What can you get from just a single word? Single word descriptors can mean quite a bit, particularly when describing wine. Bob Pepi’s 2014 Eponymous Cabernet Sauvignon offers a virtual wine dictionary of descriptors, with layers of flavors that lure you into craving more and more. With an eccentric perfume laced with black tea, eucalyptus, roasted coffee beans, sage and cocoa powder dusted blackberries, the 2014 is rich and scrumptious, and unsurprisingly, this wine has a following of it’s own.  At the normal $60/btl retail price, this wine would have you and you beaming with joy.
 
Calling on fruit from Mount Veeder and the Benchlands below Atlas Peak, this perfectly orchestrated composition of two distinctly different sites oozes complexity and defined flavors.  Aged in French oak barrels for 20 months, the 2014 opens up to an abundance of dark berries laced with holiday spices, dried mint, pipe tobacco and clove.  If you like things a little bit different and enjoy deep, complex and individualistic reds that have plenty of character… this one is for you.

Winery Notes: “Eponymous 2014 exudes lovely, complex notes as soon as the cork is pulled. Held to the light, this elegant wine shimmers with a stunning deep purple-inky color that announces the intensity of the grapes. The complexity of aromas jump out of the glass with rich blackberries, spice, vanilla and hints of toasted rosemary that carry over to the palate. This palate has classic Napa structure and grip with more than ample tannins, although nicely balanced by fruit, a rich earthiness and spice. It is rich, full and round from the initial taste, continuing as it fills the mouth, leading to a long, lingering, polished finish. ”

KATHERINE GOLDSCHMIDT

2015 CRAZY CREEK
CABERNET SAUVIGNON
ALEXANDER VALLEY

We’re not the only ones Crazy about Katherine Goldschmidts Crazy Creek Vineyard Cabernet… The wine just earned an incredible 94 Point score in the January issue of Tasting Panel Magazine and at $19.99/btl, there’s simply nothing like it.  Saturating your palate in an abundance of chocolate covered cherries, crushed blackberries, roasted coffee and black currants, and just like the previous two vintages, this beauty out-performs most Cabernets double its price… Emerging from a single vineyard which for years went to Simi for their Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ($75)…  At just $19.99/btl, Katherine Goldschmidt’s Crazy Creek Cabernet Sauvignon perfectly expresses just how inspiring Cabernet Sauvignon can be from Alexander Valley.
Ramping everything up a notch or two in terms of sheer power and concentration, the new vintage of Crazy Creek releases a dense core and remarkable palate presence, unlike anything I’ve tasted at this price.  2015 was a textbook vintage in Alexander Valley, resulting in low yields which provided high levels of intensity and vividly sensuous, opulent flavors.  I’m not surprised that this value driven Cabernet continues to be my top-selling Cabernet…

From The Tasting Panel, “Named for Goldschmidt’s middle daughter, the wine’s grapes hail from Crazy Creek, a vineyard known to produce some iconic wines.   Big, bright, blue fruit notes on the nose are meaty, with a chocolate espresso twist and dry tannins showing on the palate.  It’s a little masterpiece with a dark chocolate finish that way over delivers on price-to-quality.” 94 Points
