Red Wine by William Harrison from Napa Valley, California. The Wm. Harrison Vineyards & Winery 2012 Simpatico is a beautiful reflection of the remarkable 2012 vintage and the 10-acre Rutherford Estate Vineyard. This stately Cabernet Sauvignon based blend is a dark garnet in color with great depth and character. Enticing aromas of blackberry, baking spice, plum and cassis foreshadow a juicy palate. Complex layers of blackberry, dark cherry and dark fruits are wonderfully corralled by the youthful acidity and refined tannin. The Wm. Harrison Vineyards & Winery 2012 Simpatico is a wine of immense potential.

White Wine by Miner Family from Napa Valley, California. Full-bodied and lush, yet never heavy, the Wild Yeast Chardonnay shows off flavors of ripe pear and melon with butterscotch and hazelnut notes balanced by oak spice and bright acidity. This is a wildly expressive wine that will reward a few years of patient cellaring. The grapes are fermented using only indigenous or wild yeast cultures found on the skins of the grapes themselves, in the vineyards and within the walls of their winery.

Red Wine by Paolo Scavino from Piedmont, Italy. The modern history of the Scavino family starts with this vineyard, within the Fiasco cru. Here the Nebbiolo grapes were always the best; consequently in 1978 young Enrico convinced his father Paolo to vinify these grapes separately, thereby establishing the austere and fascinating king of the Scavino winery. Dark red color, with aromas of licorice and blue and blackberry. Full-bodied Nebbiolo, with silky tannins and a long elegant finish. A wonderful balance of elegance and power.

This unique estate is a working farm through and through, boasting a thriving lavender garden that draws visitors from around the world. The Merlot created for the Barrel Auction is the first of its kind, blending two estate vineyards that have never been combined before. The winemaking team chose grapes from the estate's Legacy (72%) and Jackson Park Vineyards (28%) for a Merlot that celebrates their ability to craft memorable wines from an AVA known for extreme conditions, slow ripening and deep flavor extraction. It's destined to be a Merlot with enticing aromas of raspberry and plum and a round, lush mouthfeel.

Red Wine by Riverbench from Santa Maria Valley, California. This Pinot Noir has always been a way to really showcase Riverbench Vineyard. Each year, tjey carefully select the clones and lots that will make up this wine so that it's the best qualities of all different parts of the property. The 2013 Harvest was fast and furious, with everything coming into the winery in about ten days from start to finish. But they didn't hurry this wine along; it received plenty of time in barrel to develop amazing complexity and deliciousness. The palate boasts juicy red fruit flavors, and a hint of our signature Riverbench smoke and clove. Try it with saucy barbecue or wild mushroom anything.

White Wine by Chalk Hill from Sonoma County, California. The 2014 Sauvignon Blank captures the exotic, vibrant and complex fruit character of our estate-grown grapes. The vineyards are ideally situated to take advantage of soil changes, different aspects, and exposure to sun and wind. Sauvignon Gris and Sauvignon Musque add layers of flavor and interest to the blend. In the winery, we preserve the distinctive aromatics of the grapes byminimizing exposure to air and fermenting in a combination of stainless steel and mainly neutral French oak. Aging on the lees with regular stirring bring all the elements together, giving us a complete and harmonious wine. Blend: 84% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Sauvignon Gris,6% Sauvignon Musque

White Wine by Lincourt from Central Coast, California. Named for the younger of Bill Foley's (the founder of Lincourt Winery) two daughters, Courtney's Chardonnay captures the character of the limestone-based estate vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills with its tropical flavors and lush texture. The 2013 Courtney's Chardonnay draws you in with a synergy of toasted hazel nut, candied lemon, and fresh pineapple aromas. The wine's natural acidity is balanced by the oak with fruit-forward flavors of white peach, citrus zest and a floral sweetness of honeysuckle on the finish. Enjoy alongside grilled cardamom chicken and rice.

Red Wine by William Harrison from Napa Valley, California. The Wm. Harrison Vineyards & Winery 2011 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is generous in its offerings. Eloquent and expressive, the deep garnet hued wine speaks first of violets, fresh currant, cherry and tobacco. Then notes of mocha, lavender, dark cherry, blueberry and graphite follow. The vibrant and nuanced aromas lead to a mouth filling and focused palate. Savory flavors of sage and baking spice open up to black cherry, mocha, blueberry and a hint of minerality. It is a wine of stunning intensity, focus and depth. The firm and dusty tannins not only let you know it is 100% Estate Rutherford fruit, but that it will reward those patient enough to cellar it. Blend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit Verdot

Red Wine by Stars and Freckles from Carneros, California. The 2012 Pinot Noir has aromas accented by red berry and earth. This wine has soft tannins and a hint of oak. This unique blend of clones comes together to express the purity of Pinot and really show the complexity of this wine. This Pinot Noir will see into your heart and fill your mind with peaceful dreams of far away galaxies. The 2012 Pinot Noir comes from a small family-run vineyard located in the southern part of Carneros in the Napa Valley. The winery partnered with a small grower. Pinot Noir is a blend of five clones - Pommard, 115, 777, 459, and Calera. We work closely with the grower to ensure the highest quality fruit at harvest. The winery treats the fruit with care to ensure the wine in the bottle is a reflection of the hard work throughout the year.

Red Wine by Manzoni from Central Coast, California. The 2012 Syrah leaps out of the glass with ripe black fruit and berries mingled with hints of smoky oak and vanilla. These complex aromatics are both subtle and powerful showcasing the elegance of the wine. The palette follows with intense flavors of darker fruits, hard spices and a core of silky tannin. The finish is exceptionally long with balanced acidity bringing the combinations of fruit, spice and vanilla to a clean and satisfying resolution. The grape yield in this vintage and varietal was perfectly ripe and the resulting wine has concentration, varietal character and exceptional balance. While drinking well upon release, mid- term cellaring will yield even more exceptional experiences. Please enjoy with roasted or braised game meats, heartier cuts of beef and roasted root vegetables.
