Light fruit flavors run from melon into pale strawberry, with tannins that seem just on the edge of ripeness. Pleasant for the near term, but not for cellaring.——P.G.(4/1/2012)—— 86

Fresh and open-textured, this offers a lovely panoply of plum and currant notes, with hints of pepper, lingering easily against a light burr of tannins. Drink now through 2015. 756 cases made. -HS

There should be plenty of buzz about The Buzz. Dense and dark, loaded with black fruits, coffee grounds and ground pepper, this high-alcohol, slightly volatile wine is not unlike some cult wines selling for four times the price. ——P.G.(5/1/2011)—— 91

The Buzz is a single-vineyard blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah in equal parts. The two grapes really complement each other, playing off berries and cherries, earth and olive, acid and tannin to create a seamless and complex whole. Medium-bodied and nicely balanced. ——P.G.(12/1/2009)—— 89
