2020 UV Counterpart - 96 Points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
"Made from 87% Merlot with 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2020 Counterpart is fresh, finessed and layered on the complex nose. Aromas of black cherries, spiced plum and a delightful mineral essence waft from the glass with a dusty frame of black raspberry, while impressive oak essences of cinnamon and cardamom entice and seduce the nose. Full-bodied, the wine is still tight, with a focused frame, pure and succulent tannins and energetic acidity, all brilliantly balanced and matched. The palate continues to somersault with a delicate mineral tension before offering elegant and pure oak essences over the long, lingering, juicy finish. The wine rested in all-new French oak barrels. Only 4,560 bottles were made. Bravo."
2021 UV Counterpart - 95 Points, Owen Bargreen
"The 2021 Upchurch Vineyard ‘Counterpart’ is a beautiful effort from this challenging vintage. The 100% Merlot was stored in nearly all New French Oak (Taransaud & Orion) prior to bottling. The toasty oak is beautiful with dark chocolate, dark rose petals, Asian spices and cassis notes. The palate is plush and refined with a serious sense of richness and flavor density. A gorgeous Merlot that is built to age, with loamy soil character, this is a total stunner that is the finest I have tasted from this house yet. Drink 2024-2042"
2022 UV Counterpart - 95 Points, Owen Bargreen
"2022 Upchurch Vineyard ‘Counterpart’ is all Merlot from the Upchurch Estate Vineyard on Red Mountain. The nose is gorgeous with exotic spices and tar notes that combine with figs and shades of espresso grounds. The palate is big and broad-shouldered with serious verve, richness and underlying tension. Beautifully structured, brimming with acidity, enjoy now and over the next ten to fifteen years. Drink 2025-2040"
