2018 Chardonnay

 Origin: Atlas Peak District, Napa Valley, Antinori Napa Valley Family Estate, five clone block 18 Chard

Alcohol: 14.2%

Grapes: 100% Chardonnay

Production: 50 cases

Vineyard: Chardonnay grapes are from the Reserve vineyard, ten acres in size. The vineyard is planted at an elevation of 1420 feet, in the volcanic soil series Aiken Loam. It is planted at a vine density of 1815 vines per acre and divided equally among five distinct Chardonnay clones that contribute to the wine's complexity through the clonal diversity. Clones Dijon 96, Dijon 76 and Weimer Burgundian Selection provide for the complexity in flavors while clones Prosser 15 and Martini 4 provide the natural acidity that brings balance and a mineral character to the wine.

Tasting notes: Beautifully fragranced and stimulating, this classy Chardonnay beckons you into the glass.  Delectable layers of lemon-splashed Honeycrisp apples, brioche, mineral tones and well-integrated oak unfold gracefully on the palate. Subtle hints of tropical fruit and toasted marshmallows add complexity.  Pure, finely structured and polished through the mouthwatering finish. - Ellen Landis, CS, CSW

2016 Sangiovese

 Alcohol: 13.4%

Grapes: 100% Sangiovese

Production: 72 cases

Vineyard:  Located on a high plain in the eastern mountains of the celebrated Napa Valley because of its breathtaking location; its rocky soils, high elevations and beautiful landscape. The hilly terrain is above all, ideal wine growing country.

Tasting notes: This snappy Sangiovese precisely shouts out spot-on varietal elements from first swirl.  Expressive earthy, cherry notes on the nose lead to a savory, wild cherry entry.  Gracing the palate are notes of red currant, tart red cherries, chopped basil, sun-dried tomato accents, and hints of underbrush.  Delicate and strikingly balanced with crisp acidity, and the finish is vivacious and persistent. - Ellen Landis, CS, CSW

2015 Syrah

Origin: Atlas Peak District, Napa Valley, Antinori Napa Valley Family Estate15 Srh

Alcohol: 13.9%
 
Grapes:  100% Syrah
 
Production: 58 cases

Vineyard:  Located on a high plain in the eastern mountains of the celebrated Napa Valley because of its breathtaking location; its rocky soils, high elevations and beautiful landscape. The hilly terrain is above all, ideal wine growing country.

Tasting notes:  A rich fragrance of grilled meat and black fruits set the stage for this intensely flavored, powerfully structured Syrah.  Distinctive layers of wild forest blackberries, pungent spice, a touch of smoke, and ideally ripe black plums frame a firm backbone of tannins.  The mouth feel is luxurious and the balance is meticulous.  I envision a long life ahead for this beauty, if you have the patience to wait.  Best bet is to buy some to drink now, and more to enjoy later! - Ellen Landis, CS, CSW
