2008 McIntyre Vineyards Estate Pinot Noir - 90 Points
Inky dark, full-bodied, dry and, in a word, huge. Thats this Pinot, which shows typical Santa Lucia power. Densely concentrated in raspberry, cherry and blackberry fruit, its strong in tannins, but theyre velvety soft. An interesting wine, not particularly Pinot-esque, but delicious and possibly ageworthy.

McIntyre Estate Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands 2008 (90)
"Keenly focused on complex cherry aromas whose background notes of black plums, root beer, and smoky caramel lift it into a higher plane, the wine is invitingly supple in the early goings on at the front of palate and nicely firmed up at the back. It never gives up any of its charm at any point, and if it seems to beg for drinking up now, it is sure to grow and stay in fine fettle as the years go by. It is a wine worth holding."

2009 McIntyre Vineyards Estate Chardonnay Block K-1
91 POINTS - International Wine Review
"This starbright light yellow straw Chardonnay reveals smoky oak and summer melon with a green mango accent. Its lush, clean and full on a refined, Burgundian palate with nicely integrated flavors, good acidity, and finishing very long with hazelnut notes. This wine will pair beautifully with salmon, trout, and white meat dishes."
