A nose of black raspberries interwoven with floral notes of blackcurrants and spice jump from the glass of this dense ruby/plum/purple wine. This famous vineyard at the northern end of Napa Valley, which in this era was owned by Bart and Daphne Araujo (today owned by François Pinault, the proprietor of Château Latour), can certainly make the argument that it’s...

From winemaker Philippe Melka "Vintage 2015 was a study in contrasts in Napa Valley: very small yields of very high quality wines. A tantalizing nose of blue and black fruits leads to a velvety texture replete with sweet tannins, beautiful texture and layers, and a long lingering finish. It has those signature Howell Mountain black fruit aromas and flavors: wild...

100 Points from Robert Parker and Jeb Dunnuck! "Coup de Coeur is a barrel-selection blend of Morlet's Chardonnay vineyards, using exclusively Old Wente clone selection. The 2018 Chardonnay Coup de Coeur needs a little coaxing to reveal a spectacularly complex nose of orange blossoms, ripe pears, peach cobbler and lime leaves with nuances of oyster shells, struck flint and cashews....

From winemaker Philippe Melka "Another great growing season on Howell Mountain delivers this classic, pure Cabernet Sauvignon. It has that signature family of black fruit aromas and flavors: boysenberry, blackberry, loganberry and black raspberry. Fine tannins and bright acidity provide a frame upon which these flavors dance and cavort. This is a large shouldered wine with power aplenty, and will...

97-99 Points Jeb Dunnuck! "Another barrel sample that got a big "wow" in the notes was the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, which comes from a newer block of younger vines. Inky hued, with a killer nose of cassis, flowery incense, camphor, espresso, and chocolate, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, and...

100 Points Robert Parker and Vinous! This is a single-vineyard Grenache-dominated, barrel-selection blend coming from the Eleven Confessions Estate vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills.

It...

98+ Jeb Dunnuck! "The 2019 Syrah Distenta I is brilliant, and certainly one of the Syrahs of the vintage. Sporting a vivid ruby, almost opaque hue, it offers awesome, textbook Syrah notes of assorted red and blackberry fruits, bacon fat, smoked meat, and an incredible floral character that develops with time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied on the palate,...

100 Points Robert Parker! "The monumental 2004 Mr. K. The Straw Man, a Sémillon Vin de Pays, possesses 9.9% alcohol and 310 grams per liter of residual sugar yet an amazing 7.6 grams per liter of acidity. An elixir of amazing proportions, there are 2,500 half bottles, which will be released in early 2008. Astounding notes of marmalade, creme brulee,...

Robert Parker 98-100 Points! "One of the most compelling sweet wines being made in California, it rivals the world's finest. Tasting notes do not do it justice. Readers need to taste it themselves to see what Manfred Krankl and Alois Kracher, along with Krankl's talented wife, Elaine, have concocted. This is a tour de force in sweet winemaking, with remarkable...

98 Points Robert Parker! Like with the 2013 Grenache, I was thrilled to be able to taste the 2013 Syrah Male again (twist my arm), and it continues to impress. Giving up fabulous blackberry, bouquet garni, peppery herbs and minerality, this full-bodied, beautifully textured, concentrated and layered Syrah has ultra-fine tannin, impeccable balance and a great finish.

100 points! The 2013 Chardonnay Eastside is from a vineyard owned by Ulises Valdez, and planted with the Montrachet clone on the very low-yielding rootstock called riparia gloire. This wine displays terrific intensity, plenty of stony minerality, and great precision in its notes of subtle white peach, pineapple, almond paste, brioche and crème brûlée. This is a killer wine and...

The two flagship wines of this brilliant estate, which straddles the Sonoma and Napa county lines at the top of Spring Mountain, include the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot). Sixty-eight percent of the fruit comes from Sonoma and 32% from Napa. It exhibits classic notes of creme de cassis, licorice,...

"....the 2006 Mr. K. The Iceman (287 grams of residual sugar and 9.4% alcohol) possesses zesty acidity as well as extraordinary complexity. It should rival some of the world’s greatest sweet wines." 95-97 Points Robert Parker Made from frozen grapes from the Bien Nacido Vineyard...(Manfred) Krankl avoids botrytis for his ice wines because he believes that true ice wine should...
