2019 Red Wine “Right Bank Blend”
“Williams’ take on a St. Emilion from Napa, the 2019 Right Bank Blend Red wine checks in 73% Cabernet Franc, 18% Merlot, and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, all from the Lewelling and Stagecoach Vineyards. It spent 22 months in 55% new barrels. Smoked red and black fruits, chocolate, exotic flowers, and graphite are just some of nuances here, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, ultra-fine, silky tannins, perfectly balance, and a great finish. It’s well worth seeking out and another awesome Cabernet Franc from the Valley.”

2019 Cabernet Sauvignon “Black Label”
“Thrilling red, blue, and black fruits emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label, and it shows classic tobacco leaf, lead pencil, and chocolatey nuances with air. A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot, aged 22 months in 70% new French oak, it has ultra-fine tannins, flawless balance, and a great, great finish. Jennifer Williams continues to make a powerful, elegant, and incredibly impressive style of Napa Cabernet, and this is a bandwagon readers should jump on sooner rather than later. The fruit for this comes from the Stagecoach, Lewelling, and Dr. Crane Vineyards.”

2019 Cabernet Sauvignon "Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard"
“From a cooler site in Oakville, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard has classic, old school Napa Valley notes of red and black fruits as well as floral, spicy, herbal nuances. Full-bodied on the palate, it has beautiful balance, perfectly integrated fruit, tannins and acidity, no hard edges, and that rare mix of intensity and elegance. This cuvée is 100% Cabernet from two blocks in the vineyard (Clones 4 and 337) and spent 22 months in 95% new French oak.”

2022 ROSÉ OF CABERNET FRANC
"The warm, dry summer created a more forward version of our elegant and expressive Rose’ of Cabernet Franc. We preserved its minerality by fermenting and ageing it in stainless steel barrels, untouched for 5 months. We love its beautiful salmon pink color and fresh fruits. It’s a perfumey wine with floral top notes of narcissus and cherry blossom. At its core are juicy ripe melon, sweet orange and strawberry. It’s our preferred summer sipper!"

2021 Rosé of Cabernet Franc
"Clean, fresh, and pure, this vibrant Rosé has all you want for summer. Its attractive light blush color and high clarity make it perfect for poolside relaxation. This wine pops with pretty floral notes of citrus blossoms and lilac blooms. It's driven by a ripe tangerine note and a touch of lemon-lime crispness. Fruity and fresh, a hint of ginger and orange peel gives the wine some depth of flavor. Hard to put down, this is an attractive crowd pleasure that will quickly lead to an empty glass."

2018 Cabernet Sauvignon "Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard" - SOLD OUT
“Just about pure perfection, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard will stand up to anything coming out of this Grand Cru vineyard outside of St. Helena. Incredible crème de cassis, smoked earth, graphite, and tobacco define the bouquet, and it’s full-bodied, with a layered, multidimensional mouthfeel, perfect balance, and a finish that just won’t quit. Based on 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot aged 19 months in French oak, it’s a sensational 2018 readers should snatch up.”

2021 Sauvignon Blanc - SOLD OUT
“Fresh and clean, this wine is full of sweet orange and the ripe flesh of nectarine. It is perfumed with a touch of ginger and has notes of salinity and minerality. Although it doesn’t have any residual sugar, the palate naturally has the feeling of round, fullness and the flavors have a pleasant sweetness. Its vibrancy makes for a mouthwatering finish, and an easy-to-drink wine.”
