  • 2013 HUNN Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley FINAL
    2013 CABERNET SAUVIGNON NAPA VALLEY Release Date September, 2015 Production 568 Cases Appellation Napa Valley: Calistoga AVA, Rutherford AVA, Oakville AVA, Coombsville AVA & Howell Mountain AVA Varietal Composition 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot Winemaking Team Seana and Justin Hunnicutt Stephens, Proprietor Kirk P. Venge, Winemaker Cooperage Aged for 22 months in 100% French oak, 50% new Tasting Notes Our 2013 Napa Cab is a real beauty. Perfumed, almost feminine notes of strawberry and raspberry tart dance on the edge of the glass with darker cassis, black cherry and vanilla adding layers to the nose and hinting at the beast within. On the entry, volumes of supple bright cherry, plum and blueberry pie rush to the fore and linger well into the mid-palate. As the tannins begin to wash over and meld with the bright fruit notes, soft secondary flavors of milk chocolate and pie crust coat the palate and provide harmonious balance through the finish. This wine shows great promise and speaks well for 2013 as a year with great aging potential. While 2012 was a bombastic show stopper, 2013 will prove to be the nuanced genius plucking the right strings for years to come. Patience is a virtue, but then again, who needs virtue when great wine is waiting. Drink when you are ready, decant with vigor over the next 5 years and confidently enjoy to 2030.

  • HMVGA Facts and Faqs
    FACTS: ESTABLISHED: The Howell Mountain American Viticultural Area (AVA) was established in 1983 (the first established AVA within the greater Napa Valley AVA). LOCATION: Napa Valley, due east of St. Helena (St. Helena is midway between Napa and Calistoga). Howell Mountain is located in the Vaca Mountain Range, and the AVA itself is defined as anything above the 1,400 ft. elevation point on the mountain, so the Howell Mountain appellation is literally a mountain top on the eastern side of Napa Valley. TOTAL AREA: 14,000 acres ACRES UNDER VINE: 1,500 acres HIGHEST VINEYARD: 2500 feet (Cakebread Cellars) HIGHEST WINERY: 2300 feet (Robert Craig Winery) WINERIES: 47 GROWERS: 38 SOILS: There are two main soil types on Howell Mountain: decomposed volcanic ash (called “tufa”) and red clay. AVERAGE TOP SOIL DEPTH: 12 to 24 inches AVERAGE VINEYARD SLOPE: varies 10° to 30° VARIETIES: Variety Variety Cabernet Sauvignon Zinfandel Cabernet Franc Petite Sirah Merlot Syrah Petite Verdot St. Macaire Malbec Sauvignon Blanc HOWELL MOUNTAIN VINTNERS & GROWERS ASSOCIATION P.O. Box 38 • Angwin, California 94508 • (707) 965-2665 HISTORY: History in the making… Chief among those moving early onto the mountain to establish vineyards were Jean Adolph Brun and Jean V. Chaix—two experienced vintners who planted hundreds of acres of vineyards and made a success selling the wine they produced. Because they also owned an Oakville operation (today the location of The Napa Wine Co.), they were among the most successful local wine businesses during the boom of the 1880s. Eventually the operation sold out to others and was closed during Prohibition.

  • Nickel-Nickel-Press
    NICKEL & NICKEL: A SINGLE-MINDED COMMITMENT TO VINEYARD-DESIGNATED WINES The wineries dotted along the flat, tidy expanse of the Oakville appellation of the Napa Valley are celebrated for producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon wines. In fact, the region’s vineyards are some of the most coveted in the valley. The Nickel & Nickel winery, founded in 1997 but born from a tradition of exceptional winemaking, is devoted to creating wines that articulate the singular expressions of the vineyards in Oakville and beyond. Established by the partners of Far Niente, Nickel & Nickel is based on a philosophy of producing 100 percent varietal, single-vineyard wines that best express the distinct personality of each vineyard. The winery’s current releases include Napa Valley Cabernet Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Syrah from Sonoma. Nickel & Nickel represents a distinct departure from the iconic Far Niente estate wines in that they are focused on single vineyard sites. The Nickel & Nickel wines are made by a dedicated winemaker, Joe Harden. By being devoted solely to producing 100-percent varietal, single-vineyard wines, Nickel & Nickel provides consumers with a more in-depth understanding about wine, and the grapes and vineyards that it comes from. Post Office Box 7, Oakville, California 94562 · Telephone (707) 944 0693 · Fax (707) 944 2312 Winemaking Seventeen different single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons are currently produced, as well as single-vineyard Chardonnay, Merlot and Syrah. Although the winery is located adjacent to the Sullenger Vineyard in Oakville, Nickel & Nickel works with vineyards from many different parts of the Napa Valley.

  • Biale Bulletin Spring 2019
    4038 Big Ranch Road Presort Standard Napa, CA 94558 U.S. Postage PAID Napa, CA Permit No. 103 Address Service Requested Spring 2019 THE BULLETIN Preserving the Legacy of Zinfandel & Petite Sirah Vintage 2017—From Joy to Tragedy Biale’s beautiful 2017 wines excel in a year nurtured by life-giving rain...then disaster struck. When we savor the striking beauty of the 2017 Biale wines in the months and years to come, the historic vintage will always be remembered as a case of extreme contrast—like epic bookends to the 2017 growing season. It began with oh-so welcome, drought-busting, record winter rains, which soaked the vineyards, filled the reservoirs, and prompted cork- popping celebrations that the drought was finally over. It also tested Napa’s new flood control system—it works! However, in October, just as everyone’s 2017 harvests hit the finish line, the entire North Bay wine region was sucker-punched by sudden and horrific wind-driven wildfires that claimed many lives and incinerated thousands of homes. Thankfully, vineyards acted like firebreaks, and although some in the mountains were singed, most remained unharmed and most wineries had already harvested 90%+ of their grapes. To go from the feeling of glorious relief to such a state of anxiety and sadness within eight months was a case of emotional-whiplash. In one way or another, everybody in Northern California wine country was affected by the catastrophic fires, and although few as a percentage of the whole had homes affected, it will take a while for these folks to rebuild.

  • California Wine Guide California
    CALIFORNIA WINE GUIDE CALIFORNIA California is the center of the wine world in the United States. Every one of the world’s noble grape varieties thrives in California’s diverse microclimates and soil types. Though as a wine-producing region California is relatively young, the soils that contribute to California’s finest wines have been developing for 10 million years. The first vinifera vines were planted by Franciscan missionaries in 1770 but it wasn’t until two centuries later, having survived Prohibition and phylloxera, that California’s wine industry truly gained momentum. Today, nearly 90% of all wines made in the United States are produced in California and it is home to the great majority of the country’s American Viticultural Areas (AVAs). • Reading a California Wine Label • Understanding California’s AVAs and Terroir • Recognizing St. Francis Winery & Vineyards Sequoia Grove and Wild Oak wines California Grape Cakebread Cellars Varieties Benziger Family Winery • Identifying Domaine Carneros California’s “Green” Practices • Exploring California Wine Regions • Kobrand’s Foley Estates California Portfolio THE CALIFORNIA WINE LABEL Brand or Proprietary Name The name used by the bottler to identify the product.

Ulf Jansson, Oxenstiernsgatan 23, Vid ett senare tillfälle återvände jag till Napa. Denna gång för att flyga ballong. En tidig sommarmorgon Stora Sydafrikaresan 115 27 Stockholm Tel 08-667 21 42 flyger vi i området norr om Napa och landar efter en dryg timma mitt i en vingård. En liten gräsfläck lyckades vi hitta och jag inser idag vad dyrt det kunde blivit om vi inte kommit rätt. Jag har flugit många, Annonser många timmar sedan dess och på många spännande platser men minnesbilderna från denna flygning är Business Factory AB fortfarande starka och poppar upp med jämna mellanrum. Safari, vingårdar, Taffelberget i Kapstaden, Godahoppsudden, Rasmus Ohlin Intresset för viner från Napa och Sonoma ökade starkt när jag några år senare deltog i en av Skaraborgs- nutidshistoria, ostronodling, restauranger, pingviner och mycket mera... Tel 08 653 60 43 sektionen (det fanns bara en sektion i Skaraborg då) ordnad vinprovning med viner från området.
