elevation society FALL 2020
Dear Elevation Society Member, In a time of many changes and challenges, we decided to reach out to you, our extended winery family, our supportive wine club members, our fans, and visitors. To engage you directly on the phone, hosting private outdoor tastings experiences, always present through our website, with new fun virtual wine and food pairings… And more to come. Our promise is that we will keep finding new ways to engage with you and create opportunities to share the fruits of this generous land in the Napa Valley. Every season in the Valley we are reminded of the importance to work in synergy with Mother Nature, through the amazing dedication of our Vineyard workers that take care of each of our vines and labor respectfully the Vineyards to fruition. Inspired through the detailed craftmanship of our Winemaking team that brings the utmost expression of our Napa Valley terroir to every barrel, to every bottle and with the help of our entire sales teams, to your home. Thank you for being the core part of our winery family!
Oscar Riveiro Woolsey, Direct to Consumer and Membership Manager Please allow me to introduce to you our new Wine Club Coordinator, Peter Markano:
“The new release of our 2017’s vintage has been amazing to say the least. I was fortunate enough to try a splash of the 2017 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and after letting it sit in my glass, it truly opened into a luscious, balanced, and elegant wine! I have a passion for sharing things with other people that bring me joy, and this is certainly one of those opportunities! Give me a call at (707) 224-7533 and I would be more than happy to talk about all our wines and the Library Vintages available just for you.” – Peter Markano
A LETTER TO OUR MEMBERS

sauvignon blanc OAKVILLE | 2018
V I N TA G E
The 2018 vintage from our Estate in Oakville was harvested between September 7th and September 19th, about average for the Estate. Yields in 2018 were also average but this vineyard continues to produce some of the most intensely flavored Sauvignon Blanc that we have ever worked with. We also found the Sauvignon MusquĂŠ to be equally stunning in 2017 with great floral intensity and viscosity. Hence it makes up most of the blend.
WINEMAKER IMPRESSIONS
The wine has aromas of honeydew melon, honeysuckle, orange blossom, white peach, banana cream pie, vanilla, white flowers, lemon, lime, and yellow apple. In the palate are flavors of lemon meringue, orange rind, pineapple, grapefruit, nectarine, stone fruits, yogurt, and cream soda. The combination of concrete and French Oak barrels gives this wine a depth of flavor and texture that are unique while still maintaining a vibrancy and freshness that is desired in Sauvignon Blanc.

cade
cabernet sauvignon N A PA VA L L E Y | 2 0 1 8
V I N TA G E
The cade napa valley Cabernet Sauvignon is made from two of Napa’s most renowned vineyards: Kenefick Ranch Vineyards in Calistoga and Hanson-Hsieh Vineyard in Oak Knoll. We picked the fruit from these vineyards starting on September 26th until October 17th, 2018.
WINEMAKER IMPRESSIONS
The wine has aromas of boysenberry, cherry, strawberry jam, rose petal, blueberry, chocolate, mocha, vanilla, and brown sugar. In the palate are flavors of raspberry, dried cranberry, black cherry, vanilla bean, and roasted coffee. The tannins are rounded and supple. The wine is very balanced in its approach. The wine is full bodied and has a velvety mouthfeel. Sourcing from these two stellar vineyards on the valley floor allows us to craft a wine with a rich deep palate and great red and black fruit aromas and flavors. BY THE NUMBERS BOTTLE/CASE
