The Wines!!

Provenance Sauvignon Blanc $23.99
“A beam of focused fruit—citrus, peach, kiwi and pear—fills the aromas and mid-palate of our 2014 Wildwood Sauvignon Blanc,” says Winemaker Trevor Durling.

“Sweet spices, earth, melons and exotic scents jump from the glass of this steely, rich, medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc. Long and authoritative, this is outstanding stuff to drink over the next 1-3 years.”
90 Points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate,December 31st, 2015.

Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay, Russian River Ranches $24.99
Russian River Ranches is cuvee of distinct vineyard lots, each contributing its own personality to the wine. These vineyards come together to create a Chardonnay that is consistent from  year to year and remains among the most coveted in each and every vintage. True to the Russian River Ranches style, this wine is beautifully focused with a nice, bright acidity balanced by a long finish and a light mid-palate creaminess. Flavor Notes: This vintage is very aromatic, fruit forward, loaded with aromas of lemon and lime, and accented with nougat, green apple, spices, pear and touches of wet stone minerality. Crisp and zesty flavors of lemon drop, green apple, white peach and lychee are accented with a nice barrel spice and persistent lime.

Provenance Merlot $34.99
Our 2012 Provenance Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot shows off the nearly ideal vintage with abundant black cherry, wild plum and blackberry character. “This wine is intensely fruit-driven with an enticing savory edge,” says Winemaker Trevor Durling. “Nuances of dark chocolate, aromatic bergamot tea and bay laurel add complexity to the aromas and focused, mouth-filling flavors. 

Uppercut Meritage $27.99

Blend: 85% Merlot,, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec
The 2012 Uppercut Meritage, the premier release, brims with black cherry, ripe raspberry and red currant character, accent by intriguing hints of mocha and bay leaf. This myriad of aromas and flavors reflect a core blend of Merlot, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. The plush texture flavors fan out across the palate in layers of juicy red and dark-fruit and then culminate in a long finish tinged with vanilla, nutmeg and hazelnut from barrel aging. “It’s fun to play with the Bordeaux-heritage varietals and see how they interact with each other,” saysWinemaker Trevor Durling. “The blend will change with the vintage; 2012 was a great year for Merlot, so we chose that for our primary grape and added others for complexity. This is an inviting, food friendly wine with enough flavor depth for roast pork, lamb, duck or beef, yet its bright acidity and soft tannins also complement wild mushroom lasagna or even grilled salmon.”


Uppercut Cabernet Sauvignon $29.99
Broad shouldered and muscular, yet food friendly and approachable, our Uppercut Cabernet Sauvignon makes the perfect match for a sizzling steak. The wine's generous black cherry and blackberry aromas and flavors draw you in and then, with each swirl and sip, reveal complex hints of mocha, anise, tamari and mineral, plus a racy hint of smokiness. Well-structured tannins give this wine the backbone to stand up to boldly flavored foods, as well as a plush texture that carries the rich dark-fruit flavors through the lingering finish. This wine's multilayered personality is unmistakably Napa Valley Cab.

Hewitt Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon $124.99
Reflecting the fabulous 2012 vintage, Hewitt Cabernet Sauvignon offers abundant, complex dark-fruit expression; ripe tannins and impeccable balance. Its yin-yang qualities of being powerful—yet refined, soft and approachable—speak to the terroir of Hewitt Vineyard and gentle winemaking. 


94 Points, Wine Spectator Insider, July 22nd 2015
"Combines power with finesse, offering a rich core of dark berry, mocha, chocolate, dusty oak and loamy earth. Gains depth and refinement on the finish, where the flavors linger pleasantly. Drink now through 2030." –JL
