“Bright citrus tones of key lime and lemon peel comingle with hints of white flowers, reminiscent of jasmine and water flowers, with beautiful undertones of toasted almond.  Honeyed beeswax and lychee nut fill out the aromatics as the wine opens up. Wonderfully dry with bracing acidity; the bright citrus continues on the palate with hints of green apple skin and Asian pear.  An ultra-fine mousse confirms the elegant yet persistent petillance, while the finishing clean with a touch of minerality and hints of brioche.”

“This single vineyard Merlot is an outstanding example of Oak Knoll District quality.  This vintage offers big, juicy plum outlined by savory herb with elegant red and black currant undertones. Mint and cocoa powder classically assert themselves in this vintage, showing the incredible character in some of the oldest vines in the John Anthony portfolio. This Merlot is beautiful and continues to exhibit an old-world charm."

"Bright tropical fruit, citrus and lemongrass aromas. This vintage has more Sancerre-like qualities than we have produced in previous years. Kaffir lime and passionfruit flavors are focused and well supported by fresh almond and sweet herbs. The wine has a lean structure, mineral undertones and energetic acidity that make it a refreshing spring offering."

"Our inaugural release of the Reserve Syrah has taken its rightful place as the single best barrel of our immensely popular Rhone varietal from the 2015 vintage. A complex array of dark fruit scents with cocoa, tapenade and wild game develops with time in the glass and aeration. The texture is broad and commanding with a tension that implies significant aging potential. Flavors of boysenberry, plum sauce, cured meat and black olive are well integrated and will enhance their expression with more time in the cellar. This wine can be enjoyed now with at least an hour of encouraged decanting. Less than 25 cases produced."

"Hands down the best vintage of this wine we have produced to date. As the vines continue to mature, so does the quality and character of the fruit. The perfume of red fruit, roses and incense is both powerful and delicate. The wine shows more structure than it ever has and maintains its soft, silky texture. Chocolate covered cherries, cassis and a potpourri of blue and purple flowers command the palate, yet there is a subtle spice that pervades throughout. This could be the best wine in the spring portfolio and will continue to evolve beautifully."
