Wine AdvocateDeep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon has an enticing earthy/meaty/savory nose with a baked plums and crème de cassis core over chargrill and garrigue hints plus a waft of tapenade. The full-bodied palate is relatively restrained and earthy in nature, featuring muscular fruit and firm, chewy tannins, finishing on a lingering mineral note.

Mending Wall Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Winery Note: With this vintage we aimed for a wine that showed power, depth, grace and accessibility. In the glass, the wine displays a dark sanguine core with a ruby rim. The aromatic notes play lightly in the glass emanating notes of spiced plum, eucalyptus, crushed blueberries, and cocoa powder. The palate experience is where this wine really shines. Notes of kirsch liqueur, clove, cedar, fresh leather, and currant all exist harmoniously making a profile that is fruit focused with a complimentary spicy earth component. This wine is easy to enjoy today and will benefit from a few years in the cellar, ready for a special occasion in the future.

Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 Bottle
The wine offers very showy aromas of black cherry, warm raspberries and a hint of warm toasty vanilla, with undertones of sweet earth and tobacco. Consistent with our best vintages, the entry is broad and velvety, with tannins that are polished enough to enjoy now but a structure that promises good things to those who possess the patience to wait. The finish delivers all the juiciness promised by that intensely fruit-driven nose, and the power and backbone that provide balance.

Turley Juvenile Zinfandel 2016
Winery Notes: Hailing from 24 vineyards in 12 different counties across our beautiful Golden State, the Turley Juvenile sets the standard for classic California Zinfandel. In 2016, we see the first touch of relief from the drought, evident in the more delicate notes of white pepper, floral fruits, and nearly a Burgundy-esque lift on the nose. The palate is a great deal more powerful than the nose would have you believe; resplendent with dark fruits, black pepper and savory smoked spices, topped off by smooth, well-integrated tannins. Rip it & sip it, it’s ready to drink!

Carlisle Montafi Ranch Zinfandel 2016
Medium-dark to dark garnet-ruby. Noticeably darker than the 2015. Interestingly, no discernible eucalyptus aromas in this vintage. Nevertheless, still an utterly compelling nose of red cherry and raspberry highlighted by notes of sage and underbrush. On the palate, the nobility of this great site shines through. Totally seamless. Perfect finish. Hard to ask for anything more from a wine, regardless of variety. While very enjoyable now, given the harmony and balance of this wine, it should age quite well. Drink from release through 2027.

The Florist Russian River Pinot Noir 2016
Winemaker Notes, Jessica Boone: When creating the Florist blend I am looking for intensity of aromatics, and palate, while maintaining balance and life on the finish. For this Russian River gem, I wanted to showcase the depth and weight that exists in this valley. This is a satisfyingly dense Pinot, with briary dark fruit, black plum, and cherry cola on the nose. The palate brings richness and length but has some vivaciousness in the background and finish. This wine has all of the components that I love in Pinot Noir, I hope you love our inaugural release as much as I do!

Lavendette Alpes de Haute Provence Rosé 2017
Winemaker Notes: Pale pink color with an elegant nose reminiscent of fresh berries. This wine is supple and fresh on the palate, with good level of acidity. This rose is produced from traditional regional grapes, including Syrah, a red grape variety, which gives the wine its structure, its color and its aromas of red berries, with a scent of violets. The vineyards of this winery are planted mainly on very dry slopes of Jean Giono in Provence. Viticulture is very respectful of the environment and the wines benefit from modern winemaking technology. Wine production in the Alpes de Haute Provence takes place between Durance to Verdon where grows lavanders. Blend 15% Cinsault, 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah.

Walter Hansel North Slope Pinot Noir 2015
From Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 10/28/16, issue 227: "100% Dijon clone 115, also performed spectacularly, no doubt because of the extremely tiny yields. This wine has a dense purple color, a gorgeously compelling nose of forest floor, spring flowers, blue, red and black fruits, followed by a full-bodied, layered and concentrated Pinot Noir that is as light as a ballerina on the palate, but at the same time, intense and rich. The finish just goes on and on. Drink it over the next decade or more." 810 cases produced.

Bevan Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay 2016
Winery Note: Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay is our consistent stunner. The long, even-growing season in 2016 allowed us to leave the fruit on the vine longer than we normally do. This, combined with the fact that we only got 1.6 tons per acre, allowed the fruit to develop incredibly thick skins, which equates to power and richness. The nose is more Cote du Beaune than any Chardonnay we have ever made, but the mouth is all California. It is oily and layered. Fruit dominates, but there is a minerality to it that also plays a major role. There is also a slight green tint to the wine as we aggressively fought to limit oxygen exposure, so we could capture as much of the wines verve as possible. You can drink her now or wait for five to seven years and she will still be a beauty.

Bevan Dry Stack Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2017
Winemaker Notes: The 2017 Dry Stack Sauvignon Blanc is an incredibly expressive wine already, just weeks in the bottle. The nose is all about the tropics. Pineapple, guava and kiwi dominate. The wine is lively and the glycerin levels are off the chart, giving it a super seductive mid palate. This wine will disappear from your cellar quickly after you open your first bottle.

Louis Sipp Osterberg Grand Cru Gewürztraminer 2010
Winery NotesThis Gewurztraminer 2010 offers a fine and airy nose, of great purity. In the mouth, its richness of attack is immediately balanced by a beautiful frame of freshness typical of the vintage 2010, which confers finesse and length. This mouthfeel is characteristic of Osterberg, a terroir that is particularly successful with Gewurztraminer. A great wine of guard! It is suitable for all rich dishes with character: foie gras, smoked fish, fish sauce, spicy cuisine.

Paradigm Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Winemaker Heidi Peterson Barrett Notes: Another great vintage with the 2013 for Napa Valley Cab! Dark ruby red color with aromas of sweet, toasty oak, cedar, ripe black cherry, currants and spice. Absolutely delicious across the palate. Flavors are big and mouth coating yet so well balanced and silky across the palate. Dense chewy refined tannins in the mid palate with great length and persistent flavors. This is a beauty that will be delicious at release but is also age worthy. Enjoy! 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc.

Baldassari Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2016
Winery Notes: We source our grapes from the Sonoma Coast Viticulture Area. The Sonoma Coast is one of California's best cool climate growing regions. The foggy mornings, chilly evenings and generally cooler temperatures allow heat sensitive varieties like Chardonnay to thrive and develop intense varietal character. This wine has only partial Malolactic Fermentation and the flavors reflect the area where it is grown. Exotic fruit and texture focused around a juicy core of juicy acidity make this wine both delicious and intense in varietal character.
