DAOU was the first in Paso Robles to produce a 98-point wine, and they seem inclined to make it a habit. The 2016 Patrimony, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 30 months in all new French oak, delivers stunning layers of flavor on a ripe frame with fantastic juiciness. Blueberry jam, blackberry pie, truffles, espresso and violets...really, all the explosive aroma and flavor you could ask for in a seriously killer Cabernet.

Maker Notes

Blending & Aging

Our 2019 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is comprised of 95.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5% Cabernet Franc, 1.9% Merlot and 0.4% Petit Verdot. After blending in early 2020, our 2019 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was transferred to American oak barrels from our cooperage, The Oak, where it aged for 24 months. Blending before barrel aging—a signature of our winemaking style—allows blends to be based on the inherent qualities of their vineyard components before oak influence. Vintage to vintage, the resulting Cabernets emerge integrated and ready to drink upon release.

Vintage Description

The winter rains started in late December, and by the time the vines awoke from their slumber, the soil profile was recharged, the lakes and reservoirs had filled up again, and the vintage was off to a healthy start. Lower-than-average spring temperatures resulted in a slightly delayed budbreak, and we received a welcome and unexpected rain event just before bloom. It did not interfere with fruit set and prepared the vines for the warm summer conditions. In 2019, the challenge was in the vineyard—to stay on top of prolific plant growth and to thin some of the crop later in the season for optimal vine balance. Summer and fall temperatures averaged a balmy 85°F with only three brief heat events during fruit ripening that brought in the usual fog pattern that makes the Alexander Valley growing region so special. Harvest commenced on September 11 and proceeded at a busy-but-steady pace for five weeks to finish on October 18. Crops were generous, and the quality we saw in the fermentations augured another outstanding vintage with layers of complexity, great depth and elegant tannins.

Wine Profile

Production Notes
Varietal Composition: 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot

Winemaker Notes
Embodying the luxurious beauty of great Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, this alluring wine draws you in with complex aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, blackberry, and sweet baking spices. On the palate, the tannins are supple and round, framing juicy layers of dark berries and chocolate, with sophisticated hints of white pepper and toasty oak emerging throughout the long, resonant finish.

Production
The season began with a warm winter with less than 50% of our average rainfall, leading us to take early drought precautions, including suckering, careful cover crop management, targeted irrigation and pruning for crop load. Budbreak occurred mid-March to early-April with bloom in mid-May. Summer temperatures fluctuated from 85º F to 105º F, which ensured excellent ripening, and we began harvesting Sauvignon Blanc in mid-August, with Chardonnay and Merlot following soon after. The remaining Bordeaux varietals were all picked by October 15th. The quality of our white grapes was superb, with ideal acid profiles and lush tropical flavors at lower-than-normal berry sugar levels. Red grapes were also surprisingly concentrated at lower sugar levels, while still displaying wonderful depth, complexity and juicy flavors.

A classic wine icon for thirty vintages – one of America’s favorite Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignons.

VINEYARDS

The predominant source for our J. Lohr Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon program is our vineyard located directly opposite our J. Lohr Paso Robles Wine Center, plus two newer sites just to the north (J. Lohr Sinclair and J. Lohr Jones ranches). The original Seven Oaks vineyard was planted on its own rootstock, utilizing some of the indigenous Estrella clones widely planted in Paso Robles. The soils in our vineyards vary from gravelly clay loam to limestone-based, over a relatively small parcel of land; various rootstock and clonal combinations have been used to maximize the expression of each individual site and the eventual wine’s layered complexity.

VINIFICATION

Maturation: 12 months aging in 60-gallon American oak barrels, 18% new

Barrel type: Predominantly medium-plus toasted Missouri and Minnesota oak, with toasted heads

CELLARING

Balanced and fruit forward upon release, with adequate structure to age seven years or longer.

This exquisite rye whiskey is distilled by the Diageo-owned Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Company, which is known for its unique and rare blends of whiskey.

The Scarlet Shade is a limited-edition release that is aged for 14 years in charred oak barrels, giving it a rich, deep amber color and a complex flavor profile. The nose is filled with notes of vanilla, caramel, and toffee, with hints of spice and a subtle smokiness. On the palate, the whiskey is smooth and mellow, with flavors of dark fruit, oak, and rye spice, and a touch of sweetness from the aging process.

One of the unique features of Orphan Barrel Scarlet Shade is its high rye content, which gives it a distinct spiciness and complexity that is highly sought after by whiskey aficionados. The rye grain used in the whiskey is sourced from various distilleries across North America, giving it a unique blend of flavors and aromas.

This whiskey is bottled at 90 proof, which is slightly higher than the typical proof for rye whiskey. This higher proof gives the Scarlet Shade a more robust flavor and a longer finish, making it ideal for sipping straight or mixing in a classic whiskey cocktail.

Far Niente Winery was established in 1885 by John Benson, a forty-niner of the California gold rush and uncle of the famous American impressionist painter, Winslow Homer. Benson hired architect Hamden McIntyre, creator of the former Christian Brothers winery—now the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone—to design the building. Constructed against a hillside in western Oakville, Far Niente functioned as a gravity flow winery, gently moving the grapes through each stage of production.

In 1979, Gil Nickel purchased the winery and adjacent vineyard and began a three-year restoration of the property, which resulted in placement on the National Register of Historical Places. During restoration, the original name, Far Niente, from an Italian phrase that romantically translated means “without a care,” was found carved in stone on the front of the building where it remains to this day. Today, the winery continues to focus on producing only the two varietal wines.

This wine is their 2018 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, a blend of 93.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3.8% Petit Verdot, 2.3% Cabernet Franc, .5% and .1% Malbec aged 17 months in French oak (65% new, 35% once-used). This wine combines grapes from select vineyards in Rutherford, Calistoga and St. Helena that complement the fruit from their Oakville estate vineyards.

Wine Enthusiast Magazine awarded this a "Cellar Selection" and scored it 95 points saying "This memorable Cabernet Sauvignon has small amounts of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec blended in. Aged 17 months in a majority of new French oak, it unfurls flavors of red fruit, dried herb and clove over a core of youthful tannin and spicy oak. Best from 2028–2038."

The Frank Family Vineyards first opened their doors in 1993, when former Disney Studios president Rich Frank bought the Larkmead Winery. The historic winery was constructed in 1884 and is the 3rd oldest winery in Napa Valley. Larkmead was famous for sparkling wines and it's said that Marilyn Monroe was a regular visitor. While they continue the tradition of producing sparkling wine using the French champenoise method, they are more focused on superb still wines today, employing the four estate vineyards in Rutherford, Napa-Carneros, and Napa's Capell Valley. Their Napa Valley wines are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Zinfandel, but they also have plenty of Reserve wines. They use 100% French oak barrels and everything is done on-site. They are also committed to sustainability and the winery is Napa Green certified since 2015. The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon vintage from their Napa Valley lineup is crafted from 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc varietals. These were harvested between September 20 and October 22, 2016. It's a rich and complex Cabernet Sauvignon with stunning structure.

At Duckhorn Vineyards, we have been making Sauvignon Blanc since 1982. Harvested from our estates and elite vineyard sites in California’s North Coast, this rich and elegant Sauvignon Blanc was blended with Sémillon to add depth and complexity. Fermented and aged using both stainless steel and French oak, it offers ripe citrus and tropical flavors, refreshing acidity and Sémillon-driven silkiness.

Wine Profile

Production Notes
Varietal Composition: 90.5% Sauvignon Blanc, 9.5% Sémillon

Winemaker Notes
This vibrant Sauvignon Blanc offers an enticing medley of tropical and citrus aromas, including pineapple, lemon verbena, lime and guava. The palate is lush and lively, combining a silky texture and energetic acidity with fresh melon, citrus, and pineapple flavors framed by subtle minerality throughout a long, bright finish.

Production
Winter and spring provided ample rain, which allowed the vines to set a generous crop with excellent canopies. Budbreak arrived a little over a week early, and we enjoyed warm, steady weather throughout spring and summer. We began picking Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and some Merlot as early as mid-August, but the first big push began after a Labor Day heat event, when our generous canopies paid dividends, helping shade the grapes. After a busy few weeks, a cool spell allowed the remaining grapes time to mature. To counter the impact of modest mid-September rains, we applied a careful fruit drop, and were equally diligent during sorting. Overall, harvest lasted eleven weeks, delivering wines with excellent concentration, supple tannins, lovely finesse and dynamic acidity.

Our classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon reveals aromas of ripe blackberry and boysenberry with hints of dark chocolate and sweet oak. On the palate, the dark fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and lush tannins that carry all the way over a lingering, elegant finish—with just a kiss of minerality. Enjoy this wine now, with everything from lamb burgers to filet mignon and fire-roasted portabello mushrooms—or lay the wine down and watch it continue to develop complexity in the bottle for years to come.

We blend our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from special spots throughout the region; The renowned cabernet sauvignon appellations of Rutherford and Oakville impart classic Napa Valley bold fruit intensity, while the warmer Calistoga area to the north, and the cooler southern reaches of the Suscol watershed contribute layers of complexity and depth of flavor. These distinct sites with diverse soils and microclimates enable us to craft a rich, yet elegant classic Bordeaux style blend that highlights the best of the Napa Valley.

The crafting of Orendain Almendrado Almond Tequila Liqueur involves a meticulous distillation procedure in specialized stainless steel containers, employing Silver Tequila. During the second distillation, they introduce carefully chosen natural almond flavorings, imparting a sought-after aroma and taste. This two-step distillation hones these scents and flavors, ultimately yielding the distinct excellence of Orendain Almendrado. This exclusive method yields a harmonious infusion of essences, culminating in a well-rounded and enjoyable product.

Caymus has a signature style that is dark in color, with rich fruit and ripe tannins – as approachable in youth as in maturity. Since its founding in 1972, Caymus has become renowned as a consistent leader in the production of Napa Valley Cabernet. Grapes for this wine are farmed in a range of Napa’s sub-appellations – from Coombsville to Calistoga – with fruit from the valley floor creating lushness and the hillsides providing backbone. Diversification enables us to make the best possible wine in a given year, featuring layered, lush aromas and flavors, including cocoa, cassis and ripe berries.

For decades, it has been our goal to produce a Rutherford AVA, estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon. Inspired by the early Cabernets of Inglenook and Beaulieu Vineyard, we’ve spent the past 20 years finding, farming, and obtaining highly sought-after land in Rutherford—with particular attention to the Rutherford bench—to perfect our craft. Years of effort with organic viticulture, dry farming and minimal cellar intervention yield a wine that could not be produced outside of the 10 square miles that define its appellation.

100% Certified organic and dry farmed. Our vines average 19 years of age, and are planted in the gravelly loams of the Pleasanton and Cortina soil series.
