Obsidian Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon 2007: 90 points, Wine Enthusiast" A beautiful Cabernet that shows the promise of this Lake County appellation."
Kazmer & Blaise Chardonnay 2006: 95 points, Wine Spectator "Deliciously complex, rich and layered, with a mix of fig, apricot,
spice and smoky, toasty oak, all fanning out to subtle nuances and ending with a wonderful finish."
Molnar Family Pinot Noir 2007: 91 points, Wine Enthusiast "...lush, appealing flavors of cherries, raspberries, cedar, cola, vanilla and spices. With a silky texture, it should develop through 2013."

Arpad G. Molnar, Managing Partner
Still not sure how he finds himself in the wine business, Arpad is the herder of the group and keeps the trains running on time. He was instrumental in getting Peter and Michael to think about making a business out of their little wine hobby and spends his time thinking about strategy, marketing (writing copy!), and finance. Moons ago, Arpad worked for a tiny company called GE and a strategy consulting company known as the Boston Consulting Group, and went to a certain East Coast business school. Arpad traded Silicon Valley for Napa Valley, which he assures you is a good trade. He lives with his wife, his two little boys, their guinea pig "Fluffy", baby Kenyan Sand Boa "Sandy", and pet fish "Fireball" (previous fish Claribel, Andy, and Scampers: RIP).
