Each Spring Sampler Flight includes 2 bottles each of the following:
Lot 496 | 2022 Napa Valley Proprietary Red
"This proprietary red opens with an intense nose of dark red and black fruits, enveloped by a halo of blue fruit, blood orange, and a subtle dried herb complexity. The palate is a showcase of terroir expression – pyrazines are intertwined with dry, fresh tannins, leading to layers of stones, brambles, and uplifted spice. A whisper of tobacco leaf adds depth, while a long, enduring finish brings together notes of vanilla, dark berries, and a hint of leather. Simply class."
Lot 474 | 2023 Green Valley of Russian River Valley Chardonnay
"A floral nose opens with a bit of mineral, followed by white blossoms, lemon oils, Asian pear, and whispers of pineapple. The entry is expressive, with additional citrus and white blossoms distributed over exceptionally balanced texture, tangible acidity, and an overall impeccable framework. A clean, resonant finish is uplifted with lime peel, shifting to delicate florals that beckon a second sip."
Lot 450 | 2022 Sonoma Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
"The wine draws you into the glass through intense aromas of dark fruit and cassis, intermingled with hints of herbs. A deep, focused palate contains richness and depth from start to finish, showcasing medium-grained integrated tannins and a medium acidity that strikes a fine balance between fruit and oak, with fruit overtaking spice from the barrel influence by the slightest of margins on the finish. Not brooding or overly tannic, the taste of black fruits resonates long after the last sip."
Lot 524 | 2023 Anderson Valley Gewürztraminer
"A deep and radiant golden hue beckons you into the glass, where expressive and vibrant aromas of lychee and white peach mingle with rose water and wet stones. On the palate, vivid tropical fruit flavors mesh with tangerines and lemon, crescendoing into a delicate, uplifted ginger spice framed by seamlessly balanced acidity and clean minerality. The refined finish is drier than it lets on, with subtle hints of white florals and lingering ginger riding a clean, medium-length finish. This bottle disappears very quickly."
Lot 485 | 2023 Monterey County Pinot Noir
"On the nose, aromas of rose petal, raspberry coulis, and mushrooms are accented by dried strawberries and forest floor. Upon entry, cherries and strawberry sauce intermingle with dried leaves, framed by balanced acidity and small, crushed tannins. A long, dynamic finale begins with a spiced wave, settling into red berries and a kiss of vanilla before rose hips and vanilla bean overtake the umami."
Lot 488 | 2023 Arroyo Seco Chardonnay
"A beautiful sunbeam of a pour invites you into a nose of golden apples, crème brûlée, wet stones, and delicate tropical tones haloed by fresh bread and foraged mushrooms. The entry is expertly balanced, with medium acidity and a brilliant structure accented by a chalky minerality and a creamy texture that feels just about weightless. The finish is clean, long, and kissed by white florals, apples, and flecks of vanilla. Delectable."
