The Winemaker-Jeff Virnig, his story, and the wine
Robert Sinskey Vineyards "Capa" Pinot Noir. 1988, Robert Sinskey Vineyards was under construction on the northern edge of the Stags Leap District. I figured RSV could use a talented young fellow such as myself and someday might even need a winemaker. I became the first Assistant Winemaker in the new facility and then, in 1991, Rob Sinskey rolled the dice and made me the youngest winemaker in Napa Valley… which takes us to this wine. In my almost three decades at RSV, we have made many wines - from RSV's aromatic whites, to the brooding SLD Cabernet, to this beautifully complex Capa Vineyard Pinot Noir – and I am proud of all of them. I am grateful for the opportunity to bring forth these creations for you to enjoy
The Land
You wanna do what? It was 1992, or thereabouts, when Rob Sinskey declared, "I would like to plant my nine acres in the Carneros to Pinot Noir… and you and I should go to Burgundy and learn a thing or two before we plant it." Hell yeah, I wanted to go! Thus was born the Capa Vineyard - nine acres of Pinot Noir planted to two clones and two field selections on various row spacings and rootstocks. This lovely, single barrel of Pinot Noir is a cuvée that includes all four clones/selections from the Capa Vineyard, created especially for the one and only Mustards fine dining establishment. The vineyard is south facing, sun driven, close to dry farmed and shy producing. The wine is elegantly packed with layers of red berry, earth and spice. I believe that the difference between a good Pinot and a great Pinot is about 45 minutes. That's about the time a well crafted Pinot takes to show its full potential. Since you are enjoying this wine over dinner at Mustards, you will be able to decide for yourself if this is true. "in good health" Jeff Virnig
The Photograph, Photographer, and The Capa Vineyard
Capa was a man. Capa was a dog. Capa is a vineyard. Capa is my home. I followed many breadcrumbs on an indirect path to today - a stint as a Future Farmer, a wanna-be Chef and even an appreciator of the seductive qualities of wine. These were all part of my youth but, in my teens and early twenties, I thought I would become a photojournalist. My idols had names like Henri Cartier Bresson, Eugene Smith and Robert Capa. Bresson for his ability to capture the decisive moment, Smith for his humanity and Capa for his willingness to risk life and limb in documenting the truth. I moved to Napa in 1987 with Capa, my black and white border collie named after the Photojournalist Robert Capa. He lived to the ripe old age of sixteen - most of those years on the land that now bears his name. The photograph was taken in the early '80's when I was studying at Parson's School of Design in Paris. The location was a street named "Rue de L'Arbre Sec" which roughly translates to "road of the dry tree" or "the hanging tree." Ronald Reagan had just been elected president and the celebration was for the Fourth of July. It was one image in a series I called "The American Invasion." It is an homage to my mentors. Seems appropriate to adorn a wine from the Capa Vineyard with an image inspired by a master. Cheers!

One of the best things about Napa Valley is the tremendous sense of community that prevails. Never has this been more prevelant than in the wake of the October fires. We're so thankful for everyone who has come out to support us, and we're honored to be able to pass that support along to two close friends who could use a helping hand. Who knew helping people could be so delicious?
2014 Signorello Estate Cabernet
AVA: Napa Valley. Winemakers: Raymond Signorello, Jr. & Pierre Birebent. Winemaking Notes: 19 months in 80% new French oak Unfined and Unfiltered. A softer, more immediately-approachable version of their famous Padrone Cabernet, the Estate Cabernet comes from the less-rocky, younger parcels of their hillside vineyard. This rich, deeply-colored Cab presents aromas of rich blackberry, cedar and a touch of vanilla. On the palate the wine shows flavors of dark cherry, and mocha with a full mouthfeel and long distinguished finish

2015 Tank Garage Winery - All or Nothing Red Blend
AVA: Napa Valley. Winemakers: James Harder and Jim Regusci. Label Art: Shawn Barber. Winemaking Notes: 14 Months, 45% New Oak (70/30 French to American). The latest project from the dynamic duo of James Harder and Jim Regusci is a Zinfandel-dominant blend that shows aromas of vanilla, intense dark fruit, black licorice, chocolate, mint and caramel intertwined with black pepper and anise. The pallate adds layers of dark berry cobbler, raspberry, black currant, mocha and plum

Mustards Grill was named for the wild mustard flowers that bloom in the vineyards every spring, which help to nourish the soil. Mustard is an integral part of Napa Valley's wine growing diversity, makes for one heck of a condiment, and doesn't look too shabby in the springtime either! After 27 years of feeding Napa Valley and its visitors, Mustards Grill is still the hub of the food and wine community where winemakers lunch with truckers and chefs come to dine on their night off. Alternately known as the fancy rib joint with way too many wines, Mustards is still the place to go for a heaping plate of honest American fare with worldly sophistication, washed down with a glass of the valley's finest.
