Los Carneros Pinot Noir 2014
A beautiful well balanced Pinot Noir with an aftertaste of cherry and rhubarb giving it that acidic bite to cut through the food. Just a superb Pinot.
Had this at a wine tasting at Prime Butcher in Hampstead NH.

Napa Valley Cabernet Franc 2022
Gibbs – Cabernet Franc 2022
St. Helena AVA, Napa Valley, California – USA 🇺🇸
Overview
From the family-run Gibbs Vineyards in St. Helena, this Cabernet Franc highlights the elegance and spice of one of Bordeaux’s most beloved blending grapes—here shown in its varietal purity. Napa Cab Franc often surprises with more refinement and lifted aromatics compared to Cabernet Sauvignon, and Gibbs delivers a small-lot, estate-grown expression that captures both vibrancy and depth.
📌 Educational Note: While Cab Franc is often overshadowed by Cab Sauv in Napa, it thrives in warmer pockets of St. Helena, developing riper fruit while retaining its hallmark herbal and floral lift.
Aromas & Flavors
Bright red currant, blackberry, and plum mix with violet, dried herbs, and subtle graphite. Hints of green peppercorn, spice, and cocoa powder add a savory complexity.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with supple tannins, fresh acidity, and an elegant structure. The finish is long and precise, leaving echoes of red fruit, spice, and minerality.
Winemaking Notes
Estate fruit, carefully hand-sorted, fermented in small lots, and aged in French oak (about 25% new). The use of moderate oak keeps the wine’s floral, spicy character intact.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled lamb chops, or mushroom risotto. Goat cheese and herbed dishes (like rosemary pork or thyme-roasted vegetables) also highlight its savory side.
Verdict
A graceful, terroir-driven Cab Franc that proves Gibbs can coax both power and finesse from St. Helena soils. Balanced, fragrant, and polished—it’s a Cabernet Franc lovers’ gem in Napa. Cheers!

Carpenter Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2013
Dark dark wine. Soft spices, vanilla, and herbs on the nose. This really needed some time for the palate to come alive but when it did she showed what she's working with. Black pepper, blackberries, mushrooms, and just the hint of green olives team up to knock this out of the park. Really nice mouthfeel with dry, dry tannins. You won't even notice the almost inexplicable 15.7 until the end. Very impressive from St. Helena. — 9 years ago

Gibbs – Cabernet Sauvignon “Three Clones” 2022
St. Helena AVA, Napa Valley, California – USA 🇺🇸
Overview
Gibbs Vineyards, a family-run estate in St. Helena, has carved a niche for producing small-lot, limited-production wines that often fly under the radar compared to Napa’s bigger names. The “Three Clones” bottling brings together Cabernet Sauvignon from three distinct clonal selections across their estate vineyards, creating a wine that is both powerful and finessed.
📌 Educational Note: St. Helena AVA is one of Napa’s most prized subregions, known for its warmer climate that produces plush, fruit-driven Cabs with round tannins, rich concentration, and a signature balance of power and elegance.
Aromas & Flavors
Blackberry, cassis, and ripe plum lead the way, accented by violet, baking spice, and subtle cedar. On the palate, juicy dark cherry, mulberry, and cocoa powder intertwine with graphite and a touch of vanilla oak.
Mouthfeel
Full-bodied and polished, with well-integrated tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long, balanced, and fruit-driven, lingering with spice and dark chocolate.
Winemaking Notes
Estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon crafted from three clonal selections, fermented in small lots, and aged in French oak (about 30% new). The clonal mix adds both power and nuance, making the wine more layered and expressive.
Food Pairing
Perfect with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, or lamb chops with rosemary. For a cheese match, aged Gouda or Manchego highlight its rich fruit and structure.
Verdict
A Napa Cab that overdelivers—structured yet approachable, with depth from its clonal blend and a polished finish. Gibbs proves that small-lot Napa producers can deliver as much excitement as the icons, often at a friendlier price. — 10 months ago
