One if the best lots and best wines I tasted at #pnv20 #pnv2020 #oakville #napa Only 10 cases produced. 100% Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
Aging in 100% new French oak for 22 months
Sourced from the Vyborny Vineyard in southern Oakville and Bonny’s Vineyard to the north of this nested appellation
This balanced wine provides structured, dusty tannins and lush, rich blue fruits
Winemaker Stacy Vogel achieves a supremely balanced 100 percent Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from two remarkable and distinct vineyards. The Vyborny Vineyard lends structured, dusty tannins and plenty of dark fruit from this rocky site on the southern border of Oakville. The lush, rich blue fruits in the blend come from Bonny’s Vineyard on the northern border of the Oakville nested appellation, nestled next to the Napa River. To bring these characteristics together, the wine is aged in 100 percent new French oak for 22 months.

18’ Miner Rosella’s Pinot . Color resembles a ruby/purple. Nose fresh picked strawberries, cranberry, brown sugar mist. Opened it over a week ago and threw the cork on it. Still a full -bodied beast of a Pinot. Strong cherry, red berry flavors to it, sassafras, slightly non-expressive finish. Can’t miss if you’re patient for another year or two. One of if not the best thing I’ve enjoyed from Miner. Cheers! Wait another 2/3 years / decanting for 2 hours +. — 25 days ago

Pleasantly surprised and not characteristic of southern ca Pinots a t all! Balanced and smooth. Year was interesting given how aged it is but really spot on. Would get again. Good mystery case get. — a month ago
May have held this one too long. Medium bodied at best and lacked long smooth finish that Oracle usually delivers. — 5 months ago

Good vintage! Still a big wine but the aerator helped. Earthy and well balanced. One of our favorites from this winery. — 6 days ago
