This is a knockout Cab! Fisticuffs’ vision is to produce the highest quality wine while keeping its pricing well managed - in essence, to over deliver.

In the creation of this blend, Rob has applied the rigorous standards associated with the best Cabernets of Napa Valley, while sourcing fruit and blending components from some of Napa Valley’s top vineyards. ...More

Presumably in connection with wider sourcing of fruit for Gunderloch’s nowadays high-volume Kabinett cuvee, that wine has been marginally disappointing in recent years, but I’m happy to report that the 2010 Riesling Kabinett Jean-Baptiste is highly-satisfying, its sweetness well-judged and its satin-textured palate a lemon and orange matrix suffused with crushed stone. There could be more focus and penetration to the finish, but this should prove a satisfactory companion for several years. -David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate ...More

The Ministry of the Vinterior has spared no expense or effort in farming what it feels is a paradigm of this variety. But individual taste is subjective and the general population will decide the flavors and qualities it finds in the wine. As one of the world's most versatile food wines, Pinot Noir plays well with poultry, beef, fish, lamb and pork; with creamy sauces and spicy foods; with bare thighs and a rubber duck. It's the only wine the populace ever needs. ...More
