The wine maker for B Cellars of Napa Valley is Kirk Venge, named “One of the Top 20 New Winemakers in the World” by Food & Wine Magazine (October 2005). Kirk brought with him a 37 year winemaking legacy via his father, Nils (Saddleback Cellars), and a keen understanding of theNapa appellation. He and the founders of the winery focused on the artisan approach, creating perfectly balanced and complex wines by blending from mutually complementary varietals. The proof is in the bottle and Randy Hazard will be here pouring the B line-up and discussing the winery itself.
Next week we begin our year-end fascination with wines that sparkle, with the spotlight on Gruet Winery of New Mexico.
2006 B Cellars Blend 23
List price: $ 28.00; OUR PRICE $25.00
This fresh white blend is comprised of 27% Chardonnay, 43% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Viognier. It possesses a brilliant voluminous mélange of lemon citrus, orange blossom and rose water aromas.On the palate are copious amounts of vibrant tropical fruit and citrus flavors which are bound by a touch of minerality, honeysuckle, subtle oak and acid structure. Barrel fermentation adds to the perfect balance.
2004 B Cellars Blend 24, Napa
List price: $36.00; OUR PRICE $32.50
The blend here is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 10% Syrah. This is a dry, fairly tannic wine that’s a bit astringent now, but should develop well in the bottle, to judge by the deep core of blackberry, cassis and cherry-chocolate. It’s very elegant, owing to the feminine sophistication one achieves with French oak.
This bottling received a 90-point rating from Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
2004 B Cellars Blend 25, Napa
List price: $48.00; OUR PRICE $43.50
This is a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon and 34% Syrah. It features black cherry, blackberries, sweet black fruit and a hint of espresso and licorice at the onset. It is followed by an array of black stone fruits, clove, and hints of vanilla from the oak. The texture is firm and balanced with symmetrical parts of sweet ripe tannin and acidity. The fleshy and moderately chewy mid-palate pushes on to a generous and memorable finish.
This bottling received a 94-point rating from Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
2004 B Cellars Blend 26, Napa
List price: $85.00; OUR PRICE $76.75
The blend is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and the characteristics of Blend 26 are dramatic; exactly what one expects from fruit derived from Napa Valley’s most coveted vineyards, namely: Tokalon, George III and Stagecoach. This wine begins with scents of allspice and cloves, then lengthens with black berry, black cherry and a subtle sensation of vanilla which is imparted from the 85% new French oak. This is a wine for the ages.
This bottling received a 94-point rating from Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
2005 B Cellars Petite Sirah, Napa
List price: $38.00; OUR PRICE $34.00
This inky hued wine of 100% Petite Sirah is full of violet and blueberry aromas. The palate delivers a complex and full bodied array of blackberry and black cherry, with hints of coffee and ripe cassis.The tannins are well structured and will continue to improve in this wine for several years. Only 90 cases were produces.
