"Classic Napa Valley on the nose, with red-to-black fruits, graphite, eucalyptus, and clay pot in a dusty presentation with youthful spices. The palate showcases incredible structure for its youth, with cherries, currant, and cedar leading into toffee and vanilla amidst medium acidity and fresh, grippy tannins. The finish is powerful, with red fruit umami sliced by vanilla bean and baking spice - the perfect Cab for the perfect steak."
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 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."
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 558 | 2023 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
"A deep, expressive nose leads with blackberries and currants, swirling over a strong mineral spine layered with chocolate, wet gravel, and eucalyptus. On the palate, refined red-to-black fruit is framed by new, soft leather and earth amidst medium+ acidity. Velvety tannins lend grace to the wine’s architecture, while a barrel-kissed long finish reveals baking spice, leather, additional black fruit, and vanilla bean umami."
Lot 567 | 2024 Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc
"Aromatically poised and expressive, an elegant, uplifted nose awakens the senses with Kaffir leaf, jasmine florals, river stones, tropical fruit, and subtle eucalyptus. The palate delivers precision and balance, showcasing tropical fruits, ginger, and florals buoyed by medium+ acidity and a tantalizing spice umami. The finish is remarkably clean, featuring citrus zest, florals, and green apple reverberate with impressive length."
Lot 522 | 2023 Napa Valley Merlot
"An uplifted and floral nose bursts out of the glass with red and blue fruit, layered alongside dusty, earthy nuances of freshly picked bay leaves, cocoa powder, and crushed stones. On the palate, the wine reveals its structure and finesse from the first sip, with a remarkable elegance and exceptional acidity – a testament to 2023’s consistently cool growing season. Terroir-driven notes of focused cherries, capsicum, juniper berries, leather, and dried herbs lead to plentiful, persistent tannins. The finish kicks off with vanilla blossoms before transitioning to additional cherries, then concludes on a savory, complex note. Superb."
Lot 566 | 2024 Los Carneros Pinot Grigio
"Expressive and bright on the nose, it emerges from the glass with notes of elderflower, lime zest, almond paste, and tropical fruits, all haloed by wet stone and herbs. On the palate, bright acidity accentuates apples, lime, white peach, and florals with expertly weighted texture and a dry presentation. The finish gives a perfect touch of lingering spice, deftly interwoven with additional citrus and florals on a medium-length, exceptionally clean exit. A crowd favorite."
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 573 | 2024 Napa Valley Chardonnay
"A vivid nose abounds with wonderfully concentrated golden apples, lemon curd, star fruit, and fresh-sliced pear, accented by white blossoms and saline. An expertly weighted and seductively creamy palate delivers an electric beam of acidity perfectly integrated with delicate spice and an encore of lemon curd. The finish is long and umami-laden, unfolding with citrus, apple, and florals in splendid harmony."
Lot 539 | 2023 Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc
"Opening with an elegant nose of jasmine blossom, lemongrass, lemon oil, and subtle matcha layered over a core of slate-driven minerality, the palate showcases impressive texture and precision, with medium+ acidity and notes of citrus essence, saline, and delicate spice enhancing the wine’s mineral backbone. The finish is clean and cohesive, echoing with wet river stone, citrus umami, and gentle thread of ginger-like spice. A truly unique experience in every 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."
