Open the Cellar: 10-Year Retrospective
Let’s take a look back – 10 years back, to be exact – at the 2014 vintage in Napa Valley. Some may recall the drought or the South Napa earthquake. But if you ask a vintner, they describe the 2014 vintage as an excellent season, noting perfect weather, abundant crop and good fortune, leading to 2014 wines with excellent quality and depth of flavor.
For this #OpenTheCellar, Napa Valley winemakers are offering special library wines from the 2014 vintage. Napa Valley wines are known for their age worthiness, and while now is a great time to enjoy these cellared wines, they can still show well for many years.

2014 Terra9 Cabernet Sauvignon by Taplin Cellars
Vintage Spotlight
We chose to highlight our 2014 Terra 9 for two reasons. First, the year 2014 marked the 150th anniversary of our great-grandfather acquiring the land we farm today. In addition, this was the first vintage we began exploring the diversity of microclimates within our Estate, and assembling our favorite lots for Terra 9. This wine celebrates our family’s personal history with this land, and the deep respect for it that we have cultivated since 1864.
The steady summer temperatures and drought conditions of 2014 produced rich, luxurious fruit with exceptional aromatics. At ten years old, aromas of petrichor, dark plum, caramelized raspberry, and anise waft from the glass. A dense core of savory red fruits and brandied amarena cherry unfolds into layers of blueberry compote, sun-dried plum and confit orange zest. The signature minerality of our site thrums in the background, and mature, allspice-scented tannins support the sinuous texture. Mellow notes of clove, nutmeg, milk chocolate and dried cherry emerge on the long finish, concluding in a fresh whisper of mint tea.
- Estate Wine
Our ancestors settled in the Napa Valley in the mid-1800s. We still farm the same land. This wine comes from a block that back then was said to be nine parts rock and one part soil. Now we know it's this perfect blend of soil that gives depth to this Cabernet we call Terra 9.

2014 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon by Keenan Winery
Vintage Spotlight
Each vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon usually goes through somewhat of an awkward phase in the first seven years of its life. Then came the 2014: layers of expressive deep flavors, mountain power with beautifully textured tannins—and never a bad day. Now, it’s showing gloriously: savory notes and youthful charm. Gaining complexity over the next 10 years, it’ll hold beautifully for 25+. A favorite.

2014 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon by SODHANI Vineyards
Vintage Spotlight
2014 was our second vintage when everything fell in place. After purchasing our 6.5 acre hillside vineyard in St Helena in 2013 and making our first vintage in the amazing hands of Napa’s top winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown, we realized what an incredible terroir we had acquired. In 2014 we didn’t continue the previous grape contract with Harlan Estate so we could dive right into pursuing our dream of making world glass Cabernet.
2014 brought another year of record braking drought with a growing season marked by small yields, small berries but the quality of the fruit was outstanding; dark color, intense aromatics, more concentrated and great fruit character. The 2014 Reserve is comprised of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the best barrels of clones 7 and 15 with a small amount of 337. After 10 years in the cellar the wine is decadent, packed with layered notes of rose petal, chocolate-covered expresso bean, blueberry, slate, and lavender oil. The wine has plenty of structure with a silky finish.
To celebrate Napa Valley Vintners Open the Cellar 10-year retrospective we are offering up to two 3-packs of our 2014 Reserve at the original release price of $585 per 3-pack instead of the library price of $810.

Our grapes are hand-picked at night or in the early morning to give us cold fruit for processing. Individual vineyard blocks are destemmed separately into small stainless steel fermentation tanks and barrels. Grapes are cold soaked before the must is warmed and the fermentation initiated.

In 2014, a warm spring, following one of the driest winters on record, got the ball rolling early with the set of small, concentrated berries. Moving into summer, the remainder of the season was moderate, giving us the long, cool season we hope for. At 10 years, this wine is singing. Still fruit-forward, it is beginning to develop a lovely bottle bouquet.

The 2014 growing season was ideal with no major temperature spikes. We enjoyed consistent heat throughout the summer and early fall months. We harvested our 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon earlier than any prior year due to these consistent summer temperatures. This vintage of our Brix Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect blend of fruit from three different blocks in our Oakville vineyard. Black currant and cedar on the nose will be followed by flavors of blueberry, licorice, tobacco and spice. Drink now and expect this wine to age well over the next 12-15 years.

2014 Cabernet Sauvignon by Toymaker Cellars
Vintage Spotlight
For the third year in a row, the superb growing season of 2014 ushered in a vintage that surpassed expectations. Late February rains, on the heels of one of the driest winters on record, gave way to a surprisingly early bud break and an advantageously long period for the grapes to mature and ripen. Spring’s brisk bloom was followed quickly by moderate summer temperatures ranging on average between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit—optimal conditions for producing wines of great depth, concentration and rich, ripe tannins. Conditions remained consistent and favorable throughout the summer and up to veraison, leading to a stunningly bountiful harvest of flawless and fully matured fruit.
The 2014 Toymaker is the culminating taste of this unique and extraordinary vintage. Like the long growing season itself, luscious, ripe, red fruit notes draw a seamless thread of distinguished flavor and texture across the palate, leaving a long, powerfully dense and opulent finish indicative of beautifully matured supple skin tannins.

Vintage Spotlight
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (Coombsville), from Bennett Ranch, is a total knock-out. Graphite, menthol, black fruit, lavender, spice and savory herbs make a strong first impression. This is a classic Coombsville Cabernet built on minerality, energy and cool, soil-driven tension. I would give the 2014 a few years in bottle to soften, but it is quite impressive, even at this early stage. The 2014 is a wine of real depth, gravitas and pedigree.

2014 Cabernet Sauvignon by Porter Family Vineyards
Vintage Spotlight
The 2014 vintage at Porter Family Vineyards reflects the unique challenges and rewards of a warm, dry growing season. For the third consecutive year, the weather was hot and dry, but the vineyard’s ability to retain soil moisture, bolstered by well-timed winter rains, ensured a successful harvest. This vintage benefited from the warm and moderate temperatures, which allowed grapes to reach full maturity earlier than usual, leading to an early budding and harvest. The result was an average-sized crop of soft, hedonistic wines that displayed lush fruit characteristics right from the start.
As the wine has aged, it continues to show beautifully, offering familiar and expressive aromas of cassis, bay leaf, and bright cherry fruit upon opening. With time in the glass, deeper notes of blackberry and chocolate emerge, revealing the wine’s layered complexity. A gentle decant enhances the experience, allowing the wine’s underlying depth to shine through. This Cabernet Sauvignon, now ten years old, is elegant yet powerful, showcasing both its refined structure and the richness that promises continued aging potential.

The 2014 ai is a delicate bookend to the full-bodied wines of the past three vintages.

2014 Seraphim Cabernet Sauvignon by Wallis Family Estate

In 2014, Napa Valley's drought cycle provided ideal conditions for even ripening, with heavy spring rains and consistent temperatures. Grapes were harvested early on October 15th, just before the end of the season. Winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown selected top Cabernet Sauvignon barrels, featuring a label design symbolizing the six wings of a Seraphim. The wine has a deep purple hue with aromas of cedar, cassis, violet, and nutmeg, complemented by velvety tannins, bramble, black currant, and a smoky finish.
