Delicate on the nose, with a lush body packed full of ripe fruits wrapped in French oak, the 2014 Sentall Chardonnay is a beautiful representation of a classic Napa Valley Chardonnay. Barrel fermented in French oak and stirred on the lees for 16 weeks, the 2014 Sentall Chardonnay boasts a beautiful straw-gold color. Upon opening, you are greated by mouthwatering aromas of vanilla bean and stone fruits that give way to a deliciously round and buttery body full of juicy pear, ripe melon and hints of honey. Light-medium acid brings blance and makes for a crisp and clean finish. A great Chardonnay for any occasion!

DESCRIPTION
A true representation of hillside Cabernet, the Sentall 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the volcanic soils of the Red Hills AVA in Lake County. This young and exciting appellation lies above the North Coast Magma Pocket offering obsidian rich soils at ideal elevation, with ample fresh air and sunlight. A high level of UV exposure triggers thicker grape skin growth which makes for intense and tannic wines.
The initial aromatics are spicy, strong, and herbal in nature with notes of dark cherry, over-ripe raspberry, and hints of cedar. Red plum, cherry, and a touch of cranberry make up the core of the body. Big, aggressive tannin and acid work in tandem to extend the finish and leave delicious notes of black tea, dark chocolate, and plum lingering on the palate.
