2017 ASANI LA VIE COOMBSVILLE CABERNET SAUVIGNON
|
|
|
“The 2017 Asani La Vie Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon begins with a perfumed nose of elegant florals and fresh berries, then the palate continues with bright red currant, black plums, sweet raspberries, then finishes with subtle spice, dusty tannins, wet stone, and mouth quenching acidity.”

2019 DETAILS SONOMA COUNTY CABERNET SAUVIGNON
|
|
|
“The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Details is obviously a very young wine, but its freshness and energy are so compelling. Spice, new leather, menthol, licorice and dried herbs are some of the many notes that grace the 2019. Even in the early going, the 2019 is positively stellar. Franc aromatics and a distinct savoriness from the Petit Verdot add so much character. This may be the best vintage yet. I loved it.” 93-95 Points

2016 BIBBIANO VIGNA DEL CAPANNINO GRAN SELEZIONE CHIANTI CLASSICO
|
|
“This red starts out smooth, displaying ripe black cherry and plum flavors, along with earth, iron and woodsy elements. Gains power as this builds on the palate, ending in an extended aftertaste of loam, iron and wild herb accents… 250 cases imported.”

2016 EHLERS ESTATE PORTRAIT PROPRIETARY RED
|
|
|
“Fresh, with a light savory streak amid the red currant and damson plum fruit, giving this a racy, focused profile. Shows a floral nuance in the background and a bright mineral edge on the finish. Relies on precision rather than bombast. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Best from 2020 through 2030.”
|
|
|
|
|
“This is a richly layered and complex wine from the great estate site. It is juicy and expressive in bold flavors of cherry and blackberry. With a softness to the palate, it invites one into a supple tannin structure and integrated oak, finishing in just a subtle hint of vanilla.”

2015 LARRY HYDE HYDE ESTATE VINEYARD PINOT NOIR
 |
“Powerfully juicy and rich-tasting, with concentrated dried berry and dark cherry flavors that are backed by firm acidity and tannins. Cream and chocolate details show on the savory finish. Drink now through 2022…”
