august - september 2020

Hi Club Members,


These past few weeks has thrown another hurdle at our community and industry, this time with the various wildfires. Once again, we have been fortunate at Vine Cliff to weather it all so that we can continue to do what we do best: make quality wine and give our Vine Cliff friends the best wine experience in the Napa Valley. This also means getting our Wine Club August wine selection to you on time. We are pleased to ship you our newly released 2018 Los Carneros Proprietress Reserve Chardonnay and/or our 2017 Napa Valley Malbec. 


If you opted for Curbside Pickup, your wines will be ready as of Monday, August 31st from the winery.
 

For Wine Club shipments destined for delivery outside of California, your wines will be on heat hold until the end of September or until weather permits. If you would like your wines shipped now, we are offering a special 2-day air shipping for $20.00.
Please call us at
707-944-2019 direct or  707-944-1364  or  email us to change your delivery instructions and take up the 2 day air shipping offer.


Our team at Vine Cliff is very grateful for the brave firefighters and first responders who have once again heeded the call for assistance to save our homes and wineries. These fires have caused such devastation to so many parts of Northern California, covering beautiful woodlands and state parks as well as private property. We can't thank these brave men and women enough for all that they have done to save us from these natural disasters in recent years. Join us as we support the firefighters of Napa and Sonoma Counties at https://tcufund.org/lnu-fire-relief/


Please keep safe, keep healthy and keep happy!

 
Nell  Sweeney,

Proprietress


wine club new release tasting notes



2017 Vine Cliff Oakville Malbec



The nose opens with milk chocolate giving way to black cherry and hints of lilac blossom and dried savory herbs. On the pallet a generous amount of plum and blueberry fruit followed by savory black tea and pencil shaving on the mid pallet with a plum tart finish. Nice acid back bone and plush fine grained tannins. Drink now through 2027. 








2018 Vine Cliff “Proprietress Reserve”

Los Carneros Chardonnay



A generous bouquet of lemon zest, green apple and honey comb on the nose with accents of sweet light oak toast. Flavors of Bartlett pear, lemon meringue, open up to wet limestone minerality with a nice long grapefruit zest finish. Enjoy now through 2030. 





Taste the newly released 2018 Los Carneros Chardonnay and
