    2004 Cabernet Franc - "Moonlight"

    • 87 points and described as "Bright and forward in Cab Franc cherry fruit, this dry wine shows plenty of polish and sophistication.  Besides the cherry flavors, the other notable feature here is tannins.  They're of the sticky, astringent kind, but by no means unpleasant.  This is a wine that simply calls for very rich steak, to break down and soften it." by the WINE ENTHUSIAST November 1, 2007

    2003 Mare Nectaris - Paso Robles

    • 90 point rating and described as "This is Midnight's most expensive red, a blend of all five Bordeaux reds.  Like its other '04 reds, it shows great poise and balance, with very ripe fruit in equilibrium with strong tannis, new oak and just-so acidity.  The reult is just fine.  Midnight has been quietly working at its reds for years, and it shows."  by the WINE ENTHUSIAST November 1, 2007

    • Bronze Medal - San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition January 2008
    • 87 points and described as "Fifty-fifty Zin and Syrah, this is classic Paso Robles rustic-chic red wine.  It's dry and soft in acidity, with a slightly rough mouthfeel framing intensely ripe berry, cherry and tobacco fruit.  If the flavor was more concentrated, the score would rise dramatically." by the WINE ENTHUSIAST November 1, 2007
