John Anthony Vineyards

"The Coombsville Vineyard is one of our most intriguing vineyards. Dry farmed. Head trained. Four acres. Black cherry, raspberry jam and blood orange scents with sweet lavender, sage and exotic spices. The flavors are explosive. A dense core of dark berries and plums wrapped in grilled herbs, bittersweet dark chocolate, sweet tobacco and tanned leather. The finish is nearly undending and unfolds with great symmetry in its tannin and acid, fruit and spice."

“This is the top two percent of what we produce: Four barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon from over two hundred barrels produced in the John Anthony Vineyards portfolio, the Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is the best in show of the 2015 vintage. Dense and utterly complex tones of black, blue and red fruit are all showcased within a frame of potpourri, lead and sweet earthy tones. This is a wine of both elegance and muscle, whose fruit comes from the best of both our hillside and valley floor vineyards.”

“Our inaugural release of the first Reserve wine beyond our Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a select choice of the best barrels from an evolved Chardonnay program that is a great source of pride in our portfolio. Powerful orchard and stone fruit integrated with a creamy core and subtle spice. A mineral driven tension provides great energy to a wine with such depth.”

"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."
