2014 Alexander's Crown Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander’s Crown Vineyard Estate opens with notions of freshly crushed red and black currants with touches of black cherries and mulberries plus a waft of fallen leaves. Medium to full-bodied, it has a good firm frame of ripe, grainy tannins and plenty of juicy black fruits, finishing long and refreshing.
2014 Brothers Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Brothers Ridge is medium to deep garnet-purple in color and gives up notes of crushed black cherries and black plums with touches of earth, garrigue and dried herbs. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers a great intensity of bright, vivacious perfumed fruit, with a firm frame of grainy tannins and a long, uplifting finish.
2016 Sonoma Vineyards Chardonnay
With a noble sense of reduction on the nose, this wine is taut and tart in acidity, focused in Meyer Lemon and balanced oak. A grainy texture adds complexity to the light-bodied ripeness. – Virginie Boone
2014 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
"Juicy black cherry and blueberry wrap around big, expansive tannins in this hearty red that is sourced from several of the producer’s best sites. With a backbone of structure and oak, it’s toasty in character yet robustly fruity." – Virginie Boone
2014 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
"The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is medium to deep garnet-purple in color and scented of crushed blackberries, wild blueberries and warm plums with touches of underbrush, bay leaves and tobacco leaf. Medium to full-bodied with an approachable frame of fine-grained tannins and lovely freshness, the palate reveals plenty of crunchy black fruits, finishing with great purity."
2014 Symmetry Meritage, Alexander Valley
"Medium to medium-dark ruby; cedary, dark currant and blackberry fruit aroma with hints of dried herbs, mocha, and black olive... initially forward and rich with plummy, dark berry fruit flavors and hints of baking spices... medium-full to full tannin; lingering aftertaste. Shows some elegance and is drinkable now, though also worthy of a few more years of bottle aging."
2017 Charlotte's Home Sauvignon Blanc
"Flinty with an aroma of matchstick, this wine is ultimately fresh and fruity in honeydew melon and peach, with an ebullience on the palate. Lightweight, it add highlights of grapefruit and lemon on the finish."
2014 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
"...the winemaker selects the best barrels in the cellar and blends them to create a Reserve bottling.Their 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a lovely amalgam of herbal and cassis-like flavors wrapped in fine tannins. Yes, it’s a big wine, but to their credit, it’s not overdone or boisterous. It would be a choice for current drinking with robust beef dishes." –Michael Apstein
