NAPA VALLEY SESSIONS CULTIVATING EXCELLENCE Five Nights with Antonio Galloni In celebration of the Napa Valley Library Wine Auction, join us for an amazing line up of Napa Valley Sessions, an online education series that explores the region. We've enlisted the help of Antonio Galloni of Vinous to showcase the best of Napa Valley. Starting on February 11, Antonio will host five sessions, each focused on a different topic such as Napa Valley’s AVAs, unexpected varieties and some of Napa Valley's most iconic producers. RSVP NOW What a pleasure it is to announce the first of what we hope is many “Direct from the Cellar” library wine auctions—hosted by the Napa Valley Vintners and pow- ered by the world’s #1 auction house: Zachys. Before we get into the fine print, we’re going to start with two important notes: there is NO BUYER’S PREMIUM on this auction, and all of the lots are fulfilled direct from the participating win- eries, which means that if you are a winning bidder, you are allowing Zachys to share your name with the winery that donated the lot(s) you won! Now that we’ve got that out of the way—a bit about the auction. The effects of both Covid-19, travel restrictions, restaurant closures and the Califor- nia wildfires have been difficult on the wine industry, but the NVV’s goals are the same as they’ve been since 1944: to champion Napa as the world’s premier wine region, and to provide leadership in solving community issues in the Napa Valley. To support the more than 550 members of Napa Valley Vintners, this auction features lots direct from the cellars of Napa Valley’s most prestigious wineries including Harlan Estate, Screaming Eagle, Opus One, Shafer Vineyards, Chappellet, Thomas Rivers Brown, Freemark Abbey, Ovid, Arietta and Stag’s Leap. All of the lots include back-vintage wines, unavailable elsewhere, and many include large format bottles, verticals of multiple vintages, and exclusive tastings (virtually or in person when allowed) of top Napa wines directly with the winemakers. At Zachys, we love the Napa Valley. We couldn’t be happier to assist with this amazing way to bring California direct to the doorstep of so many of our collector friends throughout the world. And remember—for those of you reading this from abroad, this can be a great opportunity to bring a winemaker into your home— over Zoom, of course! Have fun bidding in this amazing sale.

The Amici team believes that winemaking begins in the vineyard—a blend of the soil, climate and people who farm it as they strive to create great wine that is a pure, unadulterated expression of its vineyard origin. The Amici Cellars Morisoli Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a complex, balanced wine with rich brambleberry notes. “We’re fortunate to work with some of the best vineyard sites in Napa, and one that stands out most to me year after year is Morisoli. This beautiful and historic vineyard imparts a classic Rutherford Dust character that shines through in the bottle, and our close relationship with the Morisoli family adds even more meaning to this wine each vintage,” says winemaker Tony Biagi. Tony would like to share the amazing opportunity to receive this highly limited 5-year vertical—one etched, 3-liter bottle of Morisoli Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from each of the 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 vintages.

  • Frog's Leap Winery in 2011
    NA0170 Frog’s Leap Winery in 2011— The Sustainability Agenda [Case and Video] Armand Gilinsky, Jr., Sonoma State University There’s an old saying in the wine industry that goes, “In order to make a small fortune you need to start out with a large one.” Unfortunately, I’d never heard of that “rule” before I started out. I came here to the Napa Valley 27 years ago with $40 in my pocket, sold my motorcycle for $5,000 to start a winery, and now I owe $22 million to the bank. And I still haven’t been able to buy back my motorcycle, because the current loan covenants with the bank do not permit me to ride, so I’m not sure that I am a success story, really. –John Williams, founder & CEO, Frog’s Leap Winery.1 rom the autumn of 1999 to late spring 2011, most Napa Valley premium wineries were embracing modernity—launching websites, using viral marketing, develop- Fing wine clubs, and shifting distribution channels from on–premises accounts to direct sales. John Williams, the co–founder, owner, and CEO/winemaker of Frog’s Leap Winery in Rutherford, California, had followed suit by making modest invest- ments in these marketing programs. Williams nevertheless remained skeptical that these changes would dictate his winery’s future. In May 2011, Williams reflected upon his heritage as the son of upstate New York dairy farmers and his 35 years’ working in the wine industry, since graduation from Cornell University. Williams not only displayed his normally irreverent humor, but also acknowledged that he had quietly developed the industry’s most sophisticated environmental management system.2 Environmental management systems (EMS) had risen in importance for wine businesses, as they con- fronted survival threats from the natural world, such as rising energy prices, water scarcity, mounting concerns about chemical exposure, and climate change.3 Yet Williams won- dered aloud: “How could Frog’s Leap, which has grabbed the ‘low–hanging fruit’ of environmental management, become even more sustainable?” See Exhibit 1 for a time- line of events in Frog’s Leap’s evolution.

The duo of Experiment wines from 2006 pays respect to two of our greatest sources of inspiration: the two banks of the Gironde River. All of us at Ovid Napa Valley are drawn to the wines of Bordeaux, from Pomerol and St. Emilion on the Right Bank to Pauillac and St. Estephe on the Left Bank. Using the four varieties we have planted in our vine- yard as building blocks, we created two very different wines: Experiments No. D7.86 and No. M9.36. Together, these wines showcase the broad spectrum of possibilities that exist when producing Bordeaux-inspired wines from our unique terroir. tasting notes: D7.86 With a nod to the Right Bank, D7.86 brings forward the defining characteristics of two distinguished varieties: Cabernet Franc and Merlot.

  • February 2014 Newsletter
    FEBRUARY 2014 NEWSLETTER Napa Valley: A wonderland of terroir Napa Valley is widely regarded as one of the finest grape-growing regions in the world. To our mind, what really stands it apart is its incredible diversity. Despite its diminutive size - just 30 miles long and 5 miles wide at its widest point - the region benefits from an incredible mix of climates, soils and elevations, allowing an array of grapes to thrive here - most prominently Cabernet Sauvignon, but also Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Cabernet Franc. Napa Valley makes just 5% of the wine of Bordeaux by volume, and 25% of that of Burgundy, but has just as many varietals. (For more information on the climate and geology of Napa Valley and its sub-appellations (AVAs), please see our report Exploring Napa Valley: A Wonderland of Terroir.) Vineyards range in elevation from sea level to a whopping 2,600 ft One of Napa Valley's main differentiators is its topography. Nestled between two relatively high mountain ranges, vineyards range in elevation from sea level to a whopping 2,600 ft.
