98 Points Robert Parker! "Tasted on two separate occasions, just before and then after bottling, the 2013 Rocket Block James Berry Vineyard comes from an east-facing, cooler parcel in the James Berry Vineyard that's harvested very late. It is an extraordinary wine (100% destemmed Grenache) that was fermented and aged in concrete for a year before being moved to used...

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.

98+ Points Jeb Dunnuck! "The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate, like many 2013s, is still dense, concentrated, and powerful, with an almost gangly style that needs another 5-7 years of bottle age (I wouldn’t turn down a bottle today). Lots of ripe black fruits, cassis, chocolate, and graphite as well as a hint of mint define the nose, and it’s full-bodied,...

100 Points Jeb Dunnuck!! "Unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage, Jim Binns’ 2014 Andremily No 3 is a blend of 89% Syrah, 8% Mourvèdre and 3% Viognier that comes from three great sites in Santa Barbara County: Larner Vineyard, White Hawk and Alta Mesa (Mourvèdre). Tasted twice, this totally profound beauty offers up heavenly notes of crème de...

97 Points Jeb Dunnuck! Very rare magnum! "I was also able to do a small retrospective of the Obsidian Vineyard, which was completely destroyed last year in the fires that ravaged Sonoma and Napa. The 2014 Syrah Obsidian Vineyard is broad and expansive, with a sexy, plush feel that’s in stark contrast to the 2015. Currants, peppery herbs, spice, full...

99 Points Jeb Dunnuck! "One of the stars in this packed lineup is the 2014 Syrah Richards Family Vineyard. Coming from a site on Sonoma Mountain, it offers a stunning, singular perfume of sweet red and black fruits, lavender, spiced meats, and a complex, herbes de Provence-like character. This full-bodied beauty builds incrementally on the palate, has loads of concentrated...

98+ Points! Deep garnet colored, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard comes charging out of the gate with amazingly intense roses and lilacs scents over an impressively primary core of blackberries, crushed black currants and black cherries with tantalizing layers of chocolate box, smoked meats and Chinese five spice plus a waft of fragrant earth. The palate is full-bodied, super...

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...

100 Points Robert Parker! Blended of 81% Syrah, 8% Petite Sirah, 6% Mourvèdre, 4% Touriga Nacional and 1% Graciano, sourced from 34% The Third Twin, 35% Eleven Confessions and 31% Cumulus (all estate vineyards), the provocative, inky purple colored 2014 Syrah Piranha Waterdance was made using 26% whole cluster and hits the scent scene with exuberant, pure crème de cassis,...

97 Points Jeb Dunnuck! “A truly world-class Pinot Noir, the 2015 Pinot Noir Cushing's Block comes all from the Barbed Oak Vineyard in Bennett Valley. It offers a rich, medium to full-bodied, sexy profile as well as deep, darker notes of blackberries, strawberries, spice box, flowers, and forest floor. This layered, seamless effort has integrated acidity, a blockbuster finish, and...

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...

99 Points Jeb Dunnuck! "From a site on Pritchard Hill, just across from Colgin, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Melanson Vineyard is an incredible wine that flirts with perfection. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 20 months in 80% new French oak, this beauty offers a saturated purple color as well as heavenly notes of purple fruits, white flowers, coffee...

99 Points Jeb Dunnuck! Even better than the incredible 2014, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Panek Vineyard is cut from the same cloth with its huge, sexy, elegant personality. Notes of crème de cassis, blackberry jam, dried herbs, graphite, violets and an incredible minerality all emerge from this blockbuster of a Napa Valley Cabernet that has beautiful tannin, no hard edges,...

100 Points Jeb Dunnuck! As with the Bone Rock, there are only four barrels of the 2015 James Berry Vineyard Rocket Block, a blend of 89% Grenache and 11% Mataró, from a tiny parcel, that was all co-fermented. Offering the essence of kirsch liqueur, ground pepper, gravelly minerality, herbes de Provence, and licorice, it reminds me of a great vintage...
