The flagship wines include the 2014 J. Daniel Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon, which comes from three sources, the family vineyard called Molehill at a 1700-feet elevation on Howell Mountain, the Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard and Heimark Vineyard in Calistoga. A gorgeous 2014, with notes of graphite, mulberry and blackcurrant, this full-bodied, opaque purple wine offers terrific fruit purity, sweet tannin, and a long finish of a good 45+ seconds. It was aged 19 months in 75% new French oak and is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. There are 1,064 cases, and it can be drunk now or cellared for another 25 years.

About the Producer
Robin Daniel Lail’s heritage began in 1879 with the founding of
Inglenook Vineyards by her great-granduncle, the iconic Captain Gustave
Niebaum. Robin is a legend, helping found Dominus and Merryvale, she is
one of the most influential woman in Napa Valley history and remains
that way to this day. She saw the talent in a young Philippe Melka and
hired him as winemaker, it was one of his very first gigs in Napa and
has remained at the helm of winemaking ever since.
