2006 Buty Rediviva Phinny Hill Vineyard Horse Heaven Hills...$47.99
This first estate-grown bottling of Rediviva is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Syrah. Amazing aromatic complexity grabs you and leads you into the dark interior of the wine, a riot of red and black fruits, moist earth, smoke, anise, herb and toast. Power and elegance combined, with the structure to age for a decade or more. - P.G. (3/1/2010) - 96 "
Rated 96/100 The Wine Enthusiast
This ripe red offers an open texture that lets the flavors of boysenberry, cherry and spice shoot through easily, expanding and lingering on the long, expressive finish. There's lots of flavor, but this isn't weighty. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Best from 2011 through 2016. 930 cases made. –HS
Rated 93/100 The Wine Spectator
Velvety-textured and elegant on the palate, it is not as layered and richly fruity as the 2006 Columbia Rediviva, a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Syrah. Smoked meat, sausage, lavender, and black currant aromas lead to a ripe, sweetly fruited wine already revealing complex flavors as well as a lengthy finish. Drink it over the next 8-10 years.

2008 Buty Sémillon-Sauvignon-Muscadelle....$23.99
"Beautifully floral, fragrant and evocative, with lush and complex aromas of honeycomb, cracker and citrus, carrying into the mouth with rich, bright, detailed flavors. Stone and mineral elements are woven throughout, and the barrel fermentation adds hints of toast. - P.G. (3/1/2010) - 95"
