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.

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.

Horsepower The Tribe 2015
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
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.

Foxen Santa Maria Pinot Noir 2015
 A very pretty and attractively fresh nose features essence of red cherry, raspberry and soft lavender notes. I like the sense of vibrancy to the nicely detailed flavors that terminate in a refreshing and dusty finish where a hint of bitter cherry appears. Delicious and gulpable in the best sense.

The Florist Wines The Peony Pinot Noir 2016
Winemaker Notes, Jessica Boone: What I love most about “The Peony” is the juxtaposition of femininity on the nose, balanced with a broad depth of palate. The aromatics showcase red cherry, dried raspberry, and bottlebrush, while the palate brings layered elegant supple tannin boasting hints of baking cocoa, cedar, and cinnamon. This blend lingers on the palate, not with a heavy hand, but with elegance and velvety weight. This Pinot pairs beautifully with food, but also goes lovely with great friends and good conversation. 242 cases of this blend were made.

Albert Bichot Fixin Rouge 2015
Winemaker Notes : This red Fixin has a very attractive ruby red color. Delicate and discreet, the nose has subtle notes of woodland undergrowth. Fleshy and robust, this crisp and oaky wine has harmonious balance. The finish is persistent with light spicy notes. This wine can beautifully accompany braised beef, couscous and tajine dishes, game and roast pork with onions. Also great with a chicken and olive tajine, stewed boar cooked in red wine as well as strong mature cheeses such as époisses or munster.
