  • 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.

  • Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon
    SONOMA COUNTY CABERNET SAUVIGNON For more than three decades, Kenwood Vineyards Artist Series remains the ultimate expression of artistry and ne winemaking by blending the nest Cabernet Sauvignon produced in Sonoma County. THE ARTIST Clare E. Rojas (born 1976) tells stories though painting, music, installations and video work. Her narratives used to be based in folk art tableaus that tackled gender stereotypes. Recently she has moved into pure geometric abstractions. She sees them as part of a continuum free of limitations and tied to her interest in color, line, shape and space. The geometric abstractions reference West Coast modernism, Quaker art, Native American textiles, Byzantine mosaics, and Outsider art. “For me the shift to abstraction was personal. There are a couple of challenges I find in abstraction. One is letting go of the idea that the viewer is supposed to perceive my work one way. There is no right or wrong way to look at the work.” Based in San Francisco, CA Clare takes inspiration for her art from her surroundings. For the Untitled piece featured on the 2013 label, Clare was moved to capture the reflection of light and shadow of a landscape over the course of a day, capturing time in moments. THE VINEYARDS Since its first vintage in 1975, Kenwood Vineyards Artist Series has SONOMA COUNTY LAKE SONOMA represented the “best of the best” of our Cabernet Sauvignon.

  • Knights Valley Property
    KNIGHTS VALLEY PROPERTY Offering Summary July 2018 www.SummersKnightsValleyRanch.com Information contained herein is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed, has not been verified, and is subject to change. KNIGHTS VALLEY PROPERTY Offered at $7,650,000 Summers’ Knights Valley estate, Summers Ranch, had its viticultural beginnings as a 10-acre Merlot vineyard planted more than 30 years ago by Dan Duckhorn. The 1985 vintage from the Knights Valley vineyard, with grapes purchased by the Finkelstein family (Whitehall Lane), gained acclaim when it was proclaimed the Merlot of the Year by Wine & Spirits Magazine. The Summers purchased the property in 1987 from the Hassan family. At that time the vineyard was still mostly planted to Merlot grapes which were sold to various wineries, such as Newton, Ferrari Carano and more. Over the years, the vineyard was replanted and expanded to a total of 26.6 +/- acres of various Bordeaux varietals, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon. Summers continues to make a small bottling of reserve Merlot from this storied vineyard as well as exquisite Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Petite Sirah, and Petit Verdot wines. The various Bordeaux varietals are also used as part of Summers “Grandmaster” Red Blend “Checkmate” wine. The property is located in an exquisite setting of majestic oaks with panoramic views to the western hills. In addition to the vineyard, the property features a 30 acre-ft pond, a 3BR/2.5BA main home and a 2BR/1BA granny unit. Knights Valley is located northwest of Calistoga, between Mt. St. Helena and the Alexander Valley. It is one of Sonoma’s warmest appellations, and its volcanic soils and close proximity to the Napa Valley have led to increased interest in Bordeaux varietals from the appellation in recent years.
