" We don't sell the wine without touching the vine "
Wine from Sam Jasper
Filter
In the language of wine, Sam Jasper Cabernet Sauvignon speaks of the passing seasons which shape its vintage, of the crucible of forces that formed its spectacular Napa Valley terroir, and, more symbolically, of the dreams of the Indelicato family.
There is no recipe for Sam Jasper wine, only an idea: Dream whatʼs possible. Then do oneʼs utmost to realize that dream. Itʼs a philosophy that has guided the Indelicato family since the earliest days in the United States. Today those dreams have taken shape in a single, exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon.
“Sam Jasper” was the Anglicized name that Gaspare Indelicato gave to the humble winery in Manteca, California in which he crushed his first commercial vintage. One century later, the release of the inaugural vintage of Sam Jasper Cabernet Sauvignon marks a new chapter for the Indelicato family in California winemaking.
To create this flagship wine, the Indelicato family and winemaker Ralf Holdenried brought on noted consulting winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown to collaborate on a singular Napa Valley cuvée that serves as both a tribute honoring generations past, and a signpost forward for generations to come.
Winemaking is inherently collaborative. The winemaker collaborates first with nature—taking what’s offered and shaping it according to philosophy and necessity—and second with each person who touches a vine or its juice along the slow journey from vineyard to bottle.
Sam Jasper Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the collaborative efforts of two Napa Valley winemaking veterans, Thomas Rivers Brown and Ralf Holdenried, working in tandem with nature and each other.

An inky purple hue, the wine offers fragrant aromas of ripe, brambly berries and plums, edged in notes of walnut husk and cedar. The palate explodes with intense flavors of redcurrant and cherry, fanning out in a broad, silky wave that mingles vibrant fruit flavors with accents of espresso, chocolate and graphite, and lingers on the long finish.
Review:
A new project from the Indelicato family (Black Stallion Winery) and consultant Thomas Rivers Brown, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a ripe, full-bodied effort, loaded with scents of cherries, baking spices and dark chocolate accented by subtle herbal shadings. It's supple and expansive on the palate, culminating in a long, mouthwatering finish that combines a touch of warmth and a dusting of silky tannins. It should drink well for more than a decade.

Boroli Cerequio is made from 100 percent Nebbiolo.
The Boroli family is a family of entrepreneurs, with roots in Piedmont dating back to 1831. The family started their winemaking business in1997, when Silvano and Elena Boroli felt an ardent desire to step away from the pressures of their publishing business and reconnect to nature. Silvano and Elena grew the company until their son, Achille, stepped in to run the wine-growing and production business in 2012.
With the 2012 grape harvest Achille decided to radically change the methods used in vineyards and wineries, aiming for the highest quality in Barolo and its crus. He cut production levels, updated the winemaking technology, and focused on low intervention methods to raise the quality of the Boroli wines be on par with the finest Barolo wines.
About the Vineyard
The Cerequio cru lies just across the valley from the Boroli winery in the commune of La Morra and is considered one of the most prestigious sites in the Barolo DOCG zone. It is known to produce Nebbiolo wine of enormous elegance and finesse.
Wine Production
Cerequio is distinguished by a careful selection of grapes, precise destemming, and a long maceration with submerged cap.
Tasting Notes
A clear bright ruby color with very light garnet red reflections; intense and persistent aroma of red fruit with notes of plum and cherry. A pleasant aroma of wood is noticeable after the fruity aroma, anticipating the full taste of a great wine suitable for long lasting life. A succulent, rich, full-bodied and pleasant taste emerges after the woody one, with the presence of slightly ripe red fruit.
Food Pairing
Thanks to its viscosity and body, Barolo is the ideal wine to pair with elaborate dishes and dishes like truffle dishes, meat dishes, pasta with porcini mushrooms, game, and aged cheeses. Cerequio is also perfect with dry pastries or chocolate.
Review:
Elegant bright ruby red. Fragrant and inviting nose of strawberries with whipped cream, icing sugar, elderflower and roses. Flattering palate with clear fruit and appealing acidity, unfolds into a complex style, punchy on the palate with a clear, slightly salty finish.
