Since all the way back to 1972 Silver Oak has been bottling Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley. In fact they were one of the first to champion the now well know region of Alexander Valley by putting it on their label. While their Napa Valley bottling has garnered more attention, and possibly press over the years, we think the Alexander Valley bottling is still one of the best Cabs out there for the money. At about half the price of the Napa bottling, and with many other Alexander Valley producers charging more for their wines, this bottling looks m... Read More »

According to Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Light, bright yellow. Fresh apple, fig and tangerine on the nose, with a kiss of vanillin oak adding depth.

This Cazar Pinot comes from the Russian River Valley and was aged for 10 months - half in new 60-gallon French oak barrels and half in smaller French barriques. Lower in alcohol than many Pinots these days, this wine is balanced and full of fresh fruit and complementary spice. Made by Bill Hunter who, I've said before and I'll say again, is one of my favorite winemakers in California, this is the long lost sister bottling to his Chasseur label. Fans of the ever-popular bottling called Lily, which we carried the last few years, take note here: this is th... Read More »

That doesn’t mean it’s without fruit. The flavors of apricots, pears and more exotic tropical fruits are explosive, enhanced with smoky oak. Likely to develop bottle complexity over the next four years." (11/08) Winemaker George Bursick combines Old World techniques with New World fruit, and the results are quite tasty.

(09/09) The Karmen Isabella vineyard is located in the Green Valley sub-appellation of the Russian River and expresses itself with red fruit character.

This is a source for very fine Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs at some of the most realistic prices to be found in Northern California.

A dark, elegant and tightly focused Pinot Noir with aromas of fresh cherry, bright raspberry and cranberry dominating the nose. On the palate creamy raspberry, blackberry and dark stonefruit flavors give way to nuances of French oak, elegant tannins and a smooth strucured finish.

Winemaker August Briggs made only 1,250 cases of this superb value in Sauvignon Blanc with fruit sourced entirely from the Russian River Valley. The bouquet offers notes of lemon zest, grapefruit, melon, fig and honey. On the palate, these flavors follow with a round, creamy texture supported by good acidity that leads to a tangy refreshing finish. At this price, you'll want a case.

95 points Wine Enthuisast! (12/09) The Thomas Road Vineyard is located in the northeastern portion of the Green Valley sub-appellation of the Russian River. The soils are rockier than other parts of the valley, which contributes to this wine's bigger character. Earthy, mushroomy qualities on the nose complement the dark red fruit that continues onto the palate. The wine's silky mouthfeel, well-integrated tannins and bright acidity mean this powerful wine tastes great today, and will evolve gracefully in your cellar for years to come.

This is a great value in Alexander Valley Cabernet. Roth is a family-owned winery focused entirely on producing elegant, fruit-forward cabs from select vineyards within the AVA. Aged for 18 months in 30% new French oak barrels that add a fine tannin component as well as cinnamon and vanilla notes on the nose and palate. There's also great raspberry and cherry fruit here from start to finish. Well-structured and from an excellent vintage. At this price, you should buy by the case!

A brilliant expression of Pinot Noir from one of the best growing regions for the varietal in California. Captivating aromas of cherries, strawberries, raspberries and white mulberries with just a touch of sweet vanilla.

One Puff from the Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine: "Ripe-cherry fruit is given a sweetening lift by lots of vanillin oak first in the nose and then in the flavors of this supple, mid-sized Merlot, and, while not especially complex or highly extracted, it is mannerly and varietally true from front to back. It can take a few years of age but in no way demands it, and it will drink well in the near term with lighter lamb dishes and lightly seasoned, simply grilled steaks." (07/08)

One star from the Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine: "This quite harmonious effort comes with the dual advantages of wide distribution and a somewhat more open architecture than its cellarmates above. Still, like them, the wine trades on its very fine sense of crafting and polish rather than on bombast and we would not be averse to having it alongside dishes like roast loins of veal or lamb."

From the winery: "Intense aromas of ripe apple are dotted with cinnamon and clove, as hazelnuts bathed in cream join fragrant notes of acacia blossoms. In the mouth, the wine is dense and concentrated, while simultaneously offering a softer, sensual side in balance.

Designed to convey all that is special about the Russian River Valley, this fruit-foward Chardonnay is fermented in 100% French oak (one third new, one third one-year-old and one third two-year-old barrels), which gives it richness and texture.
