RECENT ACCOLADES


2021 Bosché Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)

95 Points - Wine Enthusiast | July 2025


A pleasing complex of black fruits integrated with baking spices and tobacco weave through firm, powdery fine tannins for impressive structural integrity and a lot of length. Savory flavors emerge in the finish revealing a deftly made wine. — Elaine Chukan Brown

2022 Sycamore Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

92 Points - Wine Spectator | Nov 2025


Plump and friendly in feel, with a solid core of black currant and black cherry compote flavors laced with sassafras and anise hints. Offers a light tug of warm earth through the finish, which shows a fine-grained cedar accent. Drink now through 2035. — James Molesworth

2023 Chardonnay Napa Valley

94 Points - JamesSuckling.com | Feb 2025


Beautifully layered and slightly rich yet well balanced. A luxurious but fresh-tasting wine that leads with toasted almonds and brown butter, then crisp apples and Bosc pears. Winemaker Kristy Melton goes for a middle ground between ripeness and nervy austerity, so this wine reaches a deft balance. Full-bodied. Drink or hold.  — Jim Gordon

2024 Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley

93 Points - Decanter | Jun 2025


Bottled just five months after harvest, the wine shows impressive freshness and clarity. The texture is surprisingly rich, with excellent depth and a vivid saline-acid mineral tension. Aromatically lifted with white flowers and zesty citrus, the palate follows through with bursts of tropical fruit and a long, spicy finish. Balanced and precise throughout.  — Jonathan Crisaldi
