2021 Zeitgeist Cellars Sleeping Lady Cabernet Sauvignon Yountville
100 pts
A wine that tops out my scale, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Sleeping Lady is 100% varietal from a great site just outside of Yountville and was brought up in 70% new French oak. It s an incredible wine in every sense, offering incredible purity as well as laser-like precision in its cassis, darker currants, lead pencil, graphite, and crushed stone-driven aromas and flavors. Possessing full-bodied, incredible richness, building tannins, yet integrated acidity and flawless overall balance, it’s a tour de force in winemaking and quite possibly the finest wine I’ve tasted from this vineyard. Hide bottles for 4-5 years, and it should evolve for well over two decades. Hats off to winemaker Jennifer Williams.

2021 Zeitgeist Oakville Station Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville, Napa Valley
98 pts
The single-varietal 2021 Oakville Station Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs a bit of swirling to bring out fragrant scents of forest floor, dusty soil, and potpourri leading to a core of warm cassis, blackberry pie, and redcurrant jelly. The full-bodied palate has impressive tension, with a fine-grained texture and fantastically expressive black and red fruit layers, finishing long and minerally. This is beautiful!

The only wine from Williams that’s fermented all in barrels, the 2021 Cabernet Franc Sleeping Lady Vineyard is another truly sensation wine from this team. Compared to the Cabernet Sauvignon releases, it stays more focused and chiseled, with medium to full-bodied richness as well as sensational levels of purity in its redcurrants, spring flowers, graphite, and forest floor-like aromatics and flavors. As with the other releases from Williams, it has riveting purity, flawless balance, and a gorgeous finish. Enjoy bottles over the coming two decades.

Just about pure perfection, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Station Vineyard is jaw-dropping good juice that comes from a great vineyard in Oakville that’s surrounded by the likes of To Kalon, Martha’s Vineyard, Opus One, and Far Niente.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Sleeping Lady Vineyard shows a classic, almost old school style in its more mineral-laced, graphite, lead pencil, and floral aromas and flavors. Nicely concentrated and medium to full-bodied, with beautiful cassis and almost black raspberry fruits, it builds with time in the glass, has ripe yet firm tannins, and a great finish.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley just about blows the door off the value category, and readers will be hard pressed to find a better Cabernet Sauvignon at the price. A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Cabernet Franc, from a handful of top sites, it offers a deep purple hue, notes of red, blue, and black fruits, violets, and spicy wood, medium to full body, a round, layered mouthfeel, and a great finish. The purity of fruit is spot on, and this can be drunk today or cellared for 10-15 years. Hats off to winemaker Jennifer Williams for another no-brainer value. March 10, 2022 www.jebdunnuck.com

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Grove comes from the Lewelling Vineyard, outside of St. Helena, and it’s another full-bodied, impressively textured wine from winemakers Jennifer Williams and Mark Porembski. Cassis, vanilla bean, jammy blackberries, and white flowers are just some of the nuances here, and it’s full-bodied, with a rounded, elegant texture and beautiful tannins. It’s already terrific, but I have no doubt it will evolve for 15-20 years or more. January 27, 2021 www.jebdunnuck.com

Readers looking for a great Napa Valley Cabernet under $100 should snatch up the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley from Zeitgeist.

Starting with the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon (92% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc), it has a vibrant purple color as well as a great nose of red, blue, and black fruits intermixed with lots of spice, spring flowers, chocolate, and forest floor.

2016 Zeitgeist Cellars Sleeping Lady Cabernet Sauvignon
97 pts
One of the finest wines I was able to taste from this up and coming vineyard outside of Yountville, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Sleeping Lady is all Clone 7 Cabernet Sauvignon (there’s a splash of Cabernet Franc in there as well) aged 22 months in barrel. A majestic, seamless wine, with tons of liquid violets, lead pencil shavings, rocky minerality, and crème de cassis, it hits the palate with awesome purity of fruit, sweet tannins, and a finish that leaves you looking for another glass. Despite its purity of fruit and balance, it has enough tannins to warrant 2-4 years or bottle age and will keep for 20+ years.” January 31, 2019 www.jebdunnuck.com

Made to be fresh, fruity and enjoyed frequently, this wine is oily in lemon and apricot, with a refreshing, spritzy acidity that’s both bright and complex. The vineyard is one of very few in the state to grow the variety and this producer has made it its mission to honor both the site and the grape. She does.

The utterly profound 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Sleeping Lady Vineyard comes from a site of alluvial soils just south of Dominus. This killer wine has a Graves-like minerality as well as loads of cassis and blackcurrant fruit, notes of tobacco, cedarwood, and earth, full-bodied richness, and an ethereal texture. It’s an awesome wine and possibly one of the greatest wines from this site. It’s already hard to resist given its texture and balance, but will keep for 2-3 decades. Bravo!–Jeb Dunnuck

There’s 400 cases of the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon and it’s a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, from the Farella, Lewelling, and Sleeping Lady Vineyard, that was brought up in 70% new French oak.

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from four separate AVAs: Coombsville, St. Helena, Yountville and Oakville.

It is multi-layered, impressive and has the silky suppleness of the 2014 vintage as a hallmark. Drink it over the next 15-20+ years. —Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Mark Porembski and Jennifer Williams make this wine from the Fanucchi Wood Road Vineyard in Fulton, from vines Peter Fanucchi planted in 1981. It’s an old-fashioned white. the sort that speaks of its terroir in scents of the local flora—in this case, mustard flowers, peaches and pears.

Mark Porembski and Jennifer Williams blend this wine from two vineyards, Anomaly in St. Helena and Farella in Coombsville. The warm and the cool ends of the valley combine in a clean, supple 2010, balancing blue fruit and brushy manzanita spice with fat, round tannins. It’s a little heady in alcohol, but that’s integrated to read as richness. A sleek Napa Valley cabernet to match lean, grass-fed beef. (296 cases) Zeitgeist Cellars, St. Helena, CA

A blend from two vineyards, one in St. Helena, one in Coombsville, this is made by husband-and-wife team Mark Porembski and Jennifer Williams. The wine has a long drive of flavor, with cool red fruit darkening to black cherry. It feels elegant up until the end, the point where the warm St. Helena tannins haven’t yet integrated with the cooler tones of Coombsville. Give it time in bottle and more clarity of flavor should emerge in the finish. Zeitgeist Cellars, St. Helena, CA
An impressive number of married couples also seem to enjoy making wine together…Add to that list Jennifer Williams, winemaker of Spottswoode (where I worked the harvest and wrote about it) and her husband Mark Poremski, winemaker at Anomoly and Charnu. Together they make Zeitgeist Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon. More…
…St. Helena resident Mark Porembski makes wines for Anomaly Vineyards and for Charnu Winery, both Napa Valley Vintner members. His wife, Jennifer Williams, is the winemaker and vineyard manager for Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery. Porembski was first assistant winemaker at Behrens & Hitchcock/Erna Schein Winery on Spring Mountain in St. Helena and joined Anomaly in 2002. Three years later, in 2005, he became winemaker. Jennifer Williams has worked in Napa and the Central Coast and has completed an internship in northern Spain. She said, “The majority of my education and experience in the industry has had a vineyard focus. It’s been the grace of a handful of wonderful winemaker mentors who have taught me the ropes, and from whom I continue to learn.” One of those, obviously, was Rosemary Cakebread, who made wine at Spottswoode for nearly 10 years.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Station is just about pure perfection and is a match for anything in the vintage. All varietal from a great vineyard in Oakville, aged 20 months in 65% new barrels, it has a full-bodied, pure, focused, incredibly impressive style as well as ample cassis and black raspberry-like fruit, notes of graphite, chocolate, and spring flowers, building yet ripe and polished tannins, and remarkable purity. The purity, depth, and balance here are something to behold. As with most 2021s, 3-4 years of bottle age are warranted, but it will evolve for two decades at a minimum.

Zeitgeist’s 2019 Cabernet Franc Sleeping Lady Vineyard is decidedly herbal, but attractively so, with hints of tobacco and tomato leaf accenting cassis and black cherries on the nose. The 20 months in 95% new French oak have made minimal impact on the aromatics. In the mouth, this super wine is full-bodied and supple yet grainy, with more stuffing even than the Cabernet Sauvignon, finishing long, chewy and rich. 70 cases produced.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is fabulous. Then again, that should not be entirely surprising given that Zeitgeist pulls fruit from Sleeping Lady, Farella and Lewelling for this bottling. Dark, powerful and ample, the 2016 speaks with the voice of distinction. Black cherry, smoke, licorice, scorched earth and leather add to an impression of gravitas. This is an especially dense, potent wine in its peer group. Give it another year or two in bottle.

Very pale color. Fresh herbs, white pepper, smoke and spices on the nose; reminded me a bit of gruner veltliner. Tactile, saline and bracing in the mouth, with very dry but not overly herbal flavors of lemon zest, anise, white pepper and snap pea. Dusty and concentrated but not hard. Saturates the palate with lemon, pepper and spices on the lingering finish. Leaves the mouth feeling refreshed. I like this style. — Stephen Tanzer May 2014

Good dark ruby. Captivating floral lift to the aromas of cassis, black cherry, licorice and graphite minerality, with complementary sweet oak nuances. Sweet, dense, supple and deep, with dark berry and spice flavors nicely framed by harmonious acidity and accented by piquant pepper and herb notes. Finishes juicy and long, with firm-edge tannins and lovely floral lift. Very well done.
Zeitgeist Cellars Syrah Bald Mountain Ranch, Mt. Veeder 2008
Zeitgeist is a philosophical term meaning the spirit of the times. Zeitgeist Cellars was conceived and is operated by Mark Porembski and Jennifer Williams. Mark’s day jobs are as assistant winemaker at Behrens Family Winery and winemaker at Anomaly Vineyard in St. Helena. Jennifer’s day job is that of winemaker at Spottswoode Estate Winery in St. Helena. Mark’s path to California took him through Boston’s North End where he was drawn to wine via the relaxed underage drinking policies of the waiters in some of his favorite eateries. He moved to California in 2000 holding tightly in his hand that which all good winemakers strive for: a degree in poetry. The bard has found his vehicle. Jennifer has a degree in agriculture from Cal Poly and paid her dues at a number of wineries in California as well as in Rioja Alavesa in Spain before accepting the winemaking position at Spottswoode in 2006. The Zeitgeist Syrah hails from a dry-farmed vineyard located at the top of Mt. Veeder, which straddles the Napa/Sonoma county line. The rows that they have contracted lie within the Napa Valley appellation. Comprised of 100% Syrah, the nose belies its origin. One sniff and you are vaulted into the Rhone. Perhaps Cornas or Hermitage. Meaty and brooding, the wine has a very intense nose that screams SYRAH. The flavors that follow are true to what is promised in the nose, but with an unexpected smoothness that belies the intensity. 47 cases produced
