The initial release of the 2014 vintage Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is different from wines that will follow. We were offered an amazing opportunity to purchase a wine still in progress that very much is in the style and quality that Secret Door Winery is striving for. We chose to begin our new project like this only because the wines were so special.
The2014 vintage Secret Door Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was purchased in barrel from an unnamed winery who initially intended it as their primary $300/bottle wine. We don’t really know why they changed their mind, but it is not because the wines lacked the quality to stand in that elite group. Secret Door took over the wine while in barrel and finished it.
The proof of this is in the bottle and sneak preview tastes with Cabernet Sauvignon lovers have been nothing less than sensational. The true sources and story behind the wine will have to (by NDA contract) remain… SECRET. It seemed like the perfect kind of way to start a winery called – SECRET DOOR.

Kinsella Estates Jersey Boys Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon.
Winemaker: Thomas Rivers Brown
Pure 100% cabernet Sauvignon, this vineyard continually astonishes. Loads of loamy soil notes followed by blue and black fruits give this cabernet massive depth and beautiful integrated tannins. Milk chocolate, crème de cassis and tobacco give this massive wine the depth you come to expect with Napa cabs, but it is all Sonoma County, all from our magnificent little private valley which sees sun all day! We buy no fruit; we sell no fruit.
Jersey Boys Vineyard (Kevin Kinsella is the largest individual investor in the hit Broadway show "Jersey Boys")
Jersey Boys is a six-acre vineyard that was replanted in 2008 with four different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, handpicked by winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown.
Wow…just Wow!! This wine has it all. Not as “big” as past vintages this wine is gangbusters right out of the gate. Ripe blackberry, juicy and rich with a wonderful chocolate core. Has a dusky quality that we have seen in this vineyard in the past that tricks your brain into thinking the wine is older than it is. It’s pure. It’s rich. It’s delicious! Winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown
Any vegetable or meat in the grill. Delicious with Chocolate as well.
Cazaux Gigondas Tour Sarrasine is made from 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre. 45 year old vines on average.
This strong, warm wine comes from a selection of grapes planted on exceptional soils. The vineyards in Gigondas are situated on the arid hills of the Dentelles de Montmirail. The Mistral blows regularly on these slopes which limits the amount of treatment needed to the vines. The vines grow on stony soils and produce wine that can be kept easily for 10 yrs.
Intense, persistent red and dark fruit aromas. Raspberry, pepper and spice flavors. Silky tannins.
