Earlier this week we were invited by David Bryant, to preview the new vineyard tasting experience that John Anthony Vineyards will be offering at their very scenic vineyard location in the Mayacamas range within the Oak Knoll AVA. This experience is available by appointment only and ICONIC Wine Tours is happy to announce a preferred partnership program with John Anthony Vineyards.
As can be seen from these pictures the view from this vineyard site is nothing short of spectacular!
From this amazing perch overlooking the Napa Valley we tasted the 2012 John Anthony Church Vineyard Carneros sauvignon blanc and the 2009 Oak Knoll District cabernet sauvignon.
This is a perfect place to do a picnic lunch, catered dinners and other wine centric affairs.
2012 "Church Vineyard" Sauvignon Blanc
Enticing aromatics of honeydew and asian pear in the nose lead to a luscious and rounded mouthfeel, showing ripe peach, nectarine and guava with a kick of roasted Meyer lemon and a zing of spice, finishing with balanced acidity with nuances of perfectly ripened tropical fruit.
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Attractive aromas of dark berry, red berry, red and black licorice make way to flavors of huckleberry, dried cherry, anise and roasted coffee. Integrated with ripe and nutty tannins, it's cedary oak and cigar box notes leave you with a plush and silky lingering finish.
