabernet from a high-rent district.  The nose is cedar off the oak barrels cassis, dark chocolate and vanilla.  The palate has vibrant acidity, a big blast of coffe and licorice, wood tones... It's intense, concnetrated, viscous, the real deal." - Feb. 4, 2010, The Detroit News,

2008 Vicious Zin - 90 Points! "Rich, ripe and lively, with intense spiced fruit aromas; plush and supple super-jammy dark berry flavors cost the palate and seem to instesify; layers of dark spiced cherry and compote fade into a velvety finish that turns silky, with well-integrated tannins on the finish." - March/April, 2010, Beverage Dynamics Magazine

2008 Hillside Zinfandel - 90 Points! "A nice Amador County Zinfandel from an utterly reliable producer; a good match with a variety of foods; ripe flavors of blackberry and boysenberry with a hint of cherry and cranberry on the finish." - March/April, 2010, Beverage Dynamics Magazine

2007 Old Vine Zin - "Fragrant, rich and full-flavored zin with loads of fruit; this 100% organic wine is a winner." - March/April, 2010, Beverage Dynamics Magazine

2005 NOBOS Cabernet - 86 Points! Buying Guide: "...this is a dry, briary and rustic Cabernet. It has wild berry, currant and black pepper flavors, with edgy tannins. Needs rich beef and cheese dishes for balanced food pairing." - Feb. 2010, Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

NOBOS Chardonnay - GOOD VALUE - 89 POINTS - January 2010, Connoisseur's Guide to California Wine.

It was fresh but full of tropical fruit and rich vanilla crème brulée. I enjoyed every moment of drinking it! Realizing how much I miss that style, I wanted more! Full, rich mouthfeel and tropical goodness with a finish that doesn't stop. At $20.00, this was more than a steal! - Nov. 9, 2009 Grace Hoffman, Cellarmistress.blogspot.com

"Summer began with a 2007 Sobon Roussanne beachside. I vowed it would end with a 2008 Sobon Roussanne mountainside."  The 2008 "is a velvety white layered with fresh gardenia, bartlett pear and guava.  My wife and I enjoyed every last drop." - Oct. 7, 2009, Ed Williams, News & Record

Sobon 2007 ReZerve Primitivo  - I really loved this wine.  It comes from one of the oldest plantings from Shenandoah Valley, and is full of dark brooding mystery.  Lots of dark loganberry, cocoa powder, dark plum, earth, cinnamon sticks, dark baking spices.

Shenandoah 2007 ReZerve Paul’s Vineyard Zinfandel - At 15.2% ABV, you’d expect this to be a bruiser but it’s nicely balanced while still being bold.  Blackberries, chocolate, plums.  It’s got the earthy quality of Sierra Foothills zin that I really enjoy, but still keeps a lot of the bold fruitiness that makes it a zin. - Sept. 11, 2009 Luscious wineblogger, Palatepress.com
