2016 DeSante, L'Atelier, Napa Valley, California, USA

DeSante, Ready, but will keep,

David and Katharine DeSante are a husband and wife winemaking duo that work with amazing old vines and field blends from the Napa Valley. Their 1,000-case production is very small scale and their attention to detail is impeccable, working organically and sustainably with all their vineyards.

The nose offers aromas of orange blossom and white stone-fruits, combined with fennel and citrus aromas. There is a saline core to the wine, with nervy acidity and a waxy texture on the palate. Lemon verbena and apricot notes continue on the finish. Drink now to 2020.

2015 Frog's Leap, Merlot, Rutherford, Napa Valley, California

Frog's Leap, Ready, but will improve,

Winemaker John Williams was adopting sustainable and organic practices at Frog’s Leap in the 1980s, long before it was fashionable to do so. The dry farming philosophy and earlier picking style has helped to create more restrained style of wine and this Merlot is very much a nod to its Bordeaux counterparts.

The wine combines juicy, red plums with red liquorice and cherries. There is a concentrated core of sweet spice here that is supported by refreshing acidity. The tannins are generous and ripe but have a grip and tension that persists on the finish. Subtle cedar, dark chocolate and vanilla notes add in layers of complexity.

2015 DeSante, Proof White, Napa Valley, California, USA

DeSante, Ready, but will keep,

Just one barrel is produced of this field blend. It has a beeswax character with a golden stone-fruit profile. Intensely saline with textural complexity, there is real breadth on the palate, with spice and phenolic grip.

2011 DeSante, Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California

DeSante, Ready, but will keep,

Katharine and David spend a day in the cooperage every vintage, making sure that the toasting is suited to the vintage conditions – just another example of their meticulous attention to detail. This cuvée is aged for 10 months in 50 percent new oak. The fruit comes entirely from Oakville. Despite being a trickier vintage, Desante has managed to obtain balance between the 14.5 percent alcohol, ripe fruit and chalky tannins. The wine offers cassis, liquorice, clove and ripe red-fruit aromas, with warm, spicy notes on the finish.

2015 DeSante, Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California

DeSante, Ready, but will keep,

DeSante is a small grower and their Cabernet comes from the prestigious Oakville area within the Napa Valley, home to some of the most highly regarded and sought-after wines in California. I love this Cabernet: although it displays the typical generosity and power of a Napa Cabernet, there is a purity and elegance that defines the wine and makes it incredibly accessible. Wines of this quality can be rather expensive and unaffordable, but DeSante – who make only 1,000 cases in total – really deliver with this wine, both in terms of price and quality.

2015 DeSante, Proof Red, Napa Valley, California, USA

DeSante, Ready, but will keep,

A blend of Alicante Bouschet and Petite Sirah, only one barrel of this wine is produced. The fruit undergoes whole-cluster fermentation, and if the team feels the wine needs more acidity, they add white varieties. The nose offers red fruits and floral aromatics with a blueberry top-note. The tannins are firm and fine-grained, balanced by a juicy fruit core with a long finsih. This wine defines the style of Desante, offering great concentration and complexity as well as restraint and freshness.

Overture, Opus One (2017 Release)

Opus One, For laying down,

Dark and spicy, with plenty of upfront black cherry and liquorice. A smidge of wild mint as well, not unusual for Napa valley fruit, complements the background note of vanilla. Broad and dense on the palate, with an abundance of dark fruit and ripe tannins, checked by a fine line of acidity. This is more generous than its big brother, as you’d expect for a wine for drinking as the other matures. A vin du Plaisir for sure.

2015 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California

Spottswoode Estate, Ready, but will improve,

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet-purple colored with a mind-blowingly gorgeous nose that defies words: warm cassis, red roses, sandalwood, Indian spices, crushed rocks, menthol and iron ore with waft of lilacs and truffles. Medium to full-bodied with a rock-solid frame of super-ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, it finishes incredibly long and remains incredibly provocative.

2013 Cardinale, Napa Valley, Cardinale Winery

Cardinale Estate, For laying down,

A brilliant wine from winemaker Chris Carpenter and the Kendall-Jackson family, this blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Merlot, mostly coming from mountain vineyards owned by the Jackson family, is fabulous.

The 2013 Cardinale Proprietary Red Wine is dense purple-colored, a big, sweet kiss of crème de cassis as well as licorice, blackberry and espresso are all present in this full-bodied, rather sublime and intense Cabernet Sauvignon that should drink well for 25 or more years. This was aged in about 91% new French oak for 18-20 months prior to bottling. It is certainly one of the finest Cardinales I have tasted in my experience.
