Wine Spectator
91 points received for our 2006 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon:
"Focused, with a pulsing core of currant, plum and tobacco flavors nicely framed by spicy, earthy notes, lingering on the generous, expressive finish. Drink now through 2016. 400 cases made. –HS"
Wine Spectator
91 points received for our 2005 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon:
"Firm in texture, with complex green olive, black olive, blackberry and spice flavors that remain focused and juicy as the finish persists impressively. Best from 2010 through 2015. 290 cases made.--H.S."

Wine Enthusiast
92 points received for 2005 Estate Syrah in March 2009 issue:
"A great effort, with mountain-grown fruit, high-altitude acids that give the flavors shape and cut, tightening up and brightening up the sharp, wild berry fruit. Iron filings and stone add a strong mineral element as well; this is the best yet from Dumas Station.--P.G. "

Wine Advocate
89 points for our first release--a 2003 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon:
"This is the first release for Dumas Station, a winery located in the Walla Walla Valley AVA. Purple-colored, the 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate has an excellent nose of cedar, spice box, cassis, and black currants. Made in a forward style with supple texture and ripe fruit, this tasty Cabernet can be enjoyed now and should continue to drink well through 2007.--J.M"
