NOSE The interplay of cassis, vanilla, and black cherry are quite complimentary but also dynamic; shifting to fresh blueberry with a hint of tobacco. These, in turn, are buttressed by dark chocolate, mocha, and a slight suggestion of sweet oak.
PALATE Silky, fine-grain tannins vie with vibrant acidity that slowly expose the rich, ripe raspberry and blackberry notes that dominate the mid palate. While the fruit is lush and mouthcoating, some patience will unveil the subtle layers of anise, smoke, and earth hidden beneath. FINISH The finish extends the density and structure as cloves and cinnamon combine with nuances of briar and flint yielding an extraordinarily food-friendly wine

One bottle 2018 Hawkes Pyramid Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemaker's note:
The Pyramid is a winemaker's darling of a vineyard. It is named for its steep and terraced hills. The vineyard is rocky and rugged with spectacular views in every direction. It's a unique site at the crux of three appelations, where steepness and exposure of the vineyard lead the Pyramid Single Vineyard to be dark and intense in every vintage. Darkness and power are never lacking in Cabernet from the Pyramid. The challenge here is balance. The 2018 is a brooding, tightly wound vintage. The signature aroma and flavor of Santa Rosa plum are immediately apparent in the 2018 Pyramid but so are other non-fruit elements: coffee, baking chocolate, a touch of fennel and coriander. Great acid for wine with so much extraction. It somehow manages to feel both dense and bright on the palate. It's a pleasure to drink the 2018 right now but it also feels like a bit of shame. It needs time to smooth out and open up. Drink 2024 through 2030.
One bottle 2019 Hawkes Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemakers note:
Our Alexander Valley Estate Cabernet is always one hundred percent varietal and always a blend of fruit from all three of the vineyards we farm. We don't aim to make the same wine every year; we aim to make the best wine possible every year. And that means our Estate Cabernet changes from vintage to vintage. The through line is balance. The 2019 shows loads of dark fruit both in the aroma and on the palate; I get black cherry and plum and blackberry. But this is not a ponderous, top-heavy wine. The acid is bright and the tannins are long and lean. Complex but very, very drinkable (now through 2030)

Oakville Ranch began its 30th anniversary year with an ideal spring of mild temperatures and consistent rains. Favorable weather persisted throughout a moderate summer with steady temperatures, allowing a no-pressure harvest and fully ripe grapes with mature tannins and natural balance.

On the palate, this wine is silky and concentrated, with lush, layered flavors of raspberry and sweet herbs, showing the distinctive character of their Summit Block Cabernet Franc and a picture-perfect vintage.
Value: $139
Generous aromas of black cherries and currants are at the heart of our 2019 nth DEGREE Merlot. Deliciously deep and focused, the juicy and satisfying fruit unfolds with layers of rich and sweet chocolatey oak, but a touch of decanting on this youthful and exuberant wine will reveal additional layers of graphite, maple, and nutmeg with a hint of Livermore dust.

Parsonage Tanner Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
The power of the nose announces with authority what to expect on the palate. The bouquet is blackberry, blueberry, black currant/cassis, with a hint of cardamom and a back-note of Parsonage terroir signature, wildflower perfume. All of these flavors show up abundantly on the palate with hints of ripe tobacco leaf and leather, framed by massively and delightfully supple tannins.
Kermit Lynch 2018 Gewurtztraminer Reserve
All grapes are harvested by hand and no fining. After pressing, cold settling before fermentation begins and fermentation is is all natural. Vinified in stainless steel. A blend from Heimbourg and Pfoeller (limestone terroir). Its perfumed style is somewhat polarizing; fans adore its intense floral scent and sweet-spice flavors, while detractors lament its low acidity and lack of subtlety. Value: $147

Winemaker Notes
Sourced from primarily cooler appellations within Napa Valley, this 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon shows bright red berry fruits on the nose, alongside delicate floral notes of lavender and violet. Baking spice notes of caramel, black pepper, and clove also come through an indication of the well-integrated oak character. On the palate, juicy cassis, blackberry, and red cherry are supported by hints of delicate red rose, tobacco leaf, and earthy forest floor, giving this Cabernet a richness and layered texture. Crispy, firm tannins provide a pleasurable mouthfeel with refreshing fruit and balanced acidity, developing into a long, smooth, dry finish. Incredibly approachable upon release, this dazzling Cabernet can be paired well alongside a variety of culinary dishes.
Winemaker Notes Aromas of black cherry and ripe plum are layered with vanilla and baking spice. Concentrated dark fruit flavors culminate in a lush, full mouthfeel and a lengthy finish.
Value: $110
Winemaker Notes Rich, vibrant, creamy, and expressive, this well-balanced, luscious Chardonnay is classically Californian with aromas of citrus blossom, lemon curd, honeysuckle, and creme brulee, supported by flavors of tropical fruits, like pineapple, mango, and tangerine. A delicate touch of well-integrated oak shows notes of brioche and apple pie spice, leading to a pleasing, mouth-watering lengthy finish.
Once a year, Stephen delivers this specialty red just in time for the holidays. Packed with swirls of brambly winter berries and dark, plummy decadence. Stephen gives his best-selling Cab a little extra oomph with a touch of oaky spice and a velvety punch from a splash of Cabernet Franc. Aside from impressing, Magnum bottles age more gently with a better air-to-volume ratio. But these limited bottles are as rare as Stephen's winter red, so if you want this top-rated stunner, you've got to grab it fast!
