Meritage Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2013

Man, oh man… This thing aged into something of a viscous, dense California chewy cab!! What a maturation in the bottle. Almost have pencil shavings. The integration really leveled this beyond Virginia. — 9 months ago

Winemaker's Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec, all from Moon Mountain vineyards, resulting in a dark, weighty, grippy, and spicy wine. Put this with a rich dish and it is perfect. Paired in flight with liver pate on toast. — 7 years ago

Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

Wet stone and white pepper on the nose. Minerals, lemon curd, chalk and bracing lime 🍋 tones. Super acidic in the finish that shows the pepper, green pear and green apple. Wonderfully delish. — 9 years ago

So in 2013 this was our first winery we hit on the way up to Napa. As we pull up on the drive the car leaving sticks out his hand with a thumbs down 👎🏻. I had the picnic experience reserved on their lake/pond and the chef was a friend of a friend so had to stick with it. The whites were good but never got into the reds. Looks like they are improving!

Sans grande surprise mais tout de même satisfaisant! Non-boisé, d'une certaine richesse et en prime de la fraîcheur. Orange, citron vert, floral... — 10 years ago

Ulises Valdez Diablo Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Excellent examples of wines PERFECT for pairing with food. They specialize in making a wine that is beautifully complex and layered, but when paired with dishes that focus in on 2 or 3 good ingredients, is an ingredient you realize, "Wow, I can't this with out it".

Elegant, supple, soft - meaty weight, thyme, raspberry reduction, red plum skin, clove.
