The 09' was supposed to be real gem but I think I just had an off bottle? Dunno. There were no obvious huge faults. Fruit was somewhat muted. Alcohol high. Nice dark plum showed through and the tannins were fine. But it was a point wine, not 100. I'm looking at your Mr. James Suckling!! — 8 years ago

Chenin blanc the only one in Naps when dad purchased the vineyards one was planted to Chenin they tore it out 2004 replanted 2005 Molly chappellet is the label only sold at the winery apple honey extract honeysuckle and bright acidity. Bought a homesteaders propery homestead 600 proprty 400 for the home real estate 300000 acre they were the only ones on the hill lovely intensity with a creamy texture long finish lovely minerality. Finish 45+? All vineyards replanted they have learned a lot so the wines keep getting better. Original 320 acres intact from Prichard. Very close to a dry vouvray. Neighbors Ovid continuum Bryant David Arthur they are 100% solar and organic the next generation will have a better piece of property. Bought next door neighbors property to protect the family but not a real estate guy so he only bought the extra 300 acres of property this is also where all of the water comes from. 120 acres of vineyard today. sister does legal work and brother oversees winery production. M and dad still around. The next generation? — 12 years ago

Tor Kenward specialized in single vineyard CS from a few top sites, but the “Napa Valley” bottling is a blend of all the vineyards he works with. For 2014 the juice is predominantly from Melanson vineyard from Pritchard Hill, home to some of the most exquisite CS bottles in all of Napa - Chappellet, Bryant Family, Colgin, and Ovid.
Rich in black fruits but laced with red fruit freshness and elements of dusty earth, herbs, chocolate, and raisin. Luxurious mouthfeel. Broad yet precise. A refined beauty. — 8 years ago

From the famed Prichard Hill estate vineyard, this 100% Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a cult wine, rubbing shoulders with Screaming Eagle, Harlan and Colgin. The nose is typical of Napa Cab, with rich aromas of steeped blackberries, cassis, saddle leather, spice box and carmelized brown sugar. On the palate, it's silky, sexy and nicely balanced. There is a lovely, polished interplay of fine tannins and glycerol, along with darker notes of saddle leather, cedar, and espresso beans. Medium plus finish. — 11 years ago

Novelty Hill borrows from the ancient Latin phrase In Novale Novello, “in virgin ground I plant young vines,” for its name. I didn’t realize that there aren’t vines on the actual Novelty Hill in Washington (located about 5 miles east of Redmond). Oh well, so much for my Hill vs Hill face-off with Pritchard Hill’s Bryant Family. This 2014 Novelty Hill Cabernet Sauvignon talks some serious smack, and even brings a serious punch, but that would have been Go-Karts vs Formula One. That said, this is one hell of a Go-Kart. In the low $20s, my first comparison is to Charles Smith’s Substance Cs, and this blows the doors off that wine, and more than justifies its slightly higher price-point. Jumps out of the glass with black cherry, cassis, mocha, licorice, and a heavily spiced cranberry potpourri, while still managing to weave in a savory undertone that emphasizes the noticeable balance. Washington offers extraordinary value across the board, but this is a value even by Washington standards. 92+ — 8 years ago

This is the 6th of an original 6 and from the first bottle the tasting notes have been consistent. This wine has a weird vegetal nose. I have described as H2S in previous notes. This off putting note does not come through on the palate which exhibits ripe fruits with raspberry to the fore. Finishing off with trademark silky tannins. As a coincidence of timing it's illustrious elder brother Hill of Grace - the 2012 vintage was just judged Wine of the Year by Australia's leading wine scribe James Halliday. Well done to Henschke. — 8 years ago
