2012 Priest Ranch Petite Sirah Somerston Vineyards

 The 2012 Petite Sirah, which is aged in larger puncheons, shows fabulous fruit, dense purple color and is 100% Petite Sirah, tipping the scales at 15% natural alcohol, which is relatively high for this varietal. Deep blueberry and black raspberry fruit with camphor, white flowers and licorice are present in the full-bodied, very young, grapy and primary wine, but with plenty of upside and aging potential. It should drink well for the next 15 or more years. $40 Our Price $32.99

2013 Rudius Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

Winemaker Notes: Laying only miles apart, the two sites that come together in our 2013 Oakville Cabernet bottling are complete opposites, and yet, the best bedfellows. The power and flash of the eastern Oakville terraces finds its counterpoint in the bright aromatics and exotic spice of the western foothills, and the marriage is stunning! This Cabernet makes its opening remarks with fragrant holiday spice and inky, brambly fruit. A teasing entry, with a surprising slate-driven coolness born in the cobblestone stone soils to the west, is bolstered by plush boysenberry and long-sun-soaked tannins made in the hot afternoons on the east side. We fell in love with this complex interplay soon after the wine went to barrel two years ago, and have continued to be impressed with its maturation each passing month. You can confidently pop the cork and enjoy the Oakville Cab soon after receiving it, but don't be shy about aging this one. It will undoubtedly be evolving and showing yet undiscovered layers for at least 8-10 years. $68

2015 Cliff Lede Napa Sauvignon Blanc

Winemaker Notes: The 2015 Sauvignon Blanc is loaded with aromas of Meyer lemon and candle wax atop layers of honeysuckle, ginger, and tangerine. Spring blossoms of wisteria, lupin, and California buckeye abound in the upper register of the seductive perfume. The full-bodied, coating mouthfeel expands out on the palate with a rich crème brulee like texture as unctuous notes of bosc pear, orange marmalade, and lavender honey coalesce along the long, satisfying finish. $27 Our Price $21.95

2013 Hartford Family Winery Pinot Noir Maclean Block

The 2013 Pinot Noir MacLean Block comes from a vineyard east of the town of Occidental and saw 36% new French oak prior to being bottled unfined and unfiltered.

It should drink well for up to a decade. $65 Our Price $59.99

2013 Hartford Family Winery Chardonnay Far Coast Vineyard

From the Sonoma Coast, the 2013 Chardonnay Far Coast Vineyard (396 cases) emerges from a mountain ridge north of Fort Ross. This cuvée sees about 35% new French oak, and the 2013 clearly shows the tropical fruit side of Chardonnay with lots of pineapple, mango and candied tangerine-like notes.

2014 Joseph Phelps Insignia Proprietary Red

The 2014 Insignia is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot and the rest Malbec and Cabernet Franc (no Merlot whatsoever). Production was slightly higher at 14,500 cases. This wine has an inky bluish purple color, a big, sweet kiss of crème de cassis, blackberry, blueberry, and hints of graphite and charcoal. It is floral, full-bodied, with tremendous opulence and richness. It is more approachable than the more structured and muscular 2013, but its is certainly no wimpy wine, given its level of extract and richness. It is another beauty, with the oak well-disguised by the extravagant fruit extract. Drink it over the next 30+ years. $250 Pre-sell pricing available (Please email stan@grapetray.com if you would like to be added to our pre-sell list)
