2014 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay
Ripe peach, pear and cloves dominate the nose amidst a flurry of floral and honeysuckle notes. There’s a wonderful fullness and weight on the palate punctuated by ripe melon, green apple, and fresh citrus. The oak contribution remains subtle with a hint of vanilla and baking spice. The density of the wine is readily apparent as grilled pineapple, lychee, and a rich creaminess linger.

Full garnet color. Fresh raspberry and blueberry fruits, clay mineral, exotic soak spice. Rich entry with bramble fruit, chewy tannins, creamy/sweat oak, and a moderately long finish.

2014 B.R. Cohn Silver Label Cabernet Sauvignon
A bold, rich Cabernet with aromas of cassis, black cherry, mint, and violet combine with a bouquet of pungent oak, anise and warm vanilla. On the palate, lush cherry, caramel, and clove are wrapped in smooth tannins and a long juicy finish.
