$150.00 each$0.002021 Brothers Blend Proprietary Red Blend
86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot (Ellman Estate Vineyard)
The 2021 Brothers Blend is dark, dense, and aromatic, with rounded tannins and great length. It shows notes of cassis, dark chocolate, black cherry, and baking spices. It is quite broad and expansive on the palate, and the finish is smooth and lengthy. While this wine is intended to be enjoyed early in its life, it will certainly age for many years to come in the cellar, and those who wait will be rewarded with added layers of complexity and a softer, more polished texture. The 2021 growing season was interesting and enjoyable. An early spring with very little rain led to vines that were balanced and healthy,. Warm temperatures in the summer meant accelerated phenolic development in the fruit, and a condensed growing season. Organic farming and thoughtful handwork in the vineyard helped to add life to the vineyard. Harvesting in early September, we were able to capture both the freshness and the richness of the fruit as the small berries were packed with structure and tannin.

$265.00 each$0.002019 Jemma Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
100% Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Ellman Estate)
Focusing solely on the Ellman Estate vineyard, the perennial elegance of Jemma reigns supreme in the 2019 vintage. With a profound, dense ruby hue, our ethereal 2019 Jemma performs a playful dance of sweet and savory movements. Bounteous aromatics of freshly harvested fruits and flowers from a basket of sweet violets to just-plucked blackberries from the vine comingle with layered notes of bouquet garni, espresso crema, and transportive salumi like lardo di colonnata and finocchina. Effusive on the palate, it whisks you away for a walk in the woods with heady fragrance of freshly upturned earth, garriqgue and bramble fruits, all from the comfort and warmth of your perch. Muscular and weighty, the dark fruit character is precisely framed with concentrated yet chocolatey tannins, and a lingering, suffusive finish. Aptly paired with a classic Entrecôte Marchand de Vin, or if you are feeling adventuresome, a savory wild mushroom Wellington.

$250.00 each$0.002021 Jemma Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2021 Jemma successfully captures the best of the vintage, which indeed was a warm California summer with plenty of heat and sunshine. The wine is bold, juicy, and intensely flavored with a silky, but structured texture. The color is black-purple, as is the flavor profile, with the driving forces being notes of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate. Just below the surface, however, come the complexities brought by the Cabernet Franc: licorice, cardamom, and dried flowers. This is a serious wine that will age for many years to come, but its rounded tannins make it perfectly enjoyable in its youth. For those who can wait, dividends will be paid in terms of added aromatic flavors and continued polishing of the tannins. Those who don't have the patience to wait, will be surprised and delighted by the purity of the fruit and the generosity the wine shows now.
