2018 Cabernet Sauvignon by Unwritten Wines
Vintage Spotlight
2018 was a winemaker’s dream. Ample spring rains and even temperatures throughout the season made for a delightfully predictable and superior vintage. The 2018 Unwritten Cabernet Sauvignon once again hails from the iconic Lewelling Ranch in St. Helena and is a study in succulence.
- Sustainable
This wine is the proverbial “mixed berry” compote with a pod of cardamom steeped in for edge and complexity. The palate moves gently from fruit to a chewy resistance formed by the dense and rich tannin structure. Chock full of gravitas, the 2018 is a study in succulence; enjoyable now, yet ageable for decades.
Aged for 28 months in 100% French Oak, 71% of which is new and 29% that is once-used. Coopers are Darnajou and Taransaud. Harvested October 8, 2018 Bottled March 11, 2021

2018 Cabernet Sauvignon by Cornerstone Cellars
Vintage Spotlight
Cornerstone Cellars' first vintage in 1991 was Cabernet Sauvignon, grown by Randy Dunn. We proudly release the 2018 vintage of our Howell Mountain Cabernet in celebration of our 30th anniversary as a Napa Valley vintner.
- Single Vineyard
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Sourced from the Ink Grade Vineyard, Howell Mountain is a sub-appellation of Napa Valley which is defined primarily by elevation. The Howell Mountain AVA is positioned well above the valley floor and lies between 1,800 and 2,400 feet. The terraced vineyards can face to the east, south or west. The soils vary from decomposed volcanic ash, called “tufa”, and red clay that is high in iron. Both soil types are nutrient poor, which stresses the vines, producing intense wines from small clusters and berries. The smaller grapes have a higher skin-to-juice ratio resulting in deeper colored wine with more pronounced tannins.

2018 Jemma Cabernet Sauvignon by ELLMAN
Vintage Spotlight
Our Jemma Cabernet was the first wine crafted by ELLMAN in 2007. Named after Neil Ellman’s wife’s middle name, it is the flagship wine of our portfolio. The name Jemma (or Gemma) is English in its origin and was named after the favorite English actress Gemma Jones. This is the 12th vintage of Jemma.
- Estate Wine
- Sustainable
Focusing solely on the Ellman Estate vineyard, the perennial elegance of Jemma reigns supreme in the 2018 vintage. With a deep ruby hue, our 2018 Jemma gives way to a comingling of sweet and savory notes. Copious aromatics of freshly picked violets, cassis and black cherries emanate from the glass, with a soupçon of espresso, sassafras and dry-aged salumi. Effusive on the palate, it has a lush profile of a myriad of bramble fruits, like a billowing whiff from jostling a crate of blackberries, coupled with hints of cardamom, allspice and cacao. Muscular and weighty, the dark fruit character is precisely framed with focused yet velvety tannins and an enduring, lengthy finish. Aptly paired with a classic Beef Wellington or maitakes on the grill.

2017 Home Plus Knoll Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon by Howell at the Moon
Vintage Spotlight
In 2017, fires were all over Napa Valley, and we were very concerned about smoke taint. Fortunately, our vineyard high up on Howell Mountain seemed to have a lesser degree of involvement as compared to many wineries in the valley. The wine that resulted is free of smoke taint and excellent.

Significant winter rains after several years of drought brought relief to both growers and vines throughout the North Coast. Rather than worrying about enough water, our work this growing season was managing vigorous canopies and drying down the vineyard after April rains and a cool spring. Overall the season was a return to normal, if a touch cool to begin with, alternating between modest heat and cool, with a few heat spells, particularly over labor day weekend. The weather remained warm and an extreme windstorm on Sunday night October 8th, coupled with downed power lines, led to fires that ravaged the north coast for weeks. The fires for us were a serious risk and concern, threatening us from every cardinal direction, but we were spared direct impact thanks to high elevation and breezes from the Pacific Ocean. Many friends and valley neighbors were less fortunate, losing homes, businesses and vineyards to the fires. Our community has recovered in the years following, ready as ever to offer our hospitality and the products of our remarkable landscape to the world.

2017 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon by Odette Estate Winery
Vintage Spotlight
This is the final vintage of Adaptation under its current label. The artwork on this bottle is the DNA of Vitis Vinifera and has been our best expression of Napa Valley from the beginning. A bittersweet goodbye, but we looked forward to an even better iteration under the 2018 vintage.
We continue to work closely with our favorite local growers throughout the Napa Valley. The majority of the Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Ink Grade (on the back side of Howell Mountain), which provides the framework and structure to carry this wine. To balance out the blend, we incorporated vineyards from Pope Valley, the Stags Leap District and Oak Knoll, all of which complement the abundance of tannin, color and structure already in place. This diversity and range within Napa Valley has allowed us to craft a wine which showcases the unique Napa Valley terroir in an approachable, elegant style.

2016 was the first year we made Alpha Mare White as a proof of concept. As the winemaker, I was pretty nervous. My partners were really excited about making a longer-aged white and they had very clear ideas about what they wanted it to taste like. I have to say, I'm pretty thrilled with the result.

2011 Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon by Frank Family Vineyards
Vintage Spotlight
The 2011 growing season was abnormally cold and wet which prolonged harvest. However, there have been some exceptional wines coming from it, including our Rutherford Reserve Cabernet. Even 10 years later, it shows how a challenging vintage can produce wines with such grace and beauty.
- Estate Wine
- Sustainable
The 2011 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon shows beautiful purple and magenta hues on the rim with a dark opaque core. The bouquet is bright and concentrated with notes of wild berries, plums and forest herbs. Sweet and warm spiced aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg embrace the fruit. As the wine opens it reveals notes of sage, black pepper and hints of graphite. The palate is full and velvety, with roasted berries and earthy flavors complementing each other.

2007 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon by Chateau Montelena
