2016 Taddei Cabernet Sauvignon, Link Vineyard, Clone 15, Knights Valley

2018 Rutherford TADDEI Block sits on the Rutherford Bench almost directly across from Alpha Omega. The vineyard is approximately three quarters of an acre, and we farm the fruit at approximately two tons an acre. I lightly saingee this fruit only to adjust alcohol and pH. I love the profile of the Rutherford dirt and I do what I can to preserve it in the wine. 2018 was the first vintage I processed fruit from the block, and often it takes two or three vintages to figure out how to handle the vineyard. I really love this little block and in 2018 the wine shows lovely flavors of plum, cherry and leather on the pallet with soft tannins. The nose has a floral characteristic to it with notes of dark stone fruits. The wines finish is very smooth with hints f leather, espresso and dark fruit.

The 2019 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine made from one of our first leases in Napa. The vineyard is on the Bench in Rutherford right along HWY 29. The Taddei Block is round beautifully drinking wine, the palate opens with red fruits, notes of blueberry, cedar and caressed with mocha notes. There is an intriguing hint of spice and white pepper that seamlessly leads into the dusty minerality finish that we personally love about Rutherford. This Cabernet is pretty, expressive of Rutherford.


The 2020 Rutherford TADDEI Block does not disappoint. Following in the footsteps of its older brothers, the vineyard continues to kick out great vintages. In a vintage that was very trying, this little gem stood out. The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon has aromatics that express raspberry, Bing cherry, leather, cigar and pencil lead. On the pallet, the wine is very consistent between vintages with copious amounts of cherry, crushed plum and leather with exceptionally soft tannins. The vineyard continues to produce fruit that possess rich flavors coupled with dusty elements and soft tannin.

This wine drinks well now and will age for years to come.

The 2019 Summer Hill Cabernet Sauvignon from Calistoga is a rich, round, and big wine. The nose opens with violet, dark berries, and Asian spice. The color is a deep rich purple. The mid-palette is surprisingly lush and charming for such a young wine. The finish is long and seductive with incredible intensity with fades slowly, leaving a finish of dried fruits and hints of spice. With a touch of Malbec and Petite Verdot added, this wine is stunning.
