Wine Advocate 93
"The 2008 Callejon del Crimen Petit Verdot Gran Reserva is the most dense and full-bodied of these wines. Powerful, structured, and packed with savory black fruits, it will require extended cellaring to reveal its full potential. It seems to have all the right stuff, so for those who think bigger is better, this is the wine for you."~JM
Outstanding value
"Drinking very well at this time, this Petit Verdot is a complete revelation to me. There is plenty of black fruit but with aging it now presents a most pleasant mouth feel and is very well balanced. Tannins are velvety and absorbed into the fruit and there are interesting gentle hints of forest floor, cigar box and saddle leather. It pairs nicely with most food except delicately flavored fish, there is a pleasant 20-30 second finish and all in all it represents a great bargain"
