Notes from winemaker Philippe Melka :

Opulent, vibrant, onctueux on the palate - this is the definition of pleasure.

Drinking beautifully already with great integration of flavors of rich dark notes, coffee, nutmeg, sage and ripe raspberry - full of minerality and vibrancy so reminiscent of the site. This wine is more delicate and seductive than the previous vintages.

VinousThe 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is powerful, dense and explosive. Dark red cherry, rose petal, mint, smoke, licorice, dark spices and menthol all come alive in the glass. Dramatic and ample on the palate, the 2014 exudes personality. This is one of the most impressive debuts I have seen in Napa Valley in some time.

Wine AdvocateThe 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate comes from the Crystal Springs area of Napa, just below Cakebread Cellars. The wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and exhibits beautiful blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, a touch of wood smoke and charcoal, licorice and underbrush. It is round, juicy, ripe, medium to full-bodied, with silky tannin and adequate acidity. Drink it over the next 15-20 years. Drink Date: 2016-2036.

The Wine Advocate 94-97 The 2015 Syrah The Tribe Vineyard is also gorgeous, with lots of gravely/mineral notes intermixed with pepper, beef broth, currants and spice. It’s slightly more structured and tense than the Sur Echalas Vineyard, but has a similar level of purity, precision and length. –Jeb Dunnuck

Continuum Continuum 2015
Continuum Continuum 2015
Winery Notes: The dark, rich core of the 2015 Continuum has aromas of cacao, black currant,   cardamom and savory wild herb. On the palate it is layered and supple, revealing black cherry and  roast espresso notes intertwined with mountain minerals and a hint of tangy orange spice. The wine  is lush with ripe chocolaty tannins that lead to a long, expressive finish. 2015, though small in  volume, is a mighty vintage for Continuum; one to savor today or age and appreciate for decades to  come.

Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV
Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV
Winery Notes: This wine has a unique pale silver-pink hue. Aromas of raspberries,   cherries and a few secondary whiffs of minerality. A lively mousse, but  fine in the mouth, with subtle red berry flavours enlivened by bright  acidity. Brisk, yet delicate on the palate, bursting with flavours of freshly  crushed berries and hints of oyster shell. Flirtatious and fun, yet elegant  and structured, it’s perfect for all seasons and settings.

Warre's Vintage Port 2011
Winery Notes: Warre's Vintage wines combine elegance, length and balance whilst still retaining the underlying rich opulence of great Vintage Port. One of the best pairings with Vintage Port is cheese (cream cheese, blue cheese and cured cheese) but it can also be enjoyed alongside many desserts, or simply on its own.

Galerie Pleinair Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Galerie Pleinair Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Winemaker Notes : Pleinair presents Laura’s interpretation of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The name refers to the French painters’ method of painting outdoors (en plein air), which developed around the same time as Napa’s first European-style vineyards in the 1800s. Laura blends fruit from vineyards with diverse soil types to bring complexity and depth to the finished wine, which shows rich black fruit, spice and floral notes with a firm tannin structure and balanced acidity. The 2014 Galerie Napa Valley Pleinair is a big but elegant expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa. Deep purple, it opens with aromas of cassis, currants and wild berries and follows with tobacco, graphite, bay leaf and licorice, finishing with layers of flavors and a well-balanced, long mouthfeel with elegant tannins.
