St. Supéry Sauvignon Blanc Estate Grown Estate Bottled Napa Valley, 2019 
This refreshing Sauvignon Blanc offers light pale straw hues with glimmering hints of green. Yellow grapefruit, green lime and passionfruit aromas mingle with a subtle touch of anise. In the cellar, minimal intervention yields a vibrant freshness on the palate with flavors of pink grapefruit and lime zest zinging through the finish to create a vibrant and powerful sauvignon blanc. Critical Acclaim A very pretty, fruity white with lots of white peach and hints of lemon rind. It’s full-bodied and layered with an attractive creamy texture from the phenolics. James Suckling, 91 pts A great value, the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Estate has a classic, juicy style as well as notes of white grapefruit, honeyed citrus, and pineapple. It's clean and medium-bodied, with bright acidity and a dry, lengthy finish, all making for a delicious Sauvignon Blanc to drink over the coming year or two. Jeb Dunnuck, 90 pts St. Supéry Sauvignon Blanc Dollarhide Estate Vineyard Napa Valley, 2019
 This wine presents with brilliant hues of pale yellow pierced by youthful streaks of green. Opulent aromas of grapefruit, lemon rind and subtle caper are enveloped by a seductive background of toasted vanillin oak, evident of the barrel fermentation component. Crisp flavors of grapefruit follow with key lime, a hint of orange marmalade and a roasted French oak background. This is a terrific Sauvignon Blanc with tremendous intensity of flavor, yet an elegant appeal. St. Supéry Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Grown & Bottled Napa Valley, 2018 
 Opulent purple and red hues present in this wine. Cassis, black plum and anise aromas combine with subtle vanilla from the toasted oak. Juicy blackberry and black currant flavors mingle with black licorice, espresso and toasted oak in this structured yet elegant cabernet sauvignon with velvety tannins. Blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec and 2% Merlot. Critical Acclaim A very pretty cabernet with currant, chocolate and mahogany aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied and layered with soft, creamy-textured tannin that gives it form and interest. Hard not to drink now. James Suckling, 92 pts The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is solid, offering a forward, blue-fruited, medium-bodied, moderately complex style with rock-solid purity of fruit, nicely integrated tannins, and a clean, lengthy finish. Enjoy this well-made, classic, varietal Cabernet over the coming 5-7 years. Jeb Dunnuck, 90 pts St. Supéry Merlot Estate Vineyard Rutherford, 2016 This Merlot presents with deep purple hues and red notes. Aromas of black plum, blueberry, and dark chocolate combine with anise, charred oak, and a hint of graphite that result in dark fruit flavors of plum and cherry. The wine continues to evolve with black currant and dark mocha flavors and a hint of dusty terroir on the palate. This is a structured and elegant Merlot with fine-grained tannins. Blended with small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this hearty red is given 19 months in French oak, 43% of it new. Wine Enthusiast, 90 pts Reservations Required
