This is a seriously impressive Napa Cabernet that delivers the kind of structure and pedigree you normally associate with far more exalted trophy labels.

The 2015 vintage of Ampersand is an intoxicating, ultra-rich and silky wine full of blackberry, plum, baking spice and sage. On the palate, velvety tannins give way to notes of cocoa, espresso, vanilla and tobacco, leading to a majestic finish. Enjoy now with a hearty decant or until 2030.

Our oh-so-discerning (a.k.a. snobby!) tasting team is rarely impressed but we ALL fell in love with this glorious new Chardonnay. The praise was unanimous! Captivating aromas of buttered croissant lead to golden delicious apples, grilled pineapple, and magical hints of butterscotch and crème brulée on the tantalizing finish. Wow!

This dazzling white wine features gorgeous aromas of pear, grapefruit, orange blossom and lemon sorbet.
