WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

“A savory composition of berry preserves, toffee and spicy oak aromatics serves as a beautiful introduction to our latest offering. This elegant wine lingers on the palate, slowly drifting to a chewy, yet supple finish.”

Rating: 93 Points (James Suckling)

Plenty of black currants and licorice aromas with blueberries and hints of tar. Full body, fine tannins and an asphalt and slate finish. Drink in 2018.

Tasting Notes: Ruby red in color with a highly aromatic nose of spice and high-toned red fruit - tart cherry and raspberry. On the palate, deep flavors of raspberry, cola and toast, concentrated together in a classic clonal-designate way. This wine shows the great acid profile of a refined Pinot that will age beautifully. If you can wait, lay it down for a few years and you will be well rewarded.

The monumental 2014 vintage, called a "game changer” by Robert Parker and a"dream vintage” by Wine Spectator. 100% Cabernet.

The 12-barrel production of the 2014 Sueño Profundo Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve was drawn from the rocky eastern hillsides above St. Helena where Conn Creek flows off of Howell Mountain, a stone’s throw from Anderson’s Conn Valley and Seavey. Glistening dark-ruby to the rim, with intoxicating aromas of black raspberry, anise, and violets, gently framed by new-wood cedar. Rich, sappy, and dense on the attack with fine floral cut, this is not only the most concentrated effort from Ry Richards to date, it’s the most precisely defined and structured. Just shy of 15% in alcohol, but you would never know it, finishing with sturdy tannin backbone. Drink now for its primary-fruit hedonism or, far better, lay down the 2014 Reserve until sometime in the next decade.

Tasting Notes: "Merlot leads the orchestra of aromas, flavors and textures in this deeply colored Bordeaux blend. Each varietal plays it part, yet all contribute to the harmonious crescendo of dark black fruit, dark plum, spicy cardamom, nutmeg, and dried herb flavors. The finished piece is mouth-filling with fine tannins and closes with luxuriously, long notes of rich dark berries and spice."
