Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 95.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5% Cabernet Franc, 1.9% Merlot, 0.4% Petit Verdot
The Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 has notes of red cherry, raspberry, blackberry, iris, vanilla and clove. Ruby in color, this elegant wine has great acidity and lift on the mid-palate. Black currant and warm baking spices linger with a deep and fruity finish. It will provide drinking pleasure through 2047 given proper cellaring.
Review:
Silver Oak's 2020 releases of Napa and Alexander Valley Cabernets are downright impressive. Tasted four years after the fires, in September of 2024 at the Alexander Valley winery, neither wine showed any sign of the hardened tannic structure or overwrought fruit often associated with the vintage. Instead, these wines remain true to Silver Oak’s signature style, with blackcurrant, fig, and plum fruits layered with white pepper, sweet cedar, and coriander spice. Medium-bodied, with sculpted tannins that persist through the lengthy finish, the Alexander Valley Cabernet in particular retains all the hallmarks of a balanced, inviting, and vibrant Silver Oak red.
-Decanter 94 Points
Truly gorgeous, fruity, velvety and enjoyable for a full-bodied cabernet. It is rich in blueberries, cherry cream, black cherries and raspberries on the palate, with very smooth, layered tannins and a soothing mouthfeel. So easy to drink now, but it will age well, too.
-James Suckling 94 Points
Argot Le Rayon Vert Chardonnay is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
"Le Rayon Vert", the phenomenon which occurs as the sun dips below the horizon, and a brilliant green flash occurs when sunlight prisms through Earth's atmosphere. Jules Verne wrote "a green which no artist could ever obtain on his palette”, akin to the ethereal, green halo all truly pedigreed Chardonnays radiate from the glass.
Wafting from the glass like a freshly opened stick of Wrigley's gum. Both intense and vibrant, the full-bodied palate delivers Granny Smith apple and stone fruits; confections of custard and sticky vanilla bean; animated by bursts of spearmint and pine forest.
Review:
The 2020 Le Rayon-Vert comes bounding out of the glass with bold notions of lemon meringue pie, fresh apricots, and sea spray, giving way to nuances of struck flint, wet pebbles, and Marcona almonds, plus wafts of lime leaves and mandarin peel. The medium to full-bodied is simply electric, delivering super-intense citrus and mineral layers with a crisp backbone and a very long, chalky finish.

Winery: Marco Capra Azienda Agricola
The estate is located in Santo Stefano Belbo, on the Seirole
hill between the Langhe and Monferrato districts. The main resource of the area
has always been the cultivation of the vine: the particular geological
conformation of the soil and its microclimate favor an optimal ripening of the
bunches and the acquisition of the typical organoleptic properties.
This is a small family-run company; the art of viniculture
is a wealth that the family has handed down for generations. The quality that
distinguishes the wine is determined by the control on the entire supply chain
from the vine to the bottle, through processes that follow the tradition while
promoting the innovation that distinguishes modern companies.
Today the company is managed by Marco Capra who has
succeeded in giving the right innovative boost typical of the new generations,
while continuing to observe the teachings and experience handed down by his
forefathers. The precious consulting skills of the oenologists Dante Scaglione
and Daniela Serra is a further guarantee for the production of the very best
quality wines.
Date Founded: 1945
Owner: Marco Capra
Winery Philosophy: "Wine is a piece of Art. We
make wine as artists create their artworks. We give voice to the grapes,
exalting them with our expertise."
Tommaso Capra, known as “Tumasin”, founded the estate in the hills of Santo
Stefano Belbo in 1945. Tommaso then handed down his experience and winemaking
culture to his son Luciano. Until the end of the 1980s, the primary activity of
the estate was the production of high quality wine sold in traditional
demijohns to the wholesalers.
In 1999 Marco, Luciano’s grandson, took over the company,
giving new energy to the business. Driven by a real passion for wine and an
aspiration to renewal and his youthful enthusiasm, Marco has carried on the
family tradition and contributed to its growth.
In 2014 Marco Capra decided to change the name “Azienda
Agricola Sanmarco” and started using his own name Marco Capra directly onto the
label to highlight his personal “touch”. The convincing result is visible in
the wines, which fully express the typicity of the territory and have succeeded
in gaining the increasing appreciation of both wine experts and wine
enthusiasts.

Winery Production: 5,000 / 9L cases
Varietals Produced: PINOT NOIR, CHARDONNAY, MOSCATO,
NASCETTA, DOLCETTO, BARBERA, NEBBIOLO
Winemaker: Marco Capra
Marco Capra was born in 1981 in Asti and has been living in
Santo Stefano Belbo since his birth. He started working with his grandfather
for a couple of years when he was 18. From 1996 to 1998 he learned to work the
land and the vineyards, while in 1999 he started working fulltime at the
winery. In 2001 the winery was renovated and in 2014 he personalized the name
of the label after his name. He is married to Monica and is a father of two
lovely kids of 7 and - Elisabetta and Riccardo.
Producing high quality wines is Marco Capra’s first goal,
and in order to achieve this, his personal commitment and work start in the
vineyard: “The vineyards are our most important capital and it is our job to
take care of them and work them in the most natural and eco-compatible way
possible”. Piedmont is renowned for its typical, richly traditional grape
varieties – Nascetta, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera and Moscato.
The hills that give life to Marco Capra wines are those of
Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, a wonderful marriage between nature and man’s
work recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. From the top of the
Seirole hill in Santo Stefano Belbo; Marco enjoys a spectacular view on the
vineyards which are perched on the gentle slopes, with the best exposition to
the sun’s rays and the breeze from the wind. The terroir is special, very rich
and able to give life to the great wines of the Piedmontese heritage.
Marco Capra Azienda Agricola produces mainly Piedmont’s
autochthonous wines to enjoy all the characteristics of the terroir. The
vineyards were chosen in the areas that are most suited to the cultivation of
the single grape varieties. Meticulous care and attention are given to the
vines, in the respect of agriculture techniques that allow to keep the yield
under control. Defensive treatments are carried out prioritizing products with
a low environmental impact.
The beginning of the harvest is decided by observing the degree of ripeness of
the grapes, their sugar and acid contents and their development over time on
the basis of the atmospheric conditions. The harvest usually starts at the end
of August, with the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes for sparkling wines,
whereas Moscato, Chardonnay and Nascetta grapes are harvested at the beginning
of September. Dolcetto and Barbera grapes are harvested between the end of
September and the beginning of October followed, in mid October, by Nebbiolo grapes.
The grapes are all harvested by hand, into small perforated crates. All the
phonological phases and the work in the vineyard are supervised by the
agronomist Angelo Cortese.
The cellar
The wine is born in the vineyard, but man is responsible for trying to best
transform the fruit that he receives after months of hard work in the vineyard.
The architectural structure and all the technical systems have been designed
and built to obtain the transformation of the grapes to the highest possible
levels.
The cellar is equipped with all the latest technology, yet it remains faithful
to the most traditional vinification processes.
Every step of the winemaking process - from the arrival of the grapes to
fermentation, maturation, bottling, aging and shipping - is supervised by Marco
Capra who, flanked by the oenologists Daniela Serra and Dante Scaglione,
oversees every single phase in order to achieve the best final result.

Cazaux Vacqueyras Rouge Grenat Noble 100% Grenache.
This wine is the result of extraordinary weather conditions. The first cuvée was produced in 1992 when violent storms and floods affected the region (especially Vaison la Romaine). The following days were radiant and accompanied by Mistral winds. We could then continue to harvest or more precisely harvest what remained of a rotten crop - but a noble rotten crop!
Following our first involuntary test of 1992, we wanted to reproduce this wine but we had to wait until 1995 to isolate the parcels that were capable of producing this noble rot. Unfortunately, the "noble" phenomenon does not occur every year despite late harvests (October 15).
The resulting wine is offers aromas of small red berries (cherries, raspberries), liquorice, fig, honey, fruit brandy and plum. It is elegant, supple and smooth on the palate with a firm, generous and suave structure. A beautiful length on spices and cherry.
This Grenache nectar marries will with dishes such as pan-fried foie gras in honey and fig preserve, leg of lamb with preserved fruits accompanied by local cereal "epautre" or other sweet and sour dishes.
Maysara Jamsheed Pinot Noir is made of 100 percent Pinot Noir
11 months in 10% new French oak barrels
According to ancient Persian legend, King Jamsheed was able to observe his entire realm by peering into his full wine goblet.
Beginning with a generous core of red-black fruits, the McMinnville AVA saunters over the palate with both bravado and grace. Blackberry and fresh cracked pepper entwine perfectly with matured and lengthy tannins on the finish. The depth of this unassuming bottling is always an adventure to mine. Some older prospectors hear tell of herbal notes… silver sage? rosemary?
At Maysara Winery & Momtazi Vineyard, we are committed to cap-turing the complete expression of our land and conveying it to you through superior quality in every bottle. We practice only low-impact, holistic farming methods in our Demeter Certified Biodynamic Vineyard. We are confident these practices are the best way to capture the true essence of the soil in our fruit and ensure health of our vines and the unique accent of our terroir for generations. This philosophy is carried into the cellar, where Demeter Certified Biodynamic wine-making practices produce wines with intensity, sophistication and elegance while maintaining a purity of both fruit and earth.
Always offering generous accessibility, pair Jamsheed with darker fowl, grilled meats or salmon, even caramelized veggies.
