The five-acre Arrow&Branch Estate Vineyard lies in southeastern Napa Valley, within the celebrated Coombsville AVA. Previously owned by Napa Valley legendary vintner and viticulturist, Tony Soter, the vineyard was acquired by Steve and Seanne Contursi in 2007. Under their stewardship this exceptional site has earned acclaim and produced 100-point-scoring wine. Today, it remains the flagship vineyard of the Arrow&Branch brand and at the heart of its Cabernet Franc–driven blend. The vineyard’s well-draining Coombs Gravelly Loam soils, shaped by volcanic activity and ancient geological forces, naturally moderate vine vigor and encourage concentrated fruit and refined tannins. Together, these soils with the cool San Pablo Bay breeze provide conditions that yield wines of depth, elegance and exceptional ageability—expressing the character of Coombsville and the unmistakable signature style of Arrow&Branch. Currently, the 2016 Right Bank Blend brings aromatic complexity, showing depth, and refined structure while remaining youthful and cellar-worthy.

2016 La Jefa Sparkling Wine by Artesa Vineyards & Winery $125.00 Details

Artesa Vineyards & Winery
1345 Henry Road
Napa, CA
artesawinery.com

Bud break arrived early this year, beginning around Valentine’s Day, and it was a cool and foggy season through August. We had no excessive heat in July, August or September, which provided for a longer hang time for the grapes. The grapes ripened uniformly and calmly at their own pace, yields were a tad higher, and the flavors are phenomenal. The harvest was smooth and progressed, from in its own dimension, some varietals sooner than others, but mostly because of lower yields in Bordeaux varietals . For the white wines, they are crisp and representative of the cooler vintage. It’s was interesting some of the grapes— from the cooler areas of Carneros compared to the warmer parts of St. Helena— were harvested at the same time.

The primary fermentation was completed in a combination of 15-year-old neutral barrels (80%), and stainless steel (20%) for added layers of complexity to the base wine. In May 2017, the wine was placed in bottles along with a proprietary “tirage” to induce secondary fermentation. The wine rested “en tirage” for 8 years and was disgorged in 2024. The bottles were kept 1 year in cork to promote a greater integration, equilibrium and final balance.

2016 Vintage Spotlight

2016 was a remarkable vintage in Los Carneros. A cool, foggy growing season, free of extreme summer heat, let the grapes ripen slowly and evenly, developing beautiful flavors while preserving their natural acidity. Crafted from estate-grown Pinot Noir (65%) and Chardonnay (35%), La Jefa captures this exceptional vintage's character. Made using the traditional method and aged for eight years on the lees, this limited-production sparkling wine offers elegant layers of brioche, baked apple, honey, toasted almonds, and warm spices. Ten years after harvest, La Jefa is a beautiful expression of what time can bring to a great vintage. And a reminder that a wine this special doesn't need a special occasion.

2016 MMV, Mountain Meets Valley Cabernet Sauvignon by Barnett Vineyards $195.00 Details

Estate grown

Every year we play around at the winery trialing in some of our famous mountain Cabernet into the Cyrus Ryan (valley floor Cabernet). And every year we loved what we saw. This is how the first release of our MMV, Mountain Meets Valley, was born.

The mountain grapes were sourced from our Estate, and neighboring York Creek Vineyards. The valley floor grapes from the Cyrus Ryan vineyard which borders the St. Helena and Calistoga appellations. The inverse of what would be expected for maceration times occurred, where the valley floor Cabernet was only 17 days, and the mountain was 25 days of skin contact. Merlot was added (14%) to flush out the mid palate to provide a richer lusher texture. The wine was aged for 22 months in our climate controlled caves.

This geographic position offers distinctive soil profiles for good root development, as well as mountain shade that protects grapes from extreme conditions, allowing them to ripen slowly and steadily. Our Benchland Select is a classic Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon expression, with bright boysenberry, and delicate violets; flavors of ripe blackberry, fig, and hints of dried sage on the palate lead into rich notes of sweet blackberry and dark chocolate over a long finish. Elegant tension between its dense fruit, bright acidity, and firm, supple tannins give this wine depth and dimension. Enjoy with hearty stews, steaks on the grill, or fire-roasted vegetables.

2016 Vintage Spotlight

In Greek myth, Ganymede was the most beautiful of mortals, so admired that he was carried to Olympus and granted immortality. It is no wonder we named one of our most stunning single vineyards after him, and that his figure also graces the architecture of our original winery. The vineyard sits just east of our tasting room and is home to some of the oldest vines on our estate. On its slightly warmer north end, this thirty-year-old planting produces some of the most stellar fruit in Stags Leap District. The 2016 vintage began with an average-rainfall winter, a welcome relief after three very dry years. Warm winter and spring temperatures brought early bud break and veraison, and a mild September with no heat spikes let us pick exactly when we wanted, never feeling rushed. That near-perfect growing season helped our winemaking team deliver a wine of profound density, grace, and power. In the glass, it is a deep, inky red, multi-layered with black currant, black tea, clove, violets, and mocha. On the palate it is fruit-forward, well-structured, and full-bodied, finishing silky and smooth. The performance of this vintage brings to mind words like beautiful, indelible, and immortal, which could just as well describe the figure it was named for. Ganymede is indeed our connection to that which is immortal.

2016 Vintage Spotlight

All Great Things began in 2009, when Heidi Barrett and Tony Arcudi partnered with Susan and Duane Hoff to craft a Cabernet blend that expresses a style rather than a single place. The 2016 Justice II, the second release to carry that name, comes from what Heidi calls a very successful vintage of fully ripe wines with depth of character. It is showing beautifully now, with open aromas of ripe berries, black plums, cedar and a touch of spice, a silky yet powerful palate, seamless tannins and a long finish. It is delicious today and will reward collectors who choose to cellar it.

Estate Grown and Bottled, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

22 months in 73% new French oak

Vintage: 2016
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Appellation: St. Helena
Bottle size: 750ml (Standard)
Suggested retail price: $325.00

2016 Vintage Spotlight

In its youth, the 2016 Gandona Estate Cabernet Sauvignon was defined by an exuberant display of blueberries, blackberry compote, raspberry, violets, and cocoa, supported by bright acidity and mineral tension meeting a firmer, more pronounced tannic structure. Ten years in, it has evolved into a wine of greater complexity and nuance, with its once-vibrant, expressive fruit now having moved into a dark fruit profile that has deepened toward black cherry, cassis, and currants. The savory, terroir-driven characteristics have become more nuanced, revealing wildflowers and lavender, as well as minerality with pencil lead and stone dust, with fine-grained, polished tannins adding dimension to the concentrated fruit. What is becoming increasingly clear is that this is not a wine simply moving toward softness and maturity; rather, it is revealing the tension between power and refinement that defined the vintage from the beginning. The fruit remains compelling, the acidity continues to provide lift, and the mineral backbone lends a distinctly mountain-grown character. While its tannins remain well represented in the finish, they also provide the framework for further development. The 2016 Gandona Estate is evolving more slowly than its generous fruit might initially suggest, and its best expression may still lie ahead. With six to ten years of additional cellaring potentially allowing the tannins to soften and the fruit to remain in balance, this Cabernet is shaping up to be a compelling example of Napa Valley mountain fruit: concentrated yet energetic, powerful yet poised, and increasingly rewarding for those willing to give it time.

The string of near-perfect vintages continued for the fifth year in 2016, with an early budbreak and flowering followed by sunny days and relatively mild temperatures throughout the growing season. When this wine was first released in October 2018, it was noted for its exceptional aging potential, and we're excited to see that prediction come to pass upon its rerelease this year. A decade of aging has unified the distinct fruit notes that characterized the younger wine, resulting in a beautifully harmonious and complex experience on the palate in 2026.

2016 Vintage Spotlight

Each year, former winemaker and current president of HALL Wines, Mike Reynolds, returns to his first love and blends a signature Cabernet Sauvignon known as “Jack’s Masterpiece.” The wine is named for Mike’s son, who created the label artwork as a Father’s Day gift when he was 18-months old. We build Jack’s Masterpiece from select vineyards in Napa Valley, including mountain vineyards that provide incredible backbone and density. The wine has ripe black fruit characters on the nose, with toasty oak nuances from barrel aging. The palate is dark and brooding with lush black fruit and spice. Dense, chewy, fully-integrated tannins deliver a long and fruity finish. The 2016 vintage marked the end of the drought years, although precipitation levels were still moderate to low. Near-perfect growing conditions continued throughout the summer with a few heat spikes that the valley is known for. Yields were a bit lower than normal, but the quality of the harvest was high. The resulting wine is rich and lush, with supple tannins and opulent, elegant finishes. Wines from 2016 are a fifth consecutive vintage of stellar Napa Valley wines.

2016 Cabernet Sauvignon by Hertelendy Vineyards $165.00 Details

Was 2013 “the vintage of the decade” as it was deemed to be? I say no. As much of a fan that I am of the 2013-2015 vintages, I’m boldly going to say that 2016 will be revered as the epic vintage in Napa Valley (unless of course another vintage in the next couple years outshines it...like say, 2018 specifically). I realize that it’s premature to start playing Nostradamus on such a thing, but in my limited experience working with and tasting 2016’s, unicorns have magically sprinkled fairy dust into our wines! The constellations have aligned, Halley’s comet did a flyby, and mermaids are showering rainbow glitter into our barrels. I can tell you that these are the best Napa Valley red wines we’ve ever made; they’re all on another level that I never even knew existed, giving me yet another rare epiphany I didn't realize was possible. It's elating to feel the same euphoric feelings we once felt (and had forgotten) during our more youthful and innocent time periods in the wine industry, and I now feel like William Shakespeare about to go into a soliloquy on the meaning of life with this vintage. Enjoy!

2016 Vintage Spotlight

2016 was an extraordinarily epic vintage. It was the fifth consecutive outstanding vintage, and at the time of harvest, we thought it was the best of the decade. All of our fruit slowly matured and ripened, containing the proper phenolics that we strive to have every vintage. We had a decent winter, which meant that we had more irrigation water and more control of hang-time on the vines. With more hang time came more complexity and character, creating more balance in the vineyards. With a total production of 562 cases of the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon, this elegant powerhouse all hails from highly-esteemed, volcanic Napa areas such as the Pritchard Hill area, Howell Mountain, Atlas Peak, and our very own Rockwell Ridge estate vineyard (35 feet below Howell Mountain). We’re honored that this wine recently won GOLD at Texsom (back-to-back years!), arguably the most prestigious wine competition in the country featuring 19 Master Sommeliers and 16 Masters of Wine on their judging panel. This is the ultimate indulgence for Cabernet lovers — bold, beautifully structured, and unforgettable in every sip.

On the remote eastern slopes of Napa Valley, Hestan Vineyards unfolds across a rolling landscape of vineyards, lakes, gardens and open land, far removed from the more traveled corridors of wine country. The family-owned estate was established in 1996, when culinary entrepreneur and engineer Stanley Cheng and his wife, Helen, both avid wine enthusiasts, purchased a former cattle ranch and began planting small vineyard blocks selected to take advantage of the property’s varied exposures and well-drained soils. They named the property Hestan by combining their first names, a fitting reflection of the passions they share for wine, art and design. Nearly three decades later, the estate has grown to encompass 110 acres under vine with wines produced in limited quantities, sold primarily direct-to-consumers and in select wholesale markets.

Built around Cabernet Sauvignon, with Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Malbec, this Bordeaux-inspired blend began with bold dark fruit, firm tannins, and tremendous promise. Over the years, time has softened its edges, allowing the varietals to come together in beautiful harmony. Dark cherry, cassis, and plum mingle with notes of cedar, cocoa, and subtle earthiness, while the texture becomes more refined and the finish more graceful. What was once youthful power has become elegance, complexity, and depth. Each varietal now plays its part in a seamless expression of the estate. This is the magic of a great wine: not simply how it tastes when it's young, but what it becomes with time. Ten years later, Oranos tells a richer, more captivating story with every sip.

94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc; Oakville, Napa Valley This blend of Miner Estate and Buselli Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, with 6% Cabernet Franc from Stagecoach Vineyard, displays the unique flavors and distinct characteristics of the eastern slopes of the Vaca Mountain range located in the Oakville sub-appellation of Napa Valley. Deep garnet in the glass, the nose opens with a lush, concentrated core of black currant, layered with ripe cherry and vibrant pomegranate, then unfolds into secondary notes of brown sugar, anise, clove, and a lift of hibiscus. On the palate the wine is rich and concentrated, delivering the same black currant fruit, framed by umami depth of black olive and hoisin. The texture is velvety yet chewy, carried by well-integrated but fine-grained tannins and acidity that keep the wine balanced and lively. The finish is lasting, with lingering dark fruit, cocoa powder, and savory leather notes that persist elegantly. A polished, age-worthy Oakville Cabernet that shows both immediate appeal and further potential through the early-to-mid 2030s.

The 2016 vintage is a storied one for me. Our wine business was thriving in ways I could not imagine. There is plenty of praise that the 2016 vintage should receive, but when these wines were released in 2019 I had been working for myself, with no "day job", to fall back on for a full year at this point. The release of these amazing wines from a stellar vintage represent not just another release, but a total phase shift of what our wine project had become. As a 3rd Generation winemaker in Napa it was a very special flag to plant and share with our friends, colleagues and family.

2016 Vintage Spotlight

We don't typically submit our wines for ratings but, when Jonathan Cristaldi came to the winery to taste through current and library vintages and spend time with Ren he surprised us with a 99 point score. His notes: The 2016 Paradigm is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. This is a stunning wine, currently in a phase of compact fruit and impressive density that highlights its remarkable potential. Notes of black currant pressed violets and rose petals dominate the profile, underpinned by a deep vein of electric acidity, black truffle, and loamy earth. The full-bodied richness builds beautifully on the palate, showcasing a seamless integration of superfine tannins already beautifully polished at this stage. This wine is a testament to patience—please hold onto this as long as you can, as it promises to evolve into something extraordinary over time—a masterpiece of balance, density, and elegance. I find myself shaking my head over the lack of critical praise for these wines over the years and applaud the consumers who have locked into a spot on the mailing list at Paradigm because they are world-class wines from pedigreed vines, age worthy, and offer just about the best QPR (quality-to-price ratio).

2016 Vintage Spotlight

2016 is a year we still talk about around the winery. After several dry seasons, winter rains finally soaked our estate vineyards, and the summer that followed was calm and steady. A cool stretch in August slowed things down and gave the grapes extra time to ripen gently on the vine. By the time the first fall rains came in mid-October, the fruit was in: ripe, balanced, and full of character. For Cabernet Franc, a grape that rewards patience, it was close to ideal. Our winemaker, Sara Fowler, chose her favorite lots for this Reserve and gave them extra time in barrel. When it was young, the wine was bold and generous, with dark berries, a touch of spice, and the savory, herbal note people love in Cabernet Franc. Ten years later, it has settled into itself. The fruit has softened toward dried cherry and blackberry, with gentle hints of cedar and earth. The tannins have turned silky, and the wine feels calm and complete. It’s one to pour slowly and linger over. We love it with slow-roasted lamb, a mushroom risotto, or good conversation at the end of a long dinner. Open it about an hour before you sit down and let it take its time. It’s been waiting for you.

2016 Vintage Spotlight

2016 was another near-perfect vintage, on par, if not better, than 2013, yielding another crop of smaller-berried fruit that produced a intense wine, and should stand out for decades to come. 2016 produced medium sized berries, which means a fantastic ratio of skins to juice, leading to higher levels of color and tannin. We had a few heat spikes in late July, and the weather was generally dry, warm even and consistent throughout the season. We picked the Cabernet under ideal conditions in September, and 2016 has turned out to be a classic for our Estate.

The Reserve Cabernet is an expression of our favorite blocks within the gravel streak to the Eastern section of our vineyard.

Once a lot is designated Reserve, only the very best barrels selected from a rigorous barrel by barrel selection of those lots will make the final blend.

Winemaker Andrew Schweiger cut his teeth at wineries renowned for their Bordeaux-style blends: Joseph Phelps, Chateau St. Jean, and Cain Cellars. When Andy started making wine for his family at Schweiger Vineyards, his father Fred clearly stated, "Look, I don't know winemaking; I just know I grow great grapes, so none of that Mickey Mouse blending you do at those wineries, just make 100% Cabernet and Merlot." Over the next several years, Andy kept experimenting and eventually convinced his dad to add Cabernet Franc and Malbec vines to the family plantings. Using these four varietals, Dedication came to life in 2000! Why no Petite Verdot you ask? Our mountain terroir gives us a wealth of silky tanins and intense color. The primary reason for Petite Verdot in a blend is to give it a boost of color but usually with the pickup of greener tanins from the varietal...so why add it if you don't need it? Updated Tasting Notes: November 24, 2025 - Deep ruby red/garnet color. Layered aromas of blackberry, Bing cherry, and pomegranate, with faint herbs de Provence. Silky mouthfeel at entry with well-integrated tannins. - Andrew Schweiger

10 years of Tonella In the heart of Rutherford, where the valley floor gives way to the gravelly benchlands that made Napa Cabernet famous, lies the Tonella Estate Vineyard. Its story spans generations: Louis Tonella and his son Raymond tended it, and the vineyard came under Sequoia Grove’s care after a long partnership with the Tonellas. Today, its 50 acres are farmed block by block, with each rootstock and clonal parcel expressing its own corner of this storied site, and only the finest lots are selected for the Tonella bottling. Vintage after vintage, the wine has carried the signature of its place: dark fruit with a mineral, dusty edge, fine-grained tannins, and a balance of power and restraint that rewards patience in the cellar. Tasting across these ten years reveals both the character of each season and the constancy of the land beneath it, a testament to the vineyard, the families who shaped it, and Sequoia Grove’s enduring commitment to wines of elegance and place.

As the 20th anniversary of Silverado’s first Mt George harvest approached in 2012, the decision was made to make a wine for the occasion. It is called GEO – Greek for “Earth” and short for “George” – and it represents the highest expression of single-vineyard Cabernet from this extraordinary place.

The inaugural vintage of Tribe & Arrow is a small-production expression of Diamond Mountain, created to capture the structure and intensity of mountain-grown Cabernet without sacrificing freshness or site. Nearly ten years in bottle, the 2016 is showing beautifully: dark cassis, black cherry and blackberry layered with graphite, cedar, dried violet, savory herbs and subtle earth. The palate carries the firm structure and mineral character associated with Diamond Mountain, but with freshness and lift running beneath the darker fruit. The tannins have softened with bottle age while retaining the framework and energy that give the wine its long, composed finish. The 2016 Napa Valley growing season was remarkably even, allowing Cabernet Sauvignon a long period to develop flavor and tannin before a series of late-September heat events accelerated harvest decisions throughout the valley. Late September offered a particularly interesting window. September 23 fell on a Flower Day in the biodynamic calendar, during the waning moon and immediately ahead of a significant heat event. Food Pairing: Slow-braised short ribs with rosemary, wild mushrooms and creamy polenta. The richness of the beef meets the structure of the Cabernet, while the mushrooms and herbs echo the wine's mature savory and earthy notes. Cheese Pairing: Aged Pleasant Ridge Reserve or another firm, nutty alpine-style cheese. Its savory depth and crystalline texture complement the wine's developed fruit, cedar and mineral character without overwhelming it. Musical Pairing: Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats — “I Need Never Get Old” A spirited, soulful anthem with a timeless energy. Much like this inaugural Diamond Mountain Cabernet, it is a reminder that greatness isn't always about being the loudest on in the room but It's about character, authenticity and standing the test of time.

As you might expect from this classic Cabernet Sauvignon, it is loaded with black cherry, blueberry, cocoa and black licorice flavors. Rich, deep, and dark, the core is juicy and fruit-focused, yet the texture is silky. Smooth, integrated tannins with balanced acidity produce a luscious finish that lingers.

2016 Vintage Spotlight

The 2016 harvest in Napa Valley was an exceptional, high-quality vintage marked by moderate weather, a smooth growing season, and a strong rebound in total volume compared to the sparse 2015 crop. Our Estate was no exception. 2016 was the first year we decided, due to the quality of the fruit, to use 100% New French oak and see how those tannins would integrate with a strong barrel toast. The result was spectacular, giving this wine 90+ scores from multiple critics. This wine has aged beautifully. Tannins are rounded and soft, with a silky finish. Our friends opened a bottle recently for their 10 year wedding anniversary and it was fantastic. Recommend to decant or to open a few hours before pouring for a more intense experience.
