This wine is from United States, California region, Napa County sub-region and Stags Leap District appellation. The FAY vineyard is the land where the story of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars began back in 1969 when Warren Winiarski tasted Nathan Fay's 1968 homemade Cabernet. Warren knew, instantly, that he had found what he was searching for-classic elements of fruit and structure, suppleness and balance. It was a style that Warren refers to as “an iron fist in a velvet glove.' As luck would have it, an adjoining prune orchard was for sale. The Winiarski's purchased the land and planted a vineyard-now known as S.L.V. - and soon after, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars was born.. In 1986, Nathan offered to sell his vineyard to the Winiarski family. In his honor, the vineyard was named FAY. By the time we acquired the vineyard, many of the vines were nearly a quarter-century old and nearing the end of their best growing years. We embarked on an ambitious replanting program, experimenting with rootstocks, row orientation, and trellising to attain optimal expression of the terroir. Our replanting efforts are now fully realized and all vineyard blocks are in production. Vineyard blocks on the eastern slope, closest to the Palisades, contribute structural components derived from the volcanic soils there, while the more aromatic components come from the vineyard blocks on the western alluvial upland. When blended together, we achieve the classic expression of ”an iron fist in a velvet glove.”. There is ”plenty” to love about this stylish wine, starting with generous aromas of violets, blackberry, nutmeg, and black licorice reminiscent of “Good ‘n Plenty' candy. The aromas are followed by an alluring mix of dark fruit flavors that envelop the palate with accent notes of chocolate and vanilla. The 2005 FAY Cabernet Sauvignon is smooth and silky, with a richness and persistence all the way through the slightly smoky oak finish. Enjoy this expressive wine with Moroccan spiced lamb or duck with Port-cherry sauce. CABERNET SAUVIGNON Wine CALIFORNIA STILL WINE Minimize

This wine is from United States, California region, Napa County sub-region and Napa Valley appellation. While outstanding, the two 2005 Cabernet Sauvignons are not as impressive as Etude-s 2004 efforts. The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa-s deep ruby/purple hue is followed by notes of black currants, lead pencil, tobacco leaf, and spice box. Well-made, with medium body as well as good fruit, texture, and depth, it should drink nicely for 12-15+ years.93WS - Loamy earth, currant and blackberry aromas have a dusty edge. Intense yet elegant, full-bodied and concentrated, with firm tannins providing structure and depth. Best from 2010 through 2016. 296 cases made. -JL CABERNET SAUVIGNON Wine CALIFORNIA STILL WINE Minimize

This wine is from United States, California region, Sonoma County sub-region and Dry Creek Valley appellation. The beauty of the Dry Creek Valley is apparent; the lush vineyards that extend from the valley floor to the hills signal the real charisma of the region with its precise blend of climate, soil and exposure that produces remarkable Cabernet Sauvignon. The Dry Creek Valley is approximately 16 miles long and only 2 miles wide at its widest point; the Dry Creek Valley was created by uplift and subsidence along ancient earthquake faults, accompanied by the deposit of alluvial material.

This wine is from United States, California region, Napa County sub-region and Stags Leap District appellation. Dramatic improvements are clearly underway at Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, which was sold to a consortium led by Tuscany's Piero Antinori in 2007. Antinori brought in well-known consultant Renzo Cotarella to improve the quality and, hopefully, get this winery back to the lofty heights it achieved in the seventies and early eighties. They seem to be well on their way, which is good news for consumers. This is a large estate of 104 acres, all situated as one giant block of vineyards in the southern part of the Stags Leap appellation. The change in ownership and winemaking staff shows progressive improvement with each vintage starting with 2007. The 2009s look to be their best wines to date. As for the 2007 reds, normally four cuvees are produced, all based on Cabernet Sauvignon, including the Cask 23, which comes from the best lots from the Fay and S.L.V. estate vineyards after fermentations are completed. The most impressive Stag's Leap Wine Cellars' offerings made since the 1985 vintage are the three 2009s I was permitted to taste from barrel.. Minimize

This wine is from Italy, Veneto region, Veneto sub-region. Inheritors of their father’s 20 hectare estate in the eastern part of the Valpolicella zone, the four Castagnedi Brothers (Tiziano, Armando, Paolo & Massimo) acquired another 30 hectares in 1989, which spurred the birth of the estate's first wines as Tenuta Sant’Antonio in 1995. All four brothers are involved in the project, with extensive experience managing their father’s vineyards as well as consulting for properties throughout Italy. Tenuta Sant’Antonio’s hillside vineyards are located among the Mezzane, Lavagno, and San Martino Buon Albergo villages at an average altitude of 350 meters. Meticulous attention to vine density (Guyot trained at 7-8,000 vine per hectare), hand harvesting, and low yields provide fruit of exceptional quality, requiring minimal “intervention' during wine-making. Due to their commitment to quality and extensive estate vineyard holdings, they are positioned to become one of the most important producers in the Valpolicella zone, offering both availability and affordability.

This wine is from United States, Washington region, Columbia Valley sub-region. The Columbia Crest Reserve Semillon Ice Wine is a brilliant, complex wine with unusual origins.Like many great European ice wines, this wine was crafted from grapes left hanging on the vine into December. During the 2005 harvest, we designated a Semillon block from the Columbia Crest Estate suitable for dessert wine. The block was repeatedly evaluated during the ensuing weeks, and after each evaluation we opted for longer hang time. Cooler temperatures blew through the vineyard late in the year, and as the thermometer registered 17F December 9, 2005, harvest commenced.Rock solid grapes were harvested and pressed just until the grape juice was liberated from the fruit. Because the sweet juice melts before the water component, the remaining frozen fruit material was quickly discarded to avoid diluting the rich, succulent nectar. The juice fermented in stainless steel tanks, then was filtered and bottled.. “Sweet earth, pineapple and honey aromas lead into wonderful coconut, pineapple and melon on the palate, culminating in a long lingering seductive finish.' - Ray Einberger, Winemaker Dessert SEMILLON Wine Washington Still Wine Minimize

This wine is from United States. To make a good chardonnay is an easy task, but to make one with a character and grace all its own is not.With this first bottling of his 'Signature' chardonnay from the 2005 vintage, winemaker Gino Razzi has succeeded in this task.Barrel - fermented in both medium-toast new and second-year barriques, and aged on the lees for eight months to gain complexity, this special cuvee combines the elegance and complexity of fine white Burgundy with the power and ripeness of the New World .Made exclusively from fruit from the 30 year old vines of the William Penn Vineyard in Concordville, Pennsylvania, this chardonnay displays a deep golden color, with aromas of ripe apple and tangerine notes as well as overtones of dried apricot and fig that are also evident on the palate, which exudes a creamy, lush texture. The finish is long and elegant, with hints of minerality and vanilla before the fruit sensations return on the end of the finsh.Enjoy this wine with cream-based sauces or aged hard cheeses.Although ready to drink now, this wine has the ability to age well and improve for 5-7 years.100% Chardonnay from the William Penn Vineyard50% - 50% New and second year French oak14.1% Alcohol 3.41 pH Wine OTHER DOMESTIC WINE Minimize
