What reviewers say
“Vivino Heads, forgive me, as for the past two years I was off in Whisky land! The thing that’s so good about this wine is, it’s not bad. It’s certainly not the “Nectar of the Gods,” however it is far from a unpleasant experience. Tonight I’ve enjoyed this with one half of a Romeo Y Julieta ( part of my new hoarding passion) and a cacophony of brood x cicadas. Hint of plumbs and blueberry’s. Open a couple of hours before consuming. For the price available, I look forward to grabbing a few cases.”

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Hook or Crook Reserve Field Blend lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · United States (1,156 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 1,098.
