The 2013 vintage was fully ripe at harvest, and we let it hang just a bit longer to let the ’jammy-ness’ fully develop. The explosion of fruit and intensity of aroma yields to a complex melange of Black Cherry Cola, Dark Ripe Fruit, Figs, Sweet Pipe Tobacco, Cedar, and Chocolate…with a complexity that lingers on the palette through the incredibly long finish.

Shafer Relentless 2014
Winemaker Notes: Once again our Syrah and Petite Sirah vineyard in the sloping foothills of the Vaca Mountains has yielded a dark, liquid feast of great richness and depth. The first pour offers an endlessly rich density of meaty, smoky, black fruit aromas while the wine saturates the mouth with deep flavors of black licorice, bramble fruit, black pepper, allspice, bacon, and char. All of this opulence is energized with underlying acidity and bound together with structured, ripe tannins built for very long term ageability.

Mount Eden Vineyards Estate Pinot Noir 2014
Martin Ray planted Pinot Noir at Mount Eden in 1945; the budwood came from Paul Masson's original vineyard near Mount Eden. Because Masson was a good friend of the Louis Latour family of Burgundy, it is likely the selection came from one of Latour's vineyards and was brought by Masson to California during the 1880s. The faith Ray demonstrated in this difficult red wine variety, at a time when America had little appreciation of fine wine, was remarkable. Today, Pinot Noir vines occupy seven acres of the estate vineyard and typically yield a meager one to one-and-a-half tons per acre. Pinot Noir is the first variety harvested at Mount Eden, kicking off the vintage season. Using natural yeasts, fermentation is conducted in small open-top fermentors and extends ten to fourteen days, with the must punched down by hand. The new wine is immediately put into 75% new and 25% one-year-old French Burgundy barrels. It matures for 18 months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Nothing is added; nothing is taken away.

Jones Family Vineyard Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Winemaker Note: Much has been said about the 2013 vintage being regarded as one of the finest growing seasons in decades. We were given all the environmental advantages one could hope for to produce remarkable Cabernet Sauvignon. Having worked with this vineyard for the last 6 years, we have a farming strategy that completely maximizes the potential of this exceptional site. Combined with 2013’s exceptional growing conditions, we knew this vintage would bring together a memorable wine in the glass. Tightly packed aromas of blackberry, cinnamon, dark chocolate and graphite swell out of the glass. Over time the palate profile releases layers of crushed blueberries, cassis, and nutmeg. The tannin that frames the rich, decadent notes contributes a strong mineral quality that begins in the middle of the palate and carries through to the long, nuanced finish. This wine has a classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon profile and reflects the pinnacle of winemaking from the Jones Family Vineyards Estate
