Stonestreet "Upper Barn" Alexander Valley Chardonnay 2014

Wine Advocate
(10/28/2016) "From a site made famous by Helen Turley when she was buying its fruit, the 2014 Chardonnay Upper Barn is at an 1,800-foot elevation and spent 11 months in 52% new French oak. A killer Chardonnay (as it always has been), the wine offers up notes of wet gravel, citrus oil, apple blossom, orange marmalade, honeysuckle, and a hint of almond paste. Fabulous fruit on the attack, mid-palate and finish characterizes this dry, gorgeous, compelling Chardonnay that should age effortlessly for a decade or more."

Silver Oak Cellars Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Winemaker's Notes
"Our 2014 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a garnet color with a ruby red rim and bluish tint. It has an alluring nose of chocolate-covered strawberries, vanilla, nutmeg, truffle and sage. On the palate, it has a broad yet delicate entry and offers cranberry flavors. These flavors are complimented by raspberry and pluot flavors and savory black olive characters on the mid-palate. The wine finishes with silky tannins, cedar and bramble flavors with excellent length and return. Given proper cellaring conditions, this wine will be deliciously drinkable through 2038."

(2/28/2019) "The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is made of 100% Cabernet aged 19 months in 33% new French oak. Deep garnet-purple colored, it rocks up with gregarious creme de cassis, baked blackberries and warm mulberries scents with hints of bay leaves, fragrant earth and unsmoked cigars plus a waft of menthol. Full-bodied, rich and packed with warm cassis and earthy layers, it has a sturdy frame of grainy tannins and loads of freshness, finishing with an herbal lift"

(10/1/2017) "A barrel-fermented white that offers complexity and nuance, this wine is steely and fleshy in texture, integrated and fully realized. Green apple, peach and vanilla combine effortlessly to reveal compelling flavor and length. This is a food-friendly wine that can also stand well on its own."

(10/29/2015) "The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Jackson Estate Series is a small cuvée of 7,000 cases and a really impressive wine. The mountain vineyards seem to dominate the wine's character, with moderately high but sweet tannin, briary blackberry and cassis fruit, and a crushed rock minerality present. The final blend was 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest the other Bordeaux varietals. This wine was about ready to go into the bottle right after I tasted it."

(11/2017) The folks at 90+ Cellars have a big time winner on their hands with this classic Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma's Alexander Valley. The flavors are lush, dense and juicy with dark raspberry, black cherry and blackberry fruits mixed with green olive, cedar, mocha, dried herbs and pepper. This youthful, exuberant, nearly full-bodied California Cabernet sells for $35 at the undisclosed winery that it hails from. You can grab it from us for just about half that amount. A very serious wine for the price.
