    Dear Friends in Napa and Sonoma, We're all incredibly distraught and concerned about you. The loss of life is tragic, and we can hardly imagine the anxiety of those trying desperately to contact loved ones. Destruction to homes, wineries, and vineyards is ongoing. Here are Palate Press, we're working on

    Only 155 cases were made of the fruit-forward Sauvignon Blanc. It shows as rich on the nose, with ruby red grapefruit, fresh-cut hay, and teasing hints of caramel. On the palate, grapefruit leaps to the front and dances audaciously on the tongue. It is shot through with bright acidity. The

    Whole clusters show right away on the nose, as the aroma of stems joins blackberries and brown sugar. The stems are strong on the palate, too, coming through as woody and vegetal, the latter showing as tobacco leaf. Blackberries are dominant, wth seared beef fat in the background. This is

    The nose offers up aromas of butter, herbs, and blackberry. Blackberry pie comes through on the palate, with slightly unripe green flavors coming through. Some seared beef fat shows on the mid-palate through the finish. Drink with barbecue beef ribs. Recommended. 87 points. DBH   WHO: Apsara WHAT: Syrah DESIGNATION: Las Madres

    What We’re Drinking – Zuccardi “Q” Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

    Dark and rich in color, utterly opaque in the center and only hinting at purple and garnet around the edges. On the nose, nutmeg, pencil lead, black currant, and unsweetened chocolate merge. Loads of black fruit shine through on the palate, with blackberry on top and sweet blueberry and mulberry

    The color is translucent garnet in the center, with pink edges. The nose shows cherries, stems, dark earth and a touch of brown sugar. The palate, too, is earthy and herbaceous, but the fruit is more tart, with cranberry, redcurrant, and tiny wild strawberries. Hints of brown sugar linger with

    A beautifully classic white Burgundy wine: in fact, this is the style of wine that got me interested in wine in the first place. If you chill the bottle in your refrigerator, you’ll want to take it out 15-30 minutes before drinking so the wine can show off its various
