2014 Sauvignon Blanc
Critic's Notes:
"An impressive Sauvignon Blanc with loads of honeysuckle and melon, the 2014 from Charthia was aged 85% in stainless steel and 15% in neutral French. It's a big Sauvignon Blanc, but has plenty of finesse and character."

"...layers of caramel and almond. A hint of ripe cantaloupe, peach and apricot provides a sense of freshness on the finish."

2013 Pinot Noir
"The 2013 Pinot Noir has a light ruby color but very attractive depth and a velvety, sweet cherry and strawberry nose and flavors. This wine actually has some meat and density. Drink this sexy, premier cru Côte de Beaune lookalike over the next 2-3 years."

"Specks of rosemary give the aromatic entry of this wine a nice herbal invitation. This subtlety is followed by more bombastic waves of big, juicy black cherry, berry and oak. The tannins are still substantial, suggesting cellaring, through 2021."

2013 Cabernet Sauvignon
92 Points - "A delicious wine that I’ve never had before, Charthia’s 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, spent 22 months in 100% French oak. Beautiful blueberry and blackcurrant fruit and licorice are followed by a medium to full-bodied wine with excellent power, purity, ripeness and overall balance. I don’t know much about the estate, but this is high-class Napa Cabernet Sauvignon from a great vintage. Drink it over the next 15 or so years."
