95 Points, Wine Spectator's #8 Wineof the Year 2025! Offers beautifully rendered notes of hibiscus, rose petal, damson plum and mulberry that stretch out lengthily thanks to the fine-beaded acidity and taut, precise tannins. The sapid finish lets in tea and incense hints amid the glistening fruit. Best from 2026 through 2036. - Wine Spectator

97 Points! Complex aromas of iron, iodine, raspberries, blue fruit, mussel shells, lemongrass and orange peel. Medium- to full-bodied with crunchy fruit and a lightly chewy finish. A barrel selection of the best wines of the vintage. A little tight now, but it opens in the glass. Drink or hold. - JamesSuckling.com

A wine of utmost intensity, rewarding careful cellaring. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec. Alan’s Cabernet Pressings is made in exactly the same way as Alan’s Cabernet, but it is the very last drops of wine to be squeezed from the skins in the basket press. This process often takes all night. Our press gently squeezes the skins under a lower pressure. The wine dribbles and drips into a bucket which is then poured into a heavy toasted French oak barrel made of oak from the Troncais forest. The resulting wine is liquid gold, and is either bottled on its own, or is the driving force behind Duck Muck. Learn More

92 Points! The 1999 Springflat Shiraz has dense, opaque purple color, a real intense, minty, creme de cassis nose, with some spicy new oak. The wine is certainly not shy at 15.3% alcohol, but the power is well-harnessed, and the wine is primarily a big, full-bodied, thick, juicy fruit bomb with plenty of texture, purity, and length. It should drink well for 7-8 years, perhaps longer. - Robert Parker, robertparker.com June 2001
