Reserve Champagne

Champagne Jacquart Brut Mosaique

$103

A blend where Chardonnay is the dominant grape variety, giving Brut Mosaïque its freshness and delicate aromas. Pinot Noir adds structure and Pinot Meunier brings fruit. The grapes are sourced from exceptional terroirs, including the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. Aromas of fresh pear, fig and almond, with hints of orange flower. A light swirl of the glass brings out richer notes of honey and freshly baked bread

Davis Family Vineyards, Sparkling Rose de Noir

$117

This Rosé de Noir is crafted from 100% Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir. After a long relationship working with the Dutton family, Guy Davis was able to secure a block of Pinot Noir that comes from an exceptionally cool spot on this already cool vineyard site.
Reserve Chardonnay

Drouhin Vaudon, Chablis

$91

A dry and fruity wine, easy to drink. Its color is pale gold with greenish hues. Very fresh aromas reminiscent of citrus (lemon or grapefruit); small pleasant touches of fern or coriander are found as well. On the palate, dry and fruity, with mineral notes. Pleasant and long aftertaste

Martinelli, Chardonnay, Bella Vigna, Sonoma

$91

The Bella Vigna Chardonnay is expressive on the nose with aromas of lemon, fresh earth, and white flowers. Bright on the palate with flavors of powdered sugar, candied citrus, and pineapple cake, this wine has an extremely balanced finish.

Tyler, Chardonnay, Santa Barbara, California

$74

The Tyler is a fresh and bright style of chardonnay carrying a citrus, mineral, and marine profile - very much "Santa Barbara". It has pretty scents of quince, poached pear, spring honey, chalk and roasted almonds. The medium-bodied palate is satiny, savory and expansive with dynamic flavor layers and a very long finish.
Other Reserve Whites

Martinelli, Rose of Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast

$82

Fresh aromas of strawberry, powdered sugar and a hint of orange blossom burst from the glass. Quenching flavors of pomegranate and raspberry are present from the entry to mid palate. The balanced acidity supports the fresh strawberry and soft minerality in the lingering finish.

Presqu'ile, Sauvignon Blanc, Santa Maria Valley, California

$74

Comprised of 100% Presqu’ile Vineyard fruit, our 2021 rendition of this exuberant variety captures the herbasceuos, citrus fruit side that only cool climate Sauvignon Blanc can deliver. Utilizing six unique clones not widely planted in California, we find the complexity and aromatics in this clonal mixture to be utterly distinctive. Native yeast fermentation in a combination of concrete egg, stainless steel and neutral French oak, sur lie aging, and light lees stirring capture and amplify the many different facets of our site. The result: A wild, singular expression of Sauvignon Blanc.

Stolpman Vineyards, Uni, Ballard Canyon, California

$82

70% Rousanne and 30% Chardonnay. Golden Pineapple, white flowers, and Asian pear backed by tangerine citrus. Delightful fuzziness all over from the nose through the mouth. Fresh, crunchy acidity compliments the full bodied richness of the mid-palate and provides a titillating cut under the fleshy, cloudy textures.

L'Avion, Roussanne, Santa Barbara County

$115

Nuanced “red wine drinker’s white wine”, the great tradition of age worthy L’Avion Roussanne. The new release drinks especially fresh and has evolved wonderfully over the year we’ve held it in bottle. What was mineral and oak dominated a year ago has transformed into honey suckle and sweet beeswax.
Reserve Pinot Noir

Paul O'Brien, Pinot Noir, Umpqua Valley, Oregon

$86

This is given a bit of a twist, with one-quarter whole-cluster fermentation in concrete. The bright fruit shines through with sharp flavors of cranberry, raspberry and spicy plum. Vivid acidity adds lift and life, while the tannins bring in stem and green tea notes.

Martinelli, Pinot Noir, Bella Vigna, Sonoma Coast

$99

Our Bella Vigna Pinot Noir is curated from all of our estate vineyards in the Sonoma Coast appellation, we have created an approachable appellation blend that reflects the characteristics of our family's vineyards and is still true to our Martinelli style.

Andrew Rich, Volcanic Sediment Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley

$99

Deep, bright-rimmed scarlet. Highly perfumed cherry, raspberry and floral scents are complemented by suggestions of cola and exotic spices. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering vibrant red and blue fruit, rose pastille and spicecake flavors that slowly deepen through the midpalate. Shows fine definition and spicy lift on the impressively persistent finish, which leaves a suggestion of smoky minerality behind

Davis Family Vineyards, Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, Sonoma

$137

The Davis Family Russian River Pinot uses the very best expressions of the Soul Patch, Starr Ridge and Dutton Ranch Pinot vineyards. Rich, balanced, and elegant, with beautiful red and dark fruit flavor, this blend is a perfect embodiment of all that the Russian River Valley has to offer in one deeply layered, complex wine.

Foxen, Pinot Noir, Santa Maria Valley

$82

This wine is a great introduction to Pinot Noir from the region as well as to the style of Foxen. It has a lighter ruby color, with a beautiful bouquet of spiced cherry and strawberry fruits interwoven with subtle forest floor and floral notes, it's medium-bodied and has a wonderfully pure, elegant texture, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish.
Reserve Red Blends

Robert Foley ‘The Griffin”

$130

This year’s blend (aged in French oak) is Merlot, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, & Petit Verdot. Aromas suggest ripe & youthfully bright red cherries & raspberries. The even mid-palate flavors of vanilla & butterscotch are framed with soft tannins that resolve in a gently gripping finish.

Robert Craig Howell Mountain Cuvée

$132

: A higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon has found its way into
this wine that is dark, deep, nuanced and supple. Sourced from young vines on the
Candlestick Ridge Vineyard, the 2019 HMC displays immediate Howell Mountain power
in the glass with lavender, thorny fruits and mineral at the fore.

Château Belles-Graves, Lalande de Pomerol 2017

$107

88% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc. Perfect balance between finesse and power, it is starting to open up nicely and offers a lovely gourmet freshness mixing small red and black fruits (raspberry, blackberry and blackcurrant) on the attack, with a good length carried by the slightly woody notes of aging and very present tannins all in roundness.

Dona Maria, Amantis Reserva, Portugal

$82

This is a blend of CAbernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petit Verdot and a little bit of Touriga Nacional. Vivid nose of bright red and black fruits with a savory, spicy, slightly medicinal edge. Has dense, firm tannins.

Alvaro Palacios “Les Terrasses” Priorat

$135

Produced from a blend of Garnacha (55%) and Cariñena (45%), most of which is purchased from high quality fruit sources in various villages of Priorat, this is an excellent vintage of Les Terrases. Ripe and clean red fruit aromas are punctuated by notes of fennel pollen. More red fruits on the palate show a touch of licorice, lots of freshness and satisfying, subtle bitter notes towards the finish. This is Priorat!

Montepeloso A Quo, Costa Toscana, Italy

$74

This wonderfully-rounded blend contains 30% Montepulciano, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese, 10% Marselan, and 10% Alicante Bouschet from lime-rich, petrified clay and silex soils. This blend makes it complex yet balanced, lusciously dark with hints of balsamic, spice, and minerals.

$115

A beautiful blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre, Throne is a Rhone style blend meant to highlight the aromatic character in all three varietals. Aged in Puncheons, oak barrels twice the size of a normal barrel, which give less oak to the palate, highlighting the dusty cherry aroma that will open up to a red raspberry with delicious white pepper.
Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Bedrock, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma County

$118

This wine comes from several vineyards planted across the distinct and wonderful terroirs of Sonoma County The hope is to make a wine that is perfumed and fresh but a bit more approachable in its youth.

San Fereolo, Dolcetto, Italy

$121

The 7-year wait from harvest to release reflects the importance of the “San Fereolo” to Nicoletta, who carefully tends the wine through its 3 years in large barrel before a 3-4 year hibernation in the bottle cellar.

Lang & Reed, Cabernet Franc, California

$74

Bright cherry, violet, and fresh herb aromas exude from this wine, with the playful edge of Cabernet Franc clearly expressing itself. When the wine hits the palate, there is a wash of bright flavors: red & white cherries, raspberries and persistent herbs mingling with warm vinous saturation.

Robert Foley, Charbono, Napa Valley

Taste: quite easy to drink, with a fine structure; elegant tannins together with a good freshness.

Davis Family Zinfandel, Russian River

Roche-Audon Cesar, Grenache, Cotes du Rhone

$75

A noble grape from the South of the Rhône Valley, Grenache is honored in Cuvée César. The best parcels of 80-100 year old vines are harvested by hand, vinified and aged in vats for 18 months. The biodynamic work according to the lunar calendar allows the full expression of the terroir and the fruit in this cuvée.

Stolpman, Estate Syrah, Ballard Canyon, Ca

$86

The wine’s richness and liveliness showcases Ballard Canyon’s cold nights and the short period of daytime warmth in between Pacific fog and cool wind.

Stolpman, Crunchy Roasty, Ballard Canyon, Ca

$74

Lavender on the nose and exceedingly smooth and feathery on the palate with red and purple berry fruit. Polished, soft, and fine. Fresh, yet approachable and inviting. 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier.

Captain’s List Reds

Robert Foley Cabernet Sauvignon

 

This Napa Valley Cabernet combines the character of four AVAs. Weathered high-elevation vineyards on Howell Mountain, Atlas Peak, and Mt. Veeder provide intensity of color, higher acidity levels, and spiciness.  The lower elevation blocks of Calistoga with rocky soils and more extreme heat summation. Provide the lush mid-palate and fine tannin.  Ripe black cherry and rhubarb pie aromas, a thick almost sweet mouth-coating middle give way to the elegant finish.  Oak character is well-integrated with the fruit. 167

O’Shaughnessy Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

A powerful, dense wine endowed with tremendous concentration and nicely tamed tannins.  Ripe black cherry, black plums, espresso, spice, leather, graphite and dried flowers give the wine its mysterious, somber feel. A gorgeous Cabernet that offers superb depth and plushness. One of the most distinctive signatures of this wine is the significant presence of blenders, all seven of the Bordeaux red varietals play a role in this vintage. 172

O’Shaughnessy Mt Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon

This red is youthful, wound-up, and full of tension. Plush, polished tannins add to a weighty mouthfeel filled with deep flavors of cassis and blood orange, with seasonings of sage, herbes de Provence and black and white pepper. A showcase of sophisticated complexity. 218

Scribe West Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon

The vineyard sits on red volcanic soil on the southeastern facing slope. This cool ripening at 1,600 feet (well above the fog line) produces bright, energetic fruit that is unmistakably mountainside Napa.  Notes of juicy black cherry, red currants, and clove dominate the palate. 163

Robert Craig Affinity

Intense, savory and spice notes lend terrific aromatic nuance and vibrancy to play off a core of dark, inky fruit. Deep and dense, but also wonderfully nuanced, the 2018 Affinity has so much to offer. Most of the fruit is from a single site in Coombsville, with small additions from sites in Rutherford and Howell Mountain.140

Davis Cab 5

The Rockpile AVA is one of the newest in California with an elevation of 800 feet or higher) Rockpile is located at the northwest corner of the Dry Creek Valley. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot were picked, sorted, fermented and barrel aged separately in 100% French oak. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally. The wine is not fined or filtered. 143

Robert Foley, Merlot, Napa Valley

Very ripe aromas of black currant and a trace of cedar introduce the first taste of this 100% varietal Merlot, which floods the middle with expansive ripe black fruit flavors from our Valley Floor vineyards as the gently gripping tannin of our Howell Mountain fruit coats the palate and lingers in a long finish. This “Merlot for Cabernet lovers” gracefully balances the best characteristics of these two remarkable Napa Valley AVAs. 140

La Torre Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

Sangiovese Grosso from vines in the highest altitude in the Brunello appellation-1500 feet above sea level. Pours a deep ruby red with notes of woodland fruit, fresh berries, and tobacco. A rich deep red that is both balanced and present, made in a classic style that we don’t see much anymore. 157
