"The Greater Fool 2022 Sauvignon Blanc opens with great intensity of aromas, including jasmine, acacia, Meyer lemon, mango, passionfruit, peach, and lemon meringue. On the palate, the wine has a bright acidity with a smooth texture and flavors of grapefruit, golden apple, honeydew melon, and lemon custard. This wine beautifully blends fruit from Napa and Sonoma Counties and displays a pure, focused wine that is just plain delightful."

“All barrel fermented and aged for nine months in one-third new oak, Greater Fool's 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Frediani Vineyard is all Musqué clone. Notes of passion fruit and guava are joined by hints of pencil shavings on the nose, while the medium-bodied palate boasts a slightly creamy texture, then turns bright and refreshing on the citrus-and-g finish. It's a fine effort from a little-known relative newcomer to Napa Valley.” -

“Quite an unconventional blend for Napa Valley, this smooth, fine-grained wine comes o like a well-saturated red Rhone. Significant but polished tannins wrap up dark-blackberry, dried-blueberry, espresso and bitter-chocolate flavors on a full body... Drink now or hold.”

Our third release of Paddington Down, and most exciting to date, takes us back to our cofermenting roots. We have long favored this early-marriage of varietals over the typical, albeit very romantic blending table scenes commonly shared. A tale of two cofermentations actually, starting in mid-September with Cabernet, Merlot, and Petit Verdot from Sonoma’s Bedrock Vineyard and eventually blended with a cofermentation of our Deer Park Cab Sauv and a new Coombsville Cabernet vineyard leased that year.

Aged in 70% new French Oak for 20 months.

Purple hues coat the glass opening with black cherry, black currant, and roasted coee bean aromas. Raspberry, black cherry, new leather, and crushed gravel bomb the palate. A youthful attack of Cabernet Sauvignon is wrapped in velvety Merlot texture extending the long Petit Verdot stained finish.

Based on cabernet sauvignon with merlot and a dash of petit verdot. Shows good concentration, focus and purity of fruit. Blended from Sonoma County and Napa County grapes.

The second release of our evolving red blend, Paddington Down, is an almost old-world, Cabernet-based wine from the challenging 2020 vintage in Napa Valley. Our last wine made before upgrading to an optical sorter is from 20-year-old Cabernet vines on Deer Park Road (the future Crystal Springs AVA), blended with Merlot from Sonoma’s famous Bedrock Vineyard, both picked in early to mid-September.

Aged in 50% new French Oak for 17 months.

Red and black fruits, rose petals and mint aromas slowly unfold. Bright and lively on the palate with currants, brambleberry, bitter coca and citrus notes. Soft tannins, great acidity and a touch of whole-cluster Merlot for freshness round out this elegantly balanced red wine.
