LOT P1: superior nApa wine PACKAGE #1
(MORE THAN $300 VALUE
A rare opportunity to enhance your wine collection with these two superior wines.
CADE Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2012
‘The stunning, dark ruby/purple-tinged 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate boasts beautiful mulberry, blueberry and black raspberry fruit notes, a pure, full-bodied style, sweet tannin, adequate acidity and an opulent, lush mouthfeel. This offering is atypical for a Howell Mountain cuvee, which tends to be more foreboding in its youthfulness. Drink this beauty over the next 15+ years.’
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Dakota Shy Cabernet Sauvignon Zen Master 2017
”Unique nose of mild blueberry up front but intertwined with a hint of McCormick's Italian spices/seasonings, oregano, rosemary, sage, etc.....beautiful blue and black fruit, mid weight on entry in the mouth, velvety smooth with mild tannin astringency. Develops another layer or two in the following 2 hours with just a hint of cocoa powder in the ending by then.”
Cellar Tracker
Both wines were a donation from Richard and Karen Taylor’s private collection.
LOT P2: superior nApa wine PACKAGE #2
(MORE THAN $300 VALUE)
Another rare opportunity to enhance your wine collection with these two superior wines.
Grgich Hills Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2011
Grgich Hills believes in minimal intervention, fermenting the grapes with indigenous yeast at moderate temperatures that allows the wine to gain flavors and color from extended skin contact.
The 2011 Cabernet is rich with aromas of balsamic glazed figs, dried rose petals and a touch of green peppercorns. Smooth and rich on the palate with a persistent finish, this wine is the perfect partner with grilled steak, rack of lamb or roasted duck.
Donated by Eileen Brennan’s family.
Gamble Family Vine Yards Mary Ann Napa Red 2015
The microclimate contrasts starkly with the Napa Valley floor, hovering above the fog bank. During the growing season’s final days, this mountain’s cool days and warmer nights give way to intriguingly distinct flavors in a finished wine.
Merlot’s opulent, dark fruit is a perfect foil for Cabernet Franc’s firm tannic structure and red fruit character. A splash of Cabernet Sauvignon adds even greater complexity to this blend. The result is a wine as exquisitely elegant as Mary Ann herself.
Another donation from Richard and Karen Taylor’s private collection.
