The estate makes a limited amount of wine, which is hard to find, given the critic's usual high regard for Alban's Syrahs, Grenaches, Mourvedres and Viogniers. Robert M. Parker Jr. calls Alban Vineyards \"the great shining success story of Edna Valley,\" adding that the estate \"is a stunning source for terrific wines.\" Alban also shares some DNA with its famous neighbor in Ventura County, Sine Qua Non.
