93 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "[$26 list] The 2022 La Cuadrilla is a blend of Syrah and Grenache with a smaller portion of Mourvèdre. It offers slowly unfurling scents of wild berries, tar, turned earth and wildflowers. The medium-bodied palate is bright and silky, with spicy, earthy fruit and a long, perfumed finish... profits go to the vineyard workers at Stolpman. Drink: 2024-2034. (12/29/23)"
92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "[$26 list] The 2022 La Cuadrilla is a fabulous entry-level wine. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, spice, tobacco and cedar give this light-bodied wine lovely aromatic presence. All the elements are very nicely balanced. The 25% stems are present, but not overpowering. Drink: 2023-2030. (Sep 2023)"
92 points/'Editors' Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "[$26 list] Directed by and benefiting the estate's farm crews each vintage, this blend of 60% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 5% Mourvèdre and 5% Sangiovese offers aromas of blackberry sorbet, scarlet red roses and woodspice on the nose. The palate is focused on a core of jammy berries that are balanced by chalky tannins and an acidic bite. Alcohol 14%. (Mar 2024)"
