Marietta Armé Bordeaux Blend
The Estate Cabernet Sauvignon comes from our vineyards in Alexander Valley and McDowell Valley. Harvested in late September and early October and fermented for three weeks at temperatures in the 70s, these grapes yielded deep, intense wine that conveys a taut freshness with great aromatic purity. Balanced between modern California and Old World, this wine is dense with buckets of black currant and cherry that are tempered with a dusty herbaceous quality. Built to age and best with food.
The 2016 Armé is another superb wine in the middle tier of the Marietta range. Fresh, savory and super- expressive, the Armé has a lot going on. Black cherry, sage, lavender, menthol and licorice give the wine striking savory nuance to play off the dark Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. More than anything else, though, the Armé is a superb value in California Cabernet.

Martin Ray Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
The Martin Ray Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon opens with notes of black berry, mulberry, with black currant, dried mountain sage, and cedar. A striking mineral-driven backbone with touches of graphite, backed by fleshy acidity, and powerful tannins.
This full-bodied wine shines alongside prime rib roast with horseradish mashed potatoes and caramelized balsamic onions.
"Very typical for this area of Napa with conifer, pine needles, fresh herbs and currants on the nose, following through to a full body with lots of fruit and a pleasing edge of toasted oak and Spanish cedar. The alcohol comes out a little at the end, but it should balance out nicely with bottle age." 95 Points James Suckling

Matthiasson
Matthiasson Dead Fred Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Producer Notes:
Despite the California drought, the 2014 vintage received enough well-timed spring rain, so the wine is not overly structured, instead it has beautiful balance between structure and softness. The vineyard always has a signature of black fruits and graphite, very full, yet light and mineral (“weight without heaviness”). This special wine will develop for many years.
Each label was hand stamped with the name of the vineyard by our younger son Kai when he was 14 years old.

Beguiling now, the 2017 will charm your cellar for years to come.
"This offers blackberry, boysenberry and açaí berry compote flavors that sparkle with anise, sassafras and sage accents. Shows serious tarry grip, but that recedes into the fruit as this airs in the glass, leaving embers of singed juniper and alder at the very end. Best from 2023 through 2040." 95 Points Wine Advocate

O'Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is blended of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec, 5% Merlot, 3% St. Macaire, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it reveals notions of scorched earth, tar, tilled black soil and fungi over a core of blackcurrant cordial, aniseed, dark chocolate and espresso plus a waft of tobacco. Full-bodied, concentrated and very earthy in the mouth, the rich, black fruits are superbly framed by firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and mineral laced."- Wine Advocate

Our 2017 Proprietary Red Napa Valley is a cellar-worthy wine that will reward patience over the next decade or more.

Penfolds California Collection Bin 704
Bin 704 seeks to redefine Napa Valley cabernet through a Penfolds lens, being mindful of varietal nuances, regional essence and silk-like textural definition. Deep understanding of terroir and mastery of technique come together in this unparalleled style of Cabernet Sauvignon. A mirror image of Bin 407, which showcases Napa Valley fruit through the lens of Penfolds winemaking traditions.
Bin 704 named to honor its Australian counterpart, Bin 407, a 100 percent Cabernet expression—is every inch the solo artist: ripe, with dark cherry and rich chocolate. It’s a wholly California wine yet it showcases the integrated oak and tannins that characterize Penfolds’ vintages.
"This is the first vintage of the Australian producer’s foray into Napa Valley. It is tightly structured yet supple, bursting in bright currant and strawberry flavors. Savory components of sage, dried herb and black pepper dot the palate alongside silky tannins and chocolate-laced richness. A fresh touch of blood orange arises on the finish. *Cellar Selection*" 96 Points Wine Enthusiast
