Awards & Reviews Archive

Bright and fresh, as a California Sauvignon Blanc should be.
Grapefruit and Key lime carry the palate, but passion fruit, herbal
pea-shoot flavors, and hints of
olive add interest.

Rated 94 points by judges at the California State Fair and awarded the Best of Class for Napa Valley.

This crowd pleaser is rich in tropical fruit, buttered toast, caramelized oak and vanilla flavors. It has a spicy, creamy texture, and is thoroughly balanced. It's a flamboyant Chard that doesn't tire the palate. - Steve Heimoff

A ripe but firm, balanced Cabernet. The black current and cassis flavors mesh well with the oak and soft tannins, leading to real elegance. Drinks well now, but should hold for a good 10 years, if not longer. Cellar Selection. - Steve Heimoff

Here's a well-oaked Cab that shows the winery's traditional preference for balance over power. It's not a blockbuster Napa Cab, but a subtle, harmonious one, with an elegant interplay of fruit and tannins. Drink now and over the next several years. - Steve Heimoff

World-Class Cabernet, made in the modern style. It's softly textured, with melted tannins and low acidity. Black currants, cassis, cherries, milk chocolate and spices come together and last through a long finish. - Steve Heimoff

21 of 83 Cabernets $50 and over are recommended by the Chronicle. Our Vintage Selection contains "aromas of plum, cherry, blackberry, talcum, earth and cedar; raspberry, cherry, cassis, coffee, oak and soft coating tannins on the palate; easy to drink; moderate finish."

Sliced apple aromas coupled with vanilla extract and clove notes. Supple and ripe with layers of cinnamon, nutmeg, apple and nectarine flavors. An opulent wine with honey and toasted oak punctuating the finish.

Spicy, herbal aromas of plum, pencil, clove and smoke. Sweet, crisp flavors of blackberry, maple and gravel. Ripe fruit lifts the otherwise tight close.
