Nicely oaked. Dark red fruit good finish. Delicious — 6 years ago

Cornell Vineyard

Estate Grown Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Francois Peschon winemaker, enough said. Old school elegance and richness that developed over several hours. Still a baby and will reward patience. Though the wine is still wound up tight the nose is soooooo intoxicating! @Pignetti's Restaurant, Temple TX — 7 years ago

My score is based on potential. This is not a fruit bomb a la Thomas Brown/Mike Smith but more like Forman/Dominus/Corison.

Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Killer wine here. Such pure fruit expression, great balance and tannin profile. So a big step up from previous vintages with the addition of François Peschon as consulting winemaker over Celia Welch. Well done! — 6 years ago

Celia wine making ability/consulting is one of the best! FYI- the last vintage she did was the 2011?? Still one of my favorite 2011‘s from such a challenging vintage. IMO

Visited there in June. Tasted the 13 there and was told it was Celia’s last vintage. Did not like it much. Also tasted this and the 16, and to my palate the 15 and 16 were much better wines.

Accendo Cellars

Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Bart and Daphne Araujo sold their eponymous Estate and its jewel, the Eisele Vineyard, to François Pinault of Château Latour five years ago. The offer from Pinault “came out of the blue,” according to Bart, but it was one the Araujos couldn’t refuse. Not being ready to retire, work started immediately on their next project, Accendo.
.
The focus at Accendo (pronounced “akkendo” and meaning: to kindle, illuminate, inflame, arouse) is almost clichéd if not on trend for a new Napa project - restraint and reverence to the wines of the 1960s and 70s. Sourced from vineyards in St. Helena and Oakville, they produce Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. The team includes Françoise Peschon, Michel Rolland, and Steve Matthiasson, as well as the Araujo’s children Jaime and Greg.
.
Extraordinarily mineral driven. My first thought was this is what Napa SB would taste like if it was made by Weingut Keller, mouthwatering, layered minerality with lime and citrus blossom accents. Yasss!
