Cellar/Tasting Notes
Covenant’s sister label is showing a highly vivacious character with ripe, round, black cherry, blackberry and herb flavors couched in firm acidity and soft, supple tannins. The layered flavors and textures are showing beautifully in the glass, and the finish is long and lush on the palate. ..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red color. Aromas of wild berries, savory dried herbs, and subtle earthiness lift elegantly from the glass. On the palate, flavors of Bing cherry, rhubarb, and pomegranate are framed by fine-grained tannins, earthy minerality, and bright acidity. This wine has an enduring fresh finish.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2009 Pinot Noir is a juicy, silky wine laced with expressive dark red fruit, flowers and spices. Higher-toned hints of mint and rose petals add lift and freshness throughout. This is an especially gracious, refined Pinot from L’Angevin and proprietors Alan Peirson and Robbie Meyer. I love the..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
An impressive wine from this tiny 5 acre vineyard in Napa. A classic blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grown on vines planted in 1999, it shows luscious flavors of ripe dark berries with a hint of earth and spice that are elevated by a mineral heft. Only 110 cases made.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Affinity bursts from the glass with an exciting array of dark red berries, flowers, licorice and sweet spices. Floral notes reappear on the finish, adding brightness and lift. This gorgeous, mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon should continue to drink beautifully for at least..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Bright deep ruby. High-pitched aromas of blackberry, licorice pastille, mint, wild herbs and black tea. Thick, powerful and creamy, with a very strong spice character to the black fruit and licorice flavors. Rather musclebound and extremely backward today--even a bit unrefined--finishing with a..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Napa Valley’s 2007 grape growing season was lengthy, with low yields, but extremely high in quality. Bud break occurred earlier than usual following a dry Winter and warm, dry Spring, but fruit set was inconsistent and left small berries in loose clusters. Cool weather in early Summer slowed..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
A Napa standout Cab, Knollwood Cabernet Sauvignon is made from rigorously selected grapes (Cabernet, Merlot and Petit Verdot) grown in the Valley. Carefully vinified to be well-structured and robust, its echoes of plum and black currant persist on palate. Ripe tannins provide backbone to a lengthy..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
This is the first Mendencino Ridge Zinfandel produced by the Carlisle Winery and it sure is a beautiful production!

Medium-dark to dark ruby-garnet. Aromas of cranberries, plum pudding, and spice cake. Christmas in a glass! Quite deep and full bodied on the palate with flavors of..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The wine’s natural acidity, purity of texture and gentleness automatically make you think of food. Flavorwise, it’s all about raspberries and cherries, cured meat, cola, spices and smoky oak. It’s delicious to drink now with a great steak, roasted lamb or grilled tuna." (Steve Heimoff)
