2023 Hero Twins Cabernet Sauvignon
99 Points – Owen Bargreen
“The 2023 ‘Hero Twins’ is all Clone 2 estate Cabernet Sauvignon from the Upchurch Vineyard. Stored in all new French oak (Taransaud and Icon), this comes together beautifully on the nose with gorgeous red and dark florals alongside cedar, Asian spices and suggestions of dark chocolate shavings. The palate is utterly stunning as this glides throughout the drinking experience with loads of mouth-watering acidity and fabulous flavor density. This will easily be a 20-year wine. Drink 2026-2046”

99 Points – Anthony Mueller
“A touch more mineral-driven, the 2023 Hero Twins is brilliant but still shy at the moment, yet it will be unstoppable with time. It is immaculate, full-bodied, round, and still tightly wound, promising to slowly release its secrets. It is a delicate masterpiece and a fantastic example of the chateau. Complex and still firm, this wine will undoubtedly showcase an indispensable finesse and richness without being overbearing. It will be phenomenal in 10-15 years, possessing all the elegance, grace, and precision of a world-class first growth. Proving that a great wine doesn’t have to be bigger and bolder to be better, this stunning wine will stand the test of time. Pure elegance and finesse in the making! Just be patient and give it time. Bravo! Drink 2028-2067”

Fantastic wines and host!! Highly recommend this lovely winery and setting to anyone in the area or passing through. We drove 6 hrs to get there and it was totally worth it!!

Great family-owned winery. Stopped by on a day they were closed. The owners saw me out in the vineyard taking pictures and invited me in for a quick tasting before a special event. Great customer service.

We were fortunate enough to meet the owners Chris and Theadora. They were so accommodating and gracious hots. We learned a lot about their wine and fell more in love with red mountain. This was definitely our favorite of the vineyards we visited. Amazing people, amazing wine.

This is one of the best experiences we have had at a winery. Our server Andy was super knowledgeable of the region and the owners Chris and Thea were an absolute joy to get to know. The wines were out of this world too! This will be a stop for us every time we visit the area!

First and foremost, the wine is amazing! Couple that with great wine club events and Chris and Thea (winemaker/owners) being beyond welcoming and genuine I am so happy with my decision to join the wine club. I volunteered to help with bottling last spring and that was the catalyst to me becoming part of the Upchurch family. Highly recommend!

Wonderful wines! Love the family story and the property is beautiful. They’re also certified sustainable which is cool! The thought and care from vine to glass is obvious. Can’t wait to go back!
