Item Description

2013 Benovia Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley - Rated 93 Points by Wine Enthusiast

Aromas are clearly dominated by bright red fruit tones of Bing cherry and red raspberry, while black fruits dominate on the palette. The bright aromas expand and give way to blackplum and toasted baking spices.

The Prisoner Red Wine Blend 2013, Napa Valley - Rated 92 Points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Aromas of briar fruits and dried cherry are accented by hints of vanilla and toasted oak. On the palate, tiers of blueberry, ripe mulberry and boysenberry give way to an edge of espresso, cracked pepper and a seasoning of fall spice. These dense aromas and flavors culminate in a lingering finish framed by refined tannins.

Simoncini 2014 Viognier, Dry Creek Valley - Rated 90 Points by Wine Critics

This vineyard was planted with Viognier clones specifically isolated from Northern France. The fermentation and aging in cement pyramids develops the pineapple and apricot aromatics. The stainless steel component lends a very floral aromatic background while the French Oak portion is instrumental in creating soft flavors of vanilla and cream.

2013 Kick Ass Red, Carmel Valley - Rated 90 Points by Wine Critics

This untamed wine from Carmel Valley has the familiar smell of saddle leather and open range cooking.  It cuts loose with rustic flavors of blueberry cobbler rounding out its hearty finish.  It'll make any trail meal taste fancy.
