Wine AdvocateAnother sensational effort that does everything right is the 2012 Syrah Toasted Slope. Similarly concentrated as the Old 900, it has more elegance, fine tannin and polish to go with full-bodied, ripe, decadent notes of cassis, licorice, smoked herbs, pepper and violets. The blend here is 90% Syrah, 8% Grenache and 2% Viognier, all of which saw the same elevage as the other reds here (67% new French oak for the Syrah, 8% new for the Grenache). Drink this inky colored, balanced and layered beauty anytime over the coming decade.

Wine SpectatorCompact and brooding, with notes of crushed rock, dried cherry and cedar. The tannins firm up the finish. Best after 2017. 277 cases made.

Cade Napa Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
The 2014 vintage was more than ideal in Napa Valley. We had perfect growing condidtions in 2014 with no rain during the harvest months and warm temperatures resulting in wines with amazing color, huge density, and great extration.

Elouan Reserve Pinot Noir 2015
For our very first Elouan Reserve Pinot Noir we relied entirely on fruit sourced from the Rogue Valley AVA of southern Oregon - the warmest and driest of Oregon's viticultural areas. Rogue's Mediterranean climate consistently produces powerhouse pinots with deep plum notes, abundant yet supple tannins, and a sweet red fruit core. That was particularly true in the 2015 vintage, which is why we chose to produce this limited-production offering. The wine has a deep, shimmering ruby red color and aromas of rich, ripe dark plums, red cherries and black currant jam with subtle touches of pepper spice, mushrooms and earthiness. You will taste a sweet, red fruit core, good structure and depth of flavor, with soft tannins balanced by fresh lingering acidity.

Pasqua Amarone della Valpolicella 2012
A deep red in colour, it has an expansive bouquet, with fresh, positive scents of fruits such as blackberries and cherries. On the palate it displays spicy tones that remind one of chocolate and freshly-roasted coffee, as well as sweetish vanilla-like notes from its long maturation in wood. It is warm and well-balanced, with gentle tannins and a long finish. Food Pairings: Excellent with grilled red meat, powerful game stews and aged, rich cheeses.

Lail J. Daniel Cuvée 2014
2014 was another drought year in the Napa Valley, again yielding a crop of small, intensely flavored grapes (especially from our two mountain vineyard sites). As is often the case, this J. Daniel Cuvée is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, showing off the beautiful energy and purity of this vintage. The aromas and flavors tilt toward the black fruits family, including black raspberry, black cherry, boysenberry and blackberry. It has that creamy, regal mid-palate that is a signature of this flagship bottling, and a perfect balance that should allow it to grow and improve for many years to come.

Obsidian Ridge Half Mile 2015
This wine is one of the darkest wines we've ever made from Obsidian Ridge (and that's saying something), with aromas of fresh blackberry juice and black cherries laced with brown sugar. The texture is velvety smooth, and the wine is packed with generous fruit. Flavors of ripe black cherries and blackberries are complemented by intriguing hints of pencil lead shavings,roasted coffee beans and the bark of cedar. This is a massive wine that still holds its balance with graceful acid and tannin through the finish.
