Winemaker Dinner AXR Napa Valley

Dinner and tasting AXR Wines of Napa Valley
Saturday, August 25 @ 5:00 p.m.
$100 per person

With thanks to member Michael Cooke, the Club is delighted to welcome AXR Napa Valley for this tasting opportunity. Your AXR host for the evening is winemaker extraordinaire, David Gibson.

Founders Kelly Trevethan, Mark Schratz and Don Van Laeken, along with consulting winemaker, Jean Hoefliger. “This group of unassuming romantics believes in paying homage to the pioneers who had the vision, planted the vines, and grew the Napa Valley lifestyle. Our team is looking forward to engaging with new people, telling a joke or two, and sharing great wine!”

The winemakers look forward to sharing with you these four favorites:
2017 AXR Sauvignon Blanc: A vibrant Sauvignon Blanc with a fresh bright entrance evolving on a round mid palate with touches of jasmine, cherry blossom, and citrus
2015 AXR Chardonnay: A beautiful Chardonnay with an intriguing interplay of lively citrus and subtle toasted oak notes.
2014 AXR Cabernet Sauvignon: A mysterious and compelling expression of Napa Valley’s unique terroir, lingering on dense tannins, dark fruits and chocolate.
2015 AXR V Mad Cabernet Sauvignon:  With dark fruit and large tannin structure
