Description
Orin Swift Palermo Cabernet Sauvignon
Orin Swift Palermo has a dark garnet hue in the glass with immediate aromas of ripe cassis and blackberry. Hints of cocoa, new oak and fir complement the juicy fruit mélange. A full-bodied entry is succeeded by a mid-palate of dark fruits and a smooth, integrated minerality. The tannins are well developed, allowing the wine to finish with length. Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa, California. From winemaker Dave Phinney.
Varietal Type: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc

Patz Hall Chenoweth Ranch Pinot Noir
Chenoweth Ranch is planted to a mix of Dijon clones that deliver one of the juiciest, richest wines in our single vineyard lineup. Generous aromas of cinnamon, clove, dried cherry, blueberry and toasted almond leap from the glass. Bright red fruit and chocolate notes bring layers of complexity.
The Patz & Hall Chenoweth Ranch Pinot Noir shows a suppleness and depth to the tannins that make for an exceptionally full, rich, wine while maintaining an elegant, sleek purity and graceful finish.

Cakebread Chardonnay
In 2015, 90% of the grapes for our Napa Valley Chardonnay came from the cool-climate Carneros district at the southern tip of the valley, with 40% of the fruit from our estate Carneros vineyards. Carneros enjoys a long, cool growing season that fully ripens its fruit while retaining the bright acidity that gives our Napa Valley Chardonnay its freshness and vitality. We complemented our Carneros fruit in 2015 with chardonnay grapes from just north of the city of Napa that yield especially luscious wines. This helped us craft a sumptuous, yet elegant and complex chardonnay that drinks beautifully young, but also ages gracefully in bottle.
100% of the grapes were hand-harvested at night to maximize freshness and varietal intensity. The fruit was then whole-cluster-pressed, with the free-run juice transferred to French oak barrels for fermentation. After primary fermentation completed, 29% of the wine was put through a secondary, malolactic fermentation to enrich its flavors and texture. The barrel-fermented portion of the wine aged sur lie (on the yeast lees) in 35% new French oak barrels for eight months, with periodic stirring of the lees to layer the wine’s crisp, vibrant fruit flavors with an appealingly creamy, slightly yeasty tone.
NOSE: The nose offers vivid, creamy aromas of green and golden apple, pear and citrus with supporting scents of beeswax and mineral.
PALATE: Full-bodied and vibrant on the palate, with bright, intense, apple, citrus and melon flavors, our 2015 Napa Valley Chardonnay is remarkably persistent on the palate, culminating in a long finish showcasing pleasing spice, yeast and mineral tones.
AGE: Released soon after bottling, it will hit its stride after 6-8 months and reward 5-7 years’ aging.

Susana Balbo Signature Brioso White Blend
A leading light among Argentinian white blends, made with sauvignon blanc, Semillon, and Torrontes, is vivid and energetic with bright, focused acidity and lots of sliced dried-citrus and stone undertones.
It combines the exotic notes of the aromatic varieties with the seriousness and freshness of the Semillon. It has integrated spice from its time in barrels.
Varietal Type: Semillion, Torrontes, & Sauvignon Blanc
Appellations: Mendoza, Argentina
Sub Appellations: Paraje Altamira, San Carlos (Valle de Uco)
Practices: Hand picked, destemmed, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon: 6h maceration with dry ice in the press (previous to the pressing), pressing, stripping during 36 hours and racking to the concrete eggs. Fermentation with wild yeasts. Torrontes: pressing without maceration. Selected yeasts. Fermentation in stainless steel tank. Once the alcoholic fermentation was over, it was preserved on the lees during a month to improve the mouthfeel. Final blending and racking to barrels (battonage once a month). 100% in new French oak barrels for 4 months.
