RATINGS

94Robert M. Parker Jr.

Sensational aromas of smoke, meat, bouquet garni, lead pencil shavings, creme de cassis, and asphalt soar from the glass of this explosively aromatic red.

92Wine Spectator

Enticing spice, wild berry and blackberry fruit is pure, crisp and layered, with touches of mineral, clean leather, tobacco and sage-herbal scents. Full-bodied, balanced, complex and elegant, with firm tannins.

90Stephen Tanzer

Fresh aromas of crushed berries, smoked meat and pepper, with a rocky quality contributing lift. Juicy and spicy but with a bit less density and fat than the Petite Sirah bottling.

PRODUCER

Erna Schein

Erna Schein is made by Behrens Family Winery in St. Helena. The winery is owned by Les Behrens and Lisa Drinkward, a couple with backgrounds as restaurateurs and wine experts. In the early 1990s the couple decided to try making wine, and they teamed up with Bob and Lily Hitchcock. Together the two couples formed Behrens & Hitchcock. In 2005 the Hitchcock’s retired and Behrens and Drinkward bought them out, renaming their winery Behrens Family Winery. The name Erna Schein is in memory of Les Behrens’ mother. The estate makes Cabernet Sauvignon blends.
