Schramsberg | Blanc de Blancs | Napa | 2014
$72.00
Schramsberg's history dates back to the 19th century, when German immigrant Jacob Schram first made his home and started his winery on Diamond Mountain. In 1965 Jack and Jamie Davies would restore the Schramsberg estate. They set out to produce America's most prestigious, select and admired sparkling wine. Fresh aromas of green apple, apricot and orange blossom. The fragrance intermingles with hints of honey, and lemon zest. Freshly sliced peaches, pear and bright pineapple flavors carry vibrant length on the palate
Four Graces | Pinot Blanc | Willamette Valley | 2015
$54.00
Named for their four daughters, Paula Marie and Steven Black purchased an existing vineyard in the Dundee Hills of the Willamette Valley in 2003 as a family retreat. They immediately began turning the estate into a sustainably farmed, well-tended vineyard with the goal of producing rich, elegant, delicious and complex wines. Refined flavors of lime, grapefruit, pineapple, citrus skin and stone combine in a clean crisp delightful wine
Littorai | Pinot Noir | Sonoma Coast | 2015
$120.00
Littorai Wines is a small, family owned and operated winery producing world class vineyard designated Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the true north coast of California: the coastal mountains of Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. Littorai Wines was founded in 1993 by Heidi and Ted Lemon. Blackberry, blueberry, huckleberry, violets, slightly confectionery, black and red licorice. This is a very intense and concentrated wine without being heavy
Andre Brunel | Rhone Blend | Chateauneuf du Pape | 2012
$99.00
As of the 17th century, the wine-making activity of the family was testified by the purchase of a vineyard plot from the Bishop of Avignon to the north of the appellation. In 1971, André Brunel took over the reins of the Domaine. Brunel strives to make wines that can be enjoyed young or with significant age. Dominant aromas of red fruits enhanced by a woody touch from the barrel-contained Syrah grapes. A great taste of red fruits, leather and undergrowth. The tannins are harmonious and elegant with a long finish
Twelve C | 'G3' Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon | Rutherford | 2014
$186.00
Single Vineyard, a wealth of flavor, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon in the heart of Napa Valley. The wine is full bodied, has a bluish purple color notes of more blackberry, blueberry, dark currants, dark cherry, and a little dark plum. On the palate it is slightly earthy with a long, dry finish. Decanting is recommended
