Robert Parker, December 2009 - 89 Points
“Another brilliant blend as well as an unreal value is the 2007 Red X, a North Coast California blend of 60% Syrah, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 19% Zinfandel. Deep ruby/purple-hued with plenty of peppery black currant fruit intermixed with roasted herb and spice box characteristics, it is a fleshy, rich, soft, exuberant, hedonistic turn-on to drink over the next 2-3 years. One has to admire what proprietor Reed Renaudin has done with his inexpensive blends…”

"...This is a great wine and an exceptional value."
