Mikami Vineyards 2014 Zinfandel - Half Case
The 2014 Zinfandel represents 120 years of winegrowing, spanning three generations of the Mikami family (four including Hillcrest 4th grader Kate). It is a tribute to the family's father, who for over 40 years single-handedly managed this 15-acre vineyard. This vintage was harvested from a reserved block of 450 vines and aged for more than 18 months.  Limited to 180 cases, each bottle is hand-numbered.  Awarded Double Gold Medal, San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.

3 Full-Bodied Italians
Three full-bodied Italian wines. What's not to like?!  Enjoy a 2016 Tiefenbrunner Pinot Grigio, a 2011 Bersano Generala Barbera D'Asti, and a 2012 Cascina Adelaide Barolo.  All three scored in the 90's by Wine Spectator.  Salute!
803
2 Bottles of Kosta Browne Pinot Noir
You can't go wrong with 2 bottles of the famous Kosta Browne Pinot Noir.  A 2013 from the Sonoma Coast and a 2014 from the Russian River Valley.  On the heels of a truly wonderful 2013 harvest came an even more special 2014.   In 2014, the consistency and quality of fruit from across these vineyards was astonishing and beautiful to work with.  Enjoy wines from both spectacular vintages.
804
2 Bottles of "Iridescence" Cabernet Franc
Two limited edition bottles of 100% Cabernet Franc produced by Friedman Vineyards located within the Napa Valley Coombsville Appellation. The vineyard's volcanic ash soil is shallow, thus lending to the production of an elegantly balanced fruit in the form of tight and concentrated grape clusters. This 2014 Cab Franc has been produced and bottled in an extremely small quantity by the highly regarded Bell Wine Cellars in Yountville, California. The 2010 vintage of this grape was awarded the Double Gold Medal in the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. A limited few cases were made commercially available in the Bell Wine Cellars tasting room last year and quickly sold out at $75.00 per bottle. It is now unavailable at any price.
805
2 Bottle Wine Library - Hafner Cabernet Collection
Two lovely Hafner Cabernets. The 2006 has violets, cassis, black cherries and anise aromas. Supple, velvety, rich. Bittersweet chocolate, sweet mint, black pepper notes. Long, chewy finish. The 2011 has cherries, black pepper, picholine olives and nutmeg aromas.  Lively, bright flavors of mint, forest floor, bittersweet chocolate and toasty vanilla.  Cheers!
806
2003 Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte
Rated a 92 by Robert Parker, this opulent, accessible 2003 offers a dense plum/ruby-tinged color and a big, sweet bouquet of creme de cassis, smoked herbs, lead pencil, and subtle wood. It is a deep, fleshy, medium to full-bodied offering with low acidity, a plump, opulent texture, and a heady finish. Enjoy this beauty now through 2021.
807

2016 Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc - Half Case
Rated a 90 by Wine Enthusiast: "This ticks all the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc boxes: cut grass, snow pea, nectarine and citrus, all bundled into a medium-bodied wine that comes across as dry, silky and refreshing."
