Accolades

100 PTS. International Wine Report
“The 2021 Prophet & Poet ‘Mountain Sage’ Red Wine is a masterfully composed blend of 62% Malbec, 18% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. The nose is profoundly aromatic, unfolding with crushed black cherries, dried violets, and graphite, intertwined with a hint of eucalyptus and warm earth. Silken tannins frame the richness, offering structure without imposing weight, while nuances of baking spices and dark licorice add complexity. A wine of sheer brilliance, this bottling showcases both the strength and elegance of Alexander Valley’s terroir, cementing its place among the finest expressions of the region. This is a masterclass in winemaking by Jesse Katz. Highly recommended.”
