The name of a single grape variety may be used as the type designation if not less than 75 percent of the wine is derived from grapes of that variety, the entire 75 percent of which was grown in the labeled appellation of origin area. A wine may be labeled with a viticultural area appellation if not less than 85 percent of the wine is derived from grapes grown within the boundaries of the viticultural area. Seattle Reunion Wine List The name of a vineyard, orchard, farm or ranch shall not be used on a wine label, unless 95 percent of the wine in the container was produced from primary winemaking material grown on the named vineyard, orchard, farm or ranch. Cork taint is a broad term referring to a set of undesirable smells or tastes found in a bottle of wine , especially spoilage that can only be detected after bottling, aging and opening. The chief cause of cork taint is the presence of 2,4,6- trichloroanisole (TCA) in the wine. Corked wine containing TCA has a characteristic odor, variously described as resembling a moldy newspaper, wet dog, or damp basement. The incidence of bottles with cork taint is estimated to be between 1 and 15 percent. In a 2005 study of 2800 bottles tasted at the Wine Spectator blind-tasting facilities in Napa, California, 7% of the bottles were found to be tainted. .

  • 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford, Napa Valley
    2018 CABERNET SAUVIGNON RUTHERFORD, NAPA VALLEY A BRIEF HIS TORY 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. It all began with the acquisition of the Red Barn Vineyard in 1994. This prime location provided us with 40 acres of soil perfectly suited to grow Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and a century-old facility in which we would become Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon producers for the first time. Then Frank Leeds—longtime Frog’s Leap Vineyardist—agreed to a partnership with his family’s Chavez Leeds Vineyard. Situated on the iconic Rutherford Bench, this vineyard gave us our first real taste of how complex and connected dry-farmed, organically-grown Cabernet Sauvignon from this storied part of the appellation could be. In 2007, we purchased the historic Rossi Vineyard located in the very heart of the Rutherford Bench. This 50 acre vineyard was purchased by the Rossi family in 1906 and is located only a stone’s throw away from the two vineyards that originally inspired us. ABOUT THE WINE There is very little doubt that 2018 is going to go down as one of the best and most classic Cabernet vintages in the Napa Valley in recent memory. The Frog’s Leap Estate Grown will show you why. Superb balance, pure Rutherford aromas and a natural density achieved only in the best year.

  • About Heitz Cellar Founded in 1961, Heitz Cellar Is a Napa Valley
    About Heitz Cellar Founded in 1961, Heitz Cellar is a Napa Valley legend that has helped shape the history of Napa winemaking. Pioneering vintner Joe Heitz ushered in Napa’s modern era with his iconic, globally- celebrated wines—including Napa Valley’s first vineyard-designated Cabernet Sauvignon, the renowned Heitz Cellar Martha’s Vineyard. In 2018, the winery entered an exciting new chapter as the Heitz family passed this rich legacy into the hands of the Lawrence family, whose deep roots in agriculture and commitment to the same core values of fine winemaking made it a perfect match. “I’ve enjoyed coming to the Napa Valley for some time and have long admired the wine industry from afar,” says new owner Gaylon M. Lawrence, Jr. “Our family was fortunate to have an extraordinary opportunity to acquire such a remarkable family business with Heitz Cellar. We’re very excited about the winery’s bright future.” Under the Lawrence family’s guidance, the winery will continue to offer wines in the quintessential Heitz style. Made with an unwavering commitment to quality from organically farmed, 100% Napa Valley fruit, Heitz wines continue to represent the Lawrences’ agrarian roots and commitment to the stewardship of Napa Valley. A new chapter for Heitz Cellar Before the Lawrence family took the plunge into the wine world, their agricultural focus was mainly on cotton, soybeans, rice, and citrus in the South Eastern part of the United States. When Gaylon’s daughter Westin Lawrence relocated to Napa Valley to earn a degree from the Culinary Institute of America, she became captivated by its vineyards and culture.

  • 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III Rutherford - Napa Valley
    2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III Rutherford - Napa Valley THE VINEYARD Sojourn sources Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 337 grapes from the renowned F-Block within Vineyard Georges III in Rutherford. Soils are primarily sandy loam, with a fair amount of rock from the old creek bed that runs through F-Block. This vineyard is the former Beaulieu Vineyard No. 3, which was originally planted by Georges de Latour of Beaulieu in 1928. The property is located adjacent to the Caymus Winery between Conn Creek Road and Silverado Trail. WINEMAKER NOTES The 2015 vintage started with a bang – an unusually warm winter and dry spring promoted early bud-break, with severe drought conditions continuing throughout the growing season. Cabernet Sauvignon responded by producing loose clusters and smaller berries, with an abundance of flavor and ripe tannins. It was one of the earliest harvests on record with lower than average yields. The resulting wines display tremendous finesse, depth and aromatic intensity. Vineyard Georges III basked in the hot dry conditions, and the fruit ripened naturally to a condition of exceptional flavors and ripe tannins. The resulting wine is bold and rich, with ample structure. In 2015 we picked F-Block in two separate sweeps, taking the ripe clusters first and letting the others hang longer to reach optimal maturity. The individual components were then blended to create a beautifully balanced Cabernet Sauvignon with silky smooth textures that showcase the classic Rutherford Dust.

  • Inglenook Historical Timeline : 1842 - 2011
    INGLENOOK HISTORICAL TIMELINE : 1842 - 2011 1842 30th August – Gustav Ferdinand Nybom is born in Helsinki, Finland. 1861 Nybom graduates from the Nautical Institute in Helsinki (19 years old) After receiving his master papers from Nautical Institute, Nybom (22 yrs old) commands a ship headed to Alaska, which is part of the Russian 1864 Empire. Not long after the US purchase of Alaska, Nybom sails into San Francisco harbour with a ship loaded with Alaskan furs. He creates the Alaska Commercial Company (26 yrs old) which, for the next 50 years, would build important trading stations in the Yukon and Aleutian Islands. 1868 The company also owned ocean steamers, sailing vessels and river boats, which were the only means of transportation to and from San Francisco during the Gold Rush, as well as fur operations and salmon canneries. William C Watson, son in law of George C Yount (founder of Yountville) and manager of the Bank of Napa, buys the 78 acre G. Koni farm, west of Rutherford. He 1872 names it Inglenook, a Scottish expression meaning 'cozy corner' or 'fireside,' and plants the first vines. 1873 Nybom changes his name to Gustave Niebaum and marries Susan Shingleberger, a native Californian. 1873-1879 Agricultural and industrial depression hits the US economy. California winemakers consider abandoning the industry. Watson sells the Inglenook land to Judge S Clinton Hastings, founder of the University of California Hastings Law School. Niebaum, who by this time had amassed a personal fortune in excess of $10 million, buys the 440 acre farm from Mrs. Rohlwing and the 78 acre Inglenook Farm from Judge Hastings.

  • Knights Valley Meritage
    2010 KNIGHTS VALLEY MERITAGE Beringer Vineyards has owned and farmed its Knights Valley vineyards since the mid-1960’s when the Beringer family recognized that the cobbled, rocky alluvial soils created an ideal spot for growing high quality wine grapes. The Knights Valley designation was first used on a Beringer label in 1974. Beringer was instrumental in garnering official recognition for the area in 1983 as a premier wine growing region in the form of its own American Viticulture Area (AVA) designation. VINTAGE & VINEYARDS Vintage 2010 welcomed the return of rainfall to the region with annual precipitation averaging about twenty percent above average. With few exceptions, the growing season was slightly cooler than normal overall with healthy grapevines appellation-wide. A heat spike at the end of August accelerated ripening in some vineyards and helped deliver a harvest of fine quality. Located 17 miles northwest of our winery in St. Helena, Beringer’s Knights Valley vineyard features cobbly, well-drained soils that are well-suited to growing red Bordeaux varieties. The grapes for this wine, which includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot were harvested over a one month period between September 28 and October 27, 2010. WINEMAKING Kept in separate small lots until the final blending, the grapes for our Knights Valley Meritage were picked, quickly brought to the winery and placed in small stainless steel tanks for a 2-day cold soak designed to extract color and flavor from the SOURCING grapes. The juice was then fermented dry and the young wine was placed in small Knights Valley French oak barrels (21% new) for fifteen months.
