O'Shaughnessy Mt Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

(12/2016) "The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and usually my favorite from Betty O'Shaughnessy. She produces just under 1,200 cases of this wine, which has the classic blueberry, blackberry and acacia flower nose that comes from the high elevations of this wild and backward mountain area in southern Napa Valley. Dense bluish/purple to the rim, with loads of blueberries on the palate, big-time glycerin, sweet tannin, low acidity and a long, layered finish, this is terrific wine to drink now and over the next 20-25 years. Drink Date 2016 - 2041."

Roserock "Zephirine" Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir 2015

James Suckling
(11/1/2017) "Incredible aromas of chamomile, hibiscus, fruit tea, lavender, dried strawberries, cherries, lemons and light white chocolate. Medium-bodied but with crazily formed tannins that are like velvety strings and are surrounded by vivacious acidity. A phenomenal, awe-inspiring finish. An indisputably unique wine. Drink from 2020."

Cayuse "Cailloux Vineyard" Walla Walla Valley Syrah 2016
97-99
Jeb Dunnuck
(4/5/2018) "Moving to the Syrahs and always the largest production release, the 2016 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard includes a small amount of co-fermented Viognier and is raised all in puncheons. Cold campfire/ash, plums, dried violets, and pepper all flow to a rich, full-bodied, incredibly opulent Syrah that has a stacked, thick mid-palate, bright acidity, and a great, great finish. It's another killer vintage for this vineyard and it's going to be one of the Syrahs of the vintage."

Cayuse "En Chamberlin" Columbia Valley Syrah 2016
95-97
Jeb Dunnuck
(4/5/2018) "The 2016 Syrah En Chamberlin Vineyard offers more tertiary notes of smoked plums, iron, shiitake mushrooms, forest floor, and peppery herbs. It's concentrated, full-bodied, and balanced, with a big mid-palate, yet it glides across the palate with an almost Burgundian silkiness. This is a classic En Chamberlin that has all the Rocks funkiness and complexity, yet a beautiful elegance on the palate."

Cayuse "En Cerise" Walla Walla Valley Syrah 2016
94-97
Jeb Dunnuck
(4/5/2018) "The 2016 Syrah En Cerise Vineyard is another perfumed, complex Syrah. Black cherries, licorice, earth, charcoal, and roasted herb characteristics all flow to a rich, medium to full-bodied, concentrated 2016 that has bright yet integrated acidity, fine tannin, and a big finish. It's one of the fresher, juicier Syrahs in the lineup, yet packs plenty of fruit, and has a remarkable salinity on the finish."

Silver Oak Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Winemaker's Notes
"The 2013 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is dark ruby in color and entices you with a nose of raspberry, cassis and loose pipe tobacco. This full-bodied wine has an assertively silky structure and is notably spicy on the palate. Flavors of sage and blackberry mark the wine's entry. The strong acidity in the mid-palate is followed by a lingering finish. Given proper cellaring, this wine will provide drinking pleasure through 2038. The 2013 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is comprised of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot."

Wine Advocate
(10/31/2017) "The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Generations is deep garnet-purple in color with an earthy, dried herbs and scorched earth-scented nose over a core of blackberry pie and cassis with Indian spices and menthol. Full-bodied, concentrated and rich in the mouth, with firm, grainy tannins and a savory/earthy character, it finishes long with a mineral hint. Drink Date: 2020 - 2040."

Wine Spectator
(10/15/2018) "Dense and intensely flavored, with violet, black currant, blackberry, graphite, wild herb and spice aromas and flavors, this is concentrated and solidly built, yet also harmonious, vibrant and pure. Approachable now, but should be better in a few years. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2021 through 2035."

Herman Story Wines "Larner Vineyard" Ballard Canyon Red 2014
96
Jeb Dunnuck
(8/10/2017) "From a site in Ballard Canyon (Santa Barbara County) and made from 52% Syrah and 48% Grenache, the 2014 Larner is another inky colored effort that reveal a fresh, lively perfume of flowers, blackberries, smoked meats and spice. Full-bodied, ethereally textured and seamless, with no hard edges and a seamless texture, it's another blockbuster from Russell that I'd be thrilled to drink anytime over the coming 4-6 years."

Silver Oak Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
The 2012 Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has just arrived at Vin Chicago! While many top producers have already released their 2013 and even 2014 vintages, it is the longstanding philosophy of Silver Oak to hold on to their wines until they are ready to drink. While we have not yet tasted this release, the overall quality of Napa's 2012 vintage leads us to have high expectations. We offer it for the very lowest price authorized by the winery. A penny less and they'd pull our allocation!
