Fall/Winter 2024 Member Shipments + New Releases

 

Thrilled and elated to share our new releases with you. Without question -- the finest line-up of the membership we have ever released. Premier and Collector Member shipments (and advance orders of new releases) will begin shipping in September, weather permitting. The Crosby's Reserve Club -- our six-bottle wood box featuring the 2021 vintage -- will ship in October.

2021 Crosby's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Crosby's Reserve, tasted as a barrel sample, is deep garnet-purple in color. It offers up expressive scents of blackcurrant jelly, plum preserves, and blueberry pie leading to wafts of rose oil, raspberry coulis, and cinnamon stick with a hint of cardamom. The medium to full-bodied palate shimmers with energetic black and red berry layers, supported by fine-grained tannins and a refreshing backbone, finishing long and perfumed." 96 LPB

2022 Syrah Petaluma Gap

Meaty, musky, and sexy, with a long, tantalizing finish with notes of beef's blood, bacon, leather, orange flower, and soft chalky acid. Our Rowan Vineyard Syrah occupies a hillside on the northern edge of the Petaluma Gap, on a steep, south-facing, rolling hillside with the steepest slopes facing south and southwest. The soil here has a higher percentage of limestone than usual for this area. The grapes are fully destemmed and fermented in stainless steel for 14-21 days, and the wine is aged in 40% new French oak barrels for eighteen months. 93 WE

2022 Chardonnay Napa Valley

We picked our Chardonnay by hand, at dawn. The grapes were whole-cluster pressed and the juice fermented in French oak barrels, then aged 18 months in oak. The 2022 Chardonnay has a lightly green-tinted yellow-gold color, with white-rose floral notes. It is medium bodied, with notes of mellow tar and matchstick on the attack, then tart green apple, fresh pineapple, and a touch of buttery burnt caramel. 92 WA
