Fodor's "Tours, private tastings, and food-wine pairings elevate the experience." Full review
Fodor's "The placid, well-appointed, Tudor-modern Geyserville facility of the same-named Napa Valley winery produces just one wine each year: a taut, robust, well-balanced Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Alexander Valley facility in the small town of Geyserville produces a less expensive, heavier wine; while the Napa Valley address ages the wine an additional year, offering subtle complexity." Full review
Fodor's "The Sonoma County operation of the same-named Napa Valley winery produces just one wine each year: a robust, well-balanced Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon." Full review
Fodor's "At the Oakville tasting room, constructed out of reclaimed stone and other materials from a 19th-century Kansas flour mill, you can sip the current Napa Valley vintage." Full review
Frommer's "Back in business after a 2006 fire had them hawking their wares out of a temporary tasting room, this remodeled winery has long produced a renowned go-to cabernet for label-conscious big spenders." Full review

Fodor's "Phelps wines have always garnered praise for their expression of terroir (the land and microclimate), and the ascetic quality of the ones made here mirrors the rugged terrain. " Full review
Fodor's "Phelps does produce fine whites, but the blockbusters are red, particularly the Cabernet Sauvignon and the luscious-yet-subtle Bordeaux-style blend called Insignia. " Full review
Travel + Leisure "The main tasting room is reminiscent of a modern barn with views overlooking the estate valley. " Full review
Frommer's "A favorite stop for serious wine lovers, primarily due to their ever-popular and expensive Insignia wine...the three excellently located picnic tables, on the terrace overlooking the valley" Full review
