"Here the aromas and flavors are more floral, spiced and …This is a remarkably textured, supple wine for the vintage and Diamond Mountain. Readers won't find too many 2011 Napa Valley Cabernets where the fruit is so juicy. There is certainly a lot to like here."
Aromas of strawberry, orange and grapefruit are complemented by warm bread dough and roasted hazelnuts and flavors of watermelon, strawberry, tangerine and lemon chiffon. The wine finishes with a crisp acidity that is tangy and refreshing.

"Delivers a beam of firm, rich blackberry, featuring floral scents and notes of mineral and graphite. The lively finish shows a measure of finesse and polish, with gripping tannins. Drink now through 2026."
The 2011 Estate Chardonnay has remarkable depth and intensity. The nose is immediately luscious and peachy, the texture rich and lingering with a beautiful, bracing acidity on the finish.
The 2011 Hunting Hill is beautifully fragrant with its lemon/lime blossom characters and lovely fruit purity. This wine shares some of the characters with the neighboring Mate’s Vineyard with its attractive floral notes and restrained elegance.
The 2011 Coddington shows the typical ripe, peachy fruit expected from this vineyard site. There is depth and layers of concentration present in the wine. The palate is forward with a luxurious, creamy texture and lovely balancing acidity.
This wine displays a lifted fruit aroma reminiscent of ripe pears, but with a mineral edge. The 2011 vintage Chardonnay displays the complexity and concentration expected from this vineyard, with great tautness and length on the palate
"This is a perfumed and structured Chianti Classico with lavender, fresh mushroom and blackberries on the nose and palate. Full body, fine tannins and a racy finish."
"Aromas of pineapple, guava, dried orange and red raspberry. Fruity aromas are complemented by caramelized brown sugar and hazelnut. A crisp, refreshing palate with papaya, mango and pineapple. Offers a viscous texture and long, lingering finish."
Opens with aromas of lemon peel and green apple, followed by a touch of banana and passion fruit. Upon aeration, aromas of sweet cherry blossoms and minerally firestone. It is smooth, with a light, well-balanced body and softly spicy finish.
"Very fine and complex, this is a great sparkling wine…it's rich with flavors of strawberries, limes, vanilla and honey, with lots of smokey toast and yeastiness. Above all, the mousse is exceptionally refined and pure."
"An enormously complex wine…Mainly Chardonnay, this was aged on lees for seven years, giving it a soft creaminess and also an intense, doughy yeastiness…it wants a good eight years in the cellar, and should age well beyond that."
"Made from 100% Chardonnay, this sparkling wine is absolutely delicious to drink now. It has vanilla, cream, lemon, lime and yeast flavors, accented with crisp acidity, and the bubble mousse is soft and fine."
"The rich, nearly tannic, frothy 2005 Reserve offers notes of apple pie, honeysuckle and earth. Made in a bigger, firmer, more structured style compared to the J. Schram, it is pure with persistent bubbles."
“Gorgeous...richly layered core of candied grapefruit peel, white peach and green melon…Just as you think it’s all upfront lushness, a great stony spine takes over on the finish, along with a bitter lemon hint, giving additional zip and clarity...”
"…Crisp notes of pear, apple skin and brioche in a medium-bodied, complex yet delicate style with tiny pinpoint bubbles, persistent effervescence and a dry, crisp finish. This beautiful sparkling wine is intense yet delicate."
"This light strawberry-colored rose offers up notes of mulberries, cranberries, cherries and strawberries. Medium-bodied and dry with precise bubbles, this beauty could easily compete with the finest rose Champagnes from France"
