"The 2021 Big Easy is fabulous. In fact, this is one of the finest editions I have tasted of Fess Parker's Grange-inspired wine. Succulent red-toned fruit, mint, plum, rose petal and a kiss of new American oak build into the heady, sumptuous finish." -AG, Jul/2024

"Dark, plummy fruit aromas are layered in toasted herb and peppercorn on the complex nose of this bottling. The palate is fresh with dark red and purple fruits that ride a lively acidity through a toasted nut midpalate and a peppercorn finish." -MK, 12/31/24
