Lot 454 | 2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
"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 520 | 2022 Russian River Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
"Aromas of bramble, raspberry coulis, and plum abound on the nose, haloed by eucalyptus and herbs before making way for delicate crushed violets dancing underneath. Rich upon palate entry, a core of dark fruits is enlivened by vibrant black cherries, while new leather is interwoven with medium acidity and polished-yet-chewy tannins – the incredible structure of this wine can’t be overstated. The finish is both enduring and complex, where resonant red fruits merge seamlessly with crushed florals, granite minerality, and waves of toasty vanilla. A stunning wine tailored to elevate your steak dinners."
Lot 463 | 2023 Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc
"A scintillating invitation of gooseberry and green melon leaps out of the glass, gracefully interwoven with apple and citrus blossoms. Immaculate on the entry, it awakens the palate with supple texture and minerality framed by medium+ acidity, followed by nuances of slate and fresh limes. The finish is pristine, fresh, and further accentuates the palate profile with its lingering intensity. Gorgeous now, but the ceiling of its elegance will only rise in the years to come."
Lot 456 | 2022 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
"Pouring a beautiful dark color in the glass, the wine boasts a captivating depth and concentration, revealing a welcoming bouquet of cherry, boysenberry, dried herbs, and leather. On the palate, dark fruits mingle with cherry-like acidity, wet gravel minerality, and a hint of peppercorn spice, leading to polished-yet-grippy tannins. The finish is enduring, barrel-focused in its youth with toffee, vanilla, and nutmeg overlaying umami-rich black fruit that promises plenty of complexity yet to come with bottle aging."
Lot 487 | 2023 Sonoma County Rosé of Pinot Noir
"The first whiff brings aromas of strawberries and rose petals, backed by white florals, stone fruits, and a bouquet of dried herbs. Lively and energetic on the palate, bright acidity and strong minerality uplift strawberry, watermelon, and herbs, riding an incredible texture and weight that extends the white florals. The mouthwatering dry finish has plenty of structure, carrying a touch of spice and cranberry-like hints before ending with wet stones and a kiss of vanilla blossom. This is a bottle that disappears very quickly on a hot day."
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 486 | 2023 Napa Valley Chardonnay
"On the nose, you’re greeted with a bouquet of lemon curd, yellow apple, honeysuckle, and fresh butter – quintessential aromas of a top-class Napa Valley Chardonnay. The palate entry is both round and concentrated, offering a luxurious blend of butter, citrus, and vanilla, all framed by medium+ acidity and a touch of baking spice. The finish is resonant and uplifted, showcasing classic vanilla and butter alongside lemon oil nuances, with an impressive length that reveals hints of fresh cream lingering on the palate."
Lot 461 | 2023 Napa Carneros Pinot Grigio
"The wine awakens the senses with a harmony of guava, pears, peaches, freshly sliced apples, and floral notes on the nose. Palate entry is well-balanced and a touch creamy, opening with Meyer lemons, citrus blossoms, and stone fruit ensconced within uplifted acidity and a crystalline minerality. The finish is long, clean, and expressive, closing with a lingering embrace of spiced apples. Immensely refreshing and highly quaffable, this will both satisfy the veterans among you and also set the Pinot Grigio bar very high for the first-timers."
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."
