BROWN NAPA VALLEY BROWN ESTATE 2017 CHAOS THEORY PROPRIETARY RED BLEND
Chaos Theory began as a one-off blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel that David created for our first participation in the annual Premiere Napa Valley trade auction. It made such a splash he went back to the cellar to dial in the details so we could make it a permanent part of our lineup. Over the years this proprietary blend has become a shapeshifter, each vintage its own unique blend. Such is our journey through the world of wine - a constant adventure that reminds us year in and year out that no matter how random or chaotic things may seem, amidst the mayhem there is reason, if not always rhyme, to all we do and experience.
Technical Composition: 50% Merlot / 25% Petite Sirah / 15% Zinfandel / 5% Petite Verdot / 5% Cabernet Sauvignon Fruit sources: Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon-Brown Estate MerlotChiles Valley Petite Verdot - Coombsville Appellation: Napa Valley Barrel aging: 12 months in 25% new oak, 50/50 French/American ABV: pH: TA:14.7% 3.69 6.6

Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon 3-Pack in wooden box
WS review 96/100 WA 98/100
Destined to rank as one of the all-time greats from Ridge, the 2017 Monte Bello opens in the glass with youthfully complex notes of ripe plums, cassis, espresso roast and black truffles, with little apparent trace of its time in 100% new oak. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and incredibly concentrated, with a rich, layered mid-palate and immense substance that marks it out as the most richly tannic Monte Bello since 2013. As ever, the acids are vibrant, with a classic pH of around 3.5-notably lower than most Cabernet. Sauvignons from contemporary Bordeaux or Napa Valley, thanks to this site’s limestone soils and high altitude. At the time of writing, the blend is 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, though that may change by the time it’s bottled. Eric Baugher observes that fermentations were slow in 2017, which protracted the period of extraction, partially accounting for this vintage’s power. It’s still a baby, but this is a strong contender for a perfect score when it’s bottled in over a year’s time-and it should see out its 50th birthday in style.

“You can’t be common because the common man goes nowhere. You have to be uncommon.” –Herb Brooks
You will be uncommon when you win this incredibly rare “Miracle on Ice” Team USA jersey signed by all 20 members of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team.
These college players, mostly from Minnesota, defeated the seemingly invincible Soviet team in one of the greatest upsets in Olympic sports history. This celebrated moment wasn’t merely a hockey victory. In the midst of the Cold War, economic struggles, and international tensions, these young athletes provided a moment of national unity and pride that continues to inspire generations.
