Perfumed with green-apple aromas and with a palate touched by pineapple as well as citrus flavors, this attractive wine is just now ready to drink. Freshness is balanced by plenty of ripe flavors.

Enticing scents of woodland berry, new leather, blue flower and baking spice meld together in the glass. The focused yet full-bodied palate delivers raspberry, Marasca cherry, clove and a hint of dried herb. Velvety tannins and fresh acidity provide framework and balance.

Dark berry and savory aromas leading to a palate brimming with red raspberry, dried cherry, plum, and herbs. There’s plenty of rich, velvety ripe fruit in this medium-bodied red, however, it also offers just the right amount of rustic savory notesto balance the fruit and remind you that you’re sipping on a bit of Tuscany.

Arcanum is the pinnacle of the estate’s offerings. Based on Cabernet Franc, the true signature of the estate, this remarkable wine is built to age yet is drinkable young, offering aromas of violets, roses and raspberries, with long and delicate spice notes; it is a wine that is seductive yet subtle. Arcanum is sourced primarily from the L’Apparita and Belvedere blocks of Cabernet Franc. With superb exposure and sandy clay soils, each year these blocks shine to produce the finest expression of the variety, and the leading wine of the estate.

Intense red-clay and blackberry aromas with brambleberries and mushrooms, too. Full-bodied, soft and round, yet the tannins pull you in with their power. Pretty depth and intensity.

Composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot coming from the younger vines of Smith Haut Lafitte, the 2015 Le Petit Haut Lafitte sports a medium garnet-purple color and an alluring crushed red currants, black cherries and spice box-laced nose with touches of cloves and lavender. Medium to full-bodied with wonderful generosity and plenty of spice, the open-for-business flavors are well-supported by plush tannins, and it finishes with a peppery lift.

A constant play between sweet and savory. Gentle and dusty tannins lead the way into an incredibly long and precise finish. Mulberry sweetness and a wonderful tension between tannic structure and bright acidity. Balanced and refined Paring Red. A study in elegance.

Our 2017 La Storia Cabernet Sauvignon has a dense ruby-purple color followed by abundant varietal aromas and flavors of blueberries, blackberry and black licorice with hint of herbs and ripe olives. The predominately French oak aging contributes aromas of vanilla, cocoa dust and slight toast.

A full-bodied red with so much ripe berry and plum fruit that it verges on jammy, yet it turns out velvety and delicious...A blend of cabernet franc, merlot, sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon, petite verdot, syrah, and alicante

 The wine is intense on the nose and expresses a great deal of complexity and fine nuances, with delicate restraint: aromas of black fruits, spices (liquorice) delicately allied with more mineral, bloody notes. The final impression is one of more smoky aromatic notes (fireplace, soot, etc). On the palate, the wine is full and finely structured by coated tannins. The mouthfeel is powerful, well-balanced with lovely freshness and a lingering finish.

This Cabernet is deep ruby in color with massive extraction and great density. The nose opens with huge intensity, great depth, and lots of layers.

The palate entry opens smoothly and builds predictably with big, firm (but not coarse) tannin, good acid balance and lots of structure. There is a great progression from ripe, sweet cherry and plum fruit up-front to rich, dried black fruit and spice on the finish – with the vanilla and spice from the barrel layering in seamlessly. 

This vintage was much more like 2018, and it does show that citrusy thrust and terrific fragrance. Yet this 2019 weds that feeling with some of the textural roundedness and pink guava flavors of the 2017. Expect a punchy display of white cherry, tangerine and flowers, with subtle leesiness and tropicality.

Very beautiful pale golden color, clear and bright. The nose is very expressive and evokes citrus (grapefruit), white fruits (pear) and exotic (lychee and pineapple) with floral notes of boxwood, juniper, and laurel. Well balanced with a pleasant liveliness which extends long in a very tasty finish.

This is a very beautiful red with currant and berry character. Very fine and polished tannins, too. The impact is just so polished and focused. Linear and exciting. A barrel sample but should be great.

A salty and minerally white with bright creamy fruit, lots of lemons and a dried-apple character. Full-bodied, yet vibrant and linear. Super long and long. Light malo and only 50% new wood. Think Chablis in Napa Valley. The Antica Napa Valley 2018 “A26” Chardonnay is notably complex and perfumed with its core fruit flavors of ripe white peach, apricot, and subtle apple flavors.  The wine gains richness on the finish with its complimentary toasty spice notes and minerality, yet ends with a sensational and persistent finish.
 

The Bin 6410 Pinot Noir exudes roasted hazelnut tones on the nose but it is closely followed by the signature aromas of blackberry,cherry,and raspberry fruit for which this wine is known.

This blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache is snappy on the nose with black raspberry sorbet, fennel and cola spice. The palate captures the freshness of boysenberry pie and hibiscus while also delivering richer baking-spice flavors.

Toasty aromas of sea-salt-dusted brioche, charred peach and a touch of butterscotch show on the nose of this single-vineyard expression. There is a great zing to the texture of the palate, where fresh lime-skin flavors cut through the rich buttered toast and apple-jam flavors.

The aromas blend bright cherries and blueberries with a subtle and distinguished earthiness expressed as dried oregano, white pepper and black tea. An engaging, seductive texture is supported with a backbone of French oak and finely- grained tannins.

A touch of yeast still clings to the zesty grapefruit aromas on the nose. The palate is light and has similar freshness, as well as a touch of tropicality, with the slightest hint of mango. The finish is dry and fresh.

This beautifully concentrated, smoky version falls right down the middle in terms of body and features exotic notes of clove and star anise. The palate here is silky and soft, showing expressive layers of black currant, blackberry and red cherry fruit.

In step with their other Chardonnays, there's a voluminous feel here; flavors of pear and just ripe apricot come on with a gentle clinging richness, but stay light footed thanks to salty acidity from a background streak of preserved lemon. Aromatically it shows what's becoming classic Puerta del Mar chalkiness, laced with lemongrass, fruit blossoms and vanilla that will pull your attention into the glass.

This perfect summer wine has aromas of grapefruit and fresh cut strawberries. The palate reflects these flavors as well while still being acid-driven with hints tangerine oil and watermelon rind.

Now in their second year with this organically farmed vineyard, they are certain that the move to Clarksburg was a good one. This vintage is slightly more savory than the 2017, but the acid is a little higher too. No doubt, California Chenin Blanc, but pure and straight on. Like 17, a textural wine, lush in the nose, lean on the palate.

A glass of this will strike you with aromas of fresh white stone fruits and flowers, wet rocks and lime zest, and there's a curious anise-y kind of spiciness that comes out after a year or two in the bottle. On the palate it swells with texture before pulling into a focused, mouthwatering finis. 

The 2018 Ojai McGinley Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is consistent with its notes of pithy citrus and a strikingly stony minerality. Aromas are arresting and super delineated, gravelly core, smoky lees, and clean airy notes of citrus blossoms, green melon and savory marjoram.

Pleasant aromas of green Pippin apple, pineapple juice, and almond blossom. This wine warms your palate with flavors of pleasant Granny Smith apple, soft citrus, fresh tangerines, and ripe stone fruit. It finishes long and refreshing."

This wine captures some of that asparagus-like character often found in Sancerre and combines it with enough New World citrus fruit to be pretty darn tasty. Medium to full-bodied, it shows some vegetal notes, yet it balances those with generosity and concentration on the palate, and attractive grapefruit flavors emerge on the lingering finish.

A very spicy and fresh array of blueberries, ripe darker cherries and plums. Cassis aromas, too, as well as more savory notes of graphite and fragrant wood. The palate has very striking depth and presence with expansive, fleshy tannins carrying intense fruit flavors, in the darker spectrum of cherries and berries. Cocoa powder to close. 

This offers a well-integrated mix of fruit and barrel flavors, blackberries, black cherry, mocha and coffee. The ripe and focused tannins add notes of espresso and toasted hazelnuts; the wine is a sheer joy to drink.

Aromatically the wine has notes of ripe and under-ripe red and black fruits, vanilla, and dash of pepper. The palate is full, with smooth tannins, red and black fruits, and a finishing kick of red pepper flakes. 

Deep red. Fresh red berry and candied rose scents are lent urgency by mineral and peppery spice notes. Juicy and incisive on the palate, offering gently sweet raspberry, cherry and spicecake flavors that demonstrate an appealing marriage of power and finesse. 

The aromatic impact it has is great. It has hints of white fruits, citrus bottomed, melted butter and a little balsamic. Palate is elegant and fresh. It highlights a peculiar vanilla, really nice flavor that lingers after drinking it for a long period of time. Acidity and sweetness are in perfect balance.

Ravagnola is a clay-limestone hillside located by the sea. This Vermentino is fresh, yet has a remarkable density of flavor.

Vibrant red robe. Intense nose of spices, red fruits and vanilla. Medium-bodied in the mouth with red cherries, cassis, and lightly grilled oak flavors. Silky tannins and nice long finish.
