Mayacama Wine Offer - Boich Family Cellar

The main objective of Boich Family Cellar is to produce some of the finest single vineyard wines from Napa Valley’s most celebrated and proven vineyards. By combining the highest quality fruit with the skill and passion of a very talented winemaker, Jeff Ames, remarkable wines are produced.

Currently, Boich produces three single vineyard Cabernets from three different and distinct AVA’s in Napa Valley, and a Richie Vineyard Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley. Today, total production ranges between 800 and 1000 cases. New vineyard acquisitions are coming online in the next two years and we expect Boich cellars to continue to grow, bringing great wines to the table from such renowned vineyards as Beckstoffer To Kalon, Stagecoach and Missouri Hopper.

The Wines

2016 Chardonnay, Ritchie Vineyards, Russian River Valley
Ritchie Vineyards is a very well-known and prestigious vineyard, growing grapes for many of the cult wineries. The Ritchie Chardonnay shows amazing vibrancy and purity of flavor, brimming with juicy lemon-scented green apple, white peach and tangerine, enlivened by zesty acidity and a long finish that maintains focus and depth. This wine is not offered to the trade and is only available at Mayacama and the winery.

2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, George III Vineyard, Rutherford
The famed Beckstoffer Georges III in Rutherford offers notes of charcoal, licorice, truffle, black currant and a full-bodied mouth feel with stunning richness, length and a great finish. It is a magnificent Cabernet from a first-growth vineyard that was once the backbone of the many BV Private Reserves favored by Andre Tchelistcheff. The wine is just being released and has not been rated. Robert Parker rated the 2014 vintage 96 points.

2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain
For this sexy, delicious, up-front Cab, Boich purchased grapes from a well-known, high-end cult winery that shall be unnamed (ask me personally for the name…I can’t put it in print). This Cabernet has a dense ruby/purple color, hints of smoke, mineral, earth and spice. Supple-textured, with loads of fruit, soft tannins and good acidity. The wine is lush and surprisingly approachable for a Mountain Cab. Just being released and not yet rated.

2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, Wall Road, 91 pts
Another mountain Cabernet, the 2014 Wall Road Vineyard from Mt. Veeder, reveals beautiful raspberry, blueberry and floral notes and sweet tannin in a complex style. Robert Parker notes, "One rarely sees a quintessentially elegant wine from Mt. Veeder, as most of them tend to be blockbusters, but this certainly qualifies. It has an attractive personality, and the finish is long and reassuring. This is a beauty to drink now and over the next 10-15 years – a sleeper of the vintage."
