"The first release of our celebrated hillside vineyard in the foothills of the Mayacamas mountain range, the Twisted Oak Vineyard in Oak Knoll District. The purity of fruit, aromatic complexity and broad structure from this well drained mountainside vineyard offering is distinct from all our single vineyard cabernet sauvignons. A bouquet of black and red berries and stone fruit, licorice and cedar. The flavors are deep and explosive. Bramble berry, Morello cherry and pomegranate layered with lilac, dark chocolate and dusty crushed stone. Bracing acidity and the grainy tannins evolve to a long, velvety finish."
"This fourth release of the multi-vintage La Dame Michele is from chardonnay. Bright citrus aromas of key lime and lemon peel comingle with undertones of jasmine, water flowers, toasted almond, beeswax. Wonderfully dry with bracing acidity. Green apple, grapefruit and Asian pear on the palate. The lively mousse and persistent bead are elegant. This sparkling finishes with minerality and a hint of brioche."
"My first taste of Musqué clone grapes was with Larry Hyde in the early 80’s when I visited his vineyard with my father. Exceptionally flavorful and aromatic we planted just under two acres of it at our Church Vineyard estate in Carneros in 2003. Seventeen years later, the 2020 vintage is expressive with mango, orange stone fruit and sweet spice fragrances. Cantaloupe, cherimoya and Meyer lemon are broad on the palate with hints of tarragon and nougat. The delicate crème on the palate persists through noted minerality and a bright, acidic lift."
"This Western-clone sauvignon blanc from cool climate Napa Carneros is full of orange blossom, papaya and white pepper aromas. Juicy passionfruit, Key lime and lemongrass notes on the palate are tinged with crystalized ginger and white floral notes. The texture leads with bright acidity while softer edges follow through the mid palate to a high-toned finish."
"A bouquet of ambrosia with orchard and tropical fruit are framed by hints of honeysuckle and praline. The palate is smooth and broad with notes of pineapple cake, vanilla bean and citrus crème brûlée. The finish is nuanced and lingering with apple blossom and macadamia."
"Selected as the best few barrels of chardonnay from the 2019 vintage. Native yeasts and barrel fermentation provide complexity and character with scents of rich orchard fruit, lemon meringue and toasted coconut. The texture is spry for its weight with progressive layers of baked apple and pear, beeswax and jasmine, vanilla bean and cinnamon butter. This fourth release of the John Anthony Reserve Chardonnay exhibits the terroir from our vineyards more than ever before."
"Sumptuous, aromatic red and black fruits abound in this classic Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon. The palate is rich, dense and chewy with wonderful tannin structure and layers of dark cherry and cassis. A vigorous finish leaves notes of muddled dark fruits and mocha overtones."
"Sourced from our hillside and valley-floor vineyards in the Oak Knoll District, this cabernet sauvignon showcases its diverse terroir exhibiting intensity, structure and lush silkiness. Powerful dark berry fruit aromas open to rose petals, black tea and mocha. Black fruit notes of cherry and marionberry deepen flavors of red plum skin, raspberry jam and cassis with hints of cardamom, potpourri and cacao bean intermingling throughout the palate."

"This third release of Reserve Syrah is a single barrel sourced from Crane Vineyard in Oak Knoll. Generous aromas of wild black and blue fruit and plum sauce tinged with grilled savory herbs and bacon bits. Flavors of boysenberry and blueberry preserves, fresh fig, black olive, anise and grilled game develop slowly throughout a long finish and are especially pronounced when decanted. The palate is broad and commanding with a tension that indicates exceptional aging potential."
