This wine is a true reflection of our passion for the noble Cabernet grape. Our 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark in color with complex aromas of black cherry, cassis, and dark chocolate. Rich and smooth on the palate, this Cabernet displays layered flavors of cherry, baking spices, black pepper, and sweet oak with a hint of chocolate.

Foxen Santa Maria Pinot Noir 2015

A very pretty and attractively fresh nose features essence of red cherry, raspberry and soft lavender notes. I like the sense of vibrancy to the nicely detailed flavors that terminate in a refreshing and dusty finish where a hint of bitter cherry appears. Delicious and gulpable in the best sense. Allen Meadows - Burghound (4/2018)

J. Lohr Hilltop Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Effusive blackberry and currant aromas are integrated with a bouquet of toasted hazelnut and cocoa powder from 18 months of French oak barrel age. Bright fruit on the mid-palate finishes clean and invigorates the appetite for an array of rich menu items. Food Pairing: Delicious with rosemary-seasoned ribeye, served with garlic roasted potatoes with parsnips and fennel.

The Florist Wines The Peony Pinot Noir 2016

Winemaker Notes, Jessica Boone: What I love most about “The Peony” is the juxtaposition of femininity on the nose, balanced with a broad depth of palate. The aromatics showcase red cherry, dried raspberry, and bottlebrush, while the palate brings layered elegant supple tannin boasting hints of baking cocoa, cedar, and cinnamon. This blend lingers on the palate, not with a heavy hand, but with elegance and velvety weight. This Pinot pairs beautifully with food, but also goes lovely with great friends and good conversation. 242 cases of this blend were made.

Zakin Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Notes from winemaker Philippe Melka : Opulent, vibrant, onctueux on the palate - this is the definition of pleasure. Drinking beautifully already with great integration of flavors of rich dark notes, coffee, nutmeg, sage and ripe raspberry - full of minerality and vibrancy so reminiscent of the site. This wine is more delicate and seductive than the previous vintages.

Albert Bichot Fixin Rouge 2015

Winemaker Notes : This red Fixin has a very attractive ruby red color. Delicate and discreet, the nose has subtle notes of woodland undergrowth. Fleshy and robust, this crisp and oaky wine has harmonious balance. The finish is persistent with light spicy notes. This wine can beautifully accompany braised beef, couscous and tajine dishes, game and roast pork with onions. Also great with a chicken and olive tajine, stewed boar cooked in red wine as well as strong mature cheeses such as époisses or munster.

Horsepower The Tribe 2015

The Wine Advocate 94-97 The 2015 Syrah The Tribe Vineyard is also gorgeous, with lots of gravely/mineral notes intermixed with pepper, beef broth, currants and spice. It’s slightly more structured and tense than the Sur Echalas Vineyard, but has a similar level of purity, precision and length. –Jeb Dunnuck

Rudd Oakville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Composed for ageability, harmony, finesse and longevity, the Rudd Oakville Estate Red is the pinnacle of what the Oakville Estate produces in each vintage.

Roar Rosella's Vineyard Syrah 2015

Winery Note: Our 2015 Rosella's Vineyard Syrah is a balanced expression of the brighter and darker elements that this vineyard has to offer. Deeper, darker fruit and lifted olive and violet on the nose evolve into cassis and dark cherry on the palate with earthy, meaty undertones, bright sandalwood and dense quince paste.

Peter Michael Cuvee Indigene 2014

Winemaker Notes : An intense and expressive nose of brioche, mineral, peach blossom, candied orange, mangosteen, lemon oil, yellow peach and dried apricot. Notes of vanilla, toasted hazelnut, meringue and subtle white truffle interact to complete a multi-layered and very intense bouquet. In the mouth, the texture is ample and creamy, displaying ample “gras” and balanced with a lingering mineral finish.

M. Chapoutier Les Vignes de Bila-Haut Cotes du Roussillon Blanc 2016

Tasting Note: Medium-intensity lemon in color, this wine has an aromatic nose of lemon and lime citrus zest, green apple, star fruit and honeysuckle. On the palate the dry, medium-bodied white blend is bright with some mid-palate complexity giving way to flavors suggested on the nose ultimately completing with a medium, citrus-zest-wrapped finish. There is balance between the fruit and medium acidity that is refreshing.

Peter Michael La Carrière Estate Chardonnay 2013

Winemaker Notes: Terroir-driven minerality remains the hallmark of this vineyard, with aromas of bakery, toasted almond, dry honey, white vine rose, jasmine, hazelnut and William pear. Accents of mandarin orange, honey and vanilla complete the elegant bouquet. Wonderfully concentrated and elegant on the palate, the wine is sculpted, rich, intense and creamy. Notes of citrus oil, white peach and lemon meringue frame the minerality. The minerality and bright acidity will allow it to age well for two decades, much like its Burgundian cousins from Puligny-Montrachet.

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2006

Produced only in exceptional vintage years and intended as the ultimate expression of the Taittinger style, this wine is composed entirely of Chardonnay grapes grown in the top vineyards of the prestigious Côte des Blancs. Only the first press juice is used. A small proportion (5%) of the blend spends three to four months in new oak barrels, enhancing the intrinsic qualities of the final blend. A powerful, refined, expressive and complex Champagne, with notes of citrus fruits, lime blossom and caramelized grapefruit. The long, rich ending reveals sweet licorice aromas. A perfect accompaniment to first courses such as seafood and shellfish.

Bedrock Wine Co. Old Vine Zinfandel 2016

Winemaker Notes : Bedrock Wine Company takes immense pride in the quality of this wine and wants to reflect how good California’s beloved Zinfandel can be. It is about 88% Zinfandel blended with Petite Sirah, Carignan, Alicante Bouschet and many different interplanted varieties that maintain poise and add complexity and structure. This has plenty of juiciness and should be delightful in the nearer term with a good decant; however, as many have discovered this wine will age gracefully and improve with time in bottle.

Talbott Kali Hart Vineyard Chardonnay 2016

Winemaker Notes: Kali Hart is Talbott's most fruit-forward expression of Sleepy Hollow Vineyard. In the winery, the grapes guide the way with minimal influence, resulting in a luscious, bright wine. Aromas of vanilla and brioche in the aroma lead to notes of mandarin, pineapple and melon contribute to an unctuous, inviting palate. Following the dense tropical fruit flavors, there is a soft, wonderfully clean finish with a touch of minerality and hard spice notes.

$14.99 $14.24

Wrath Fermata Chardonnay 2015

Winemakers notes: "Fermata" means halted in Italian and this wine is so named because we halt the secondary fermentation at its halfway point. This gives the wine richness but also preserves its acidity and energy. The Chardonnay from our Estate vineyard is consistently rich and luxurious. It owes its heightened concentration to our climate, complex soils and demanding farming practices. By halting the malolactic fermentation at 50%, our Fermata Chardonnay counterbalances this wine’s inherent richness with its own natural acidity. Our 2015 features powerful aromatics ranging from lemon and lime to toast and crème brûlée. The palate delivers viscosity, structure and minerals.

Turley Juvenile Zinfandel 2016

Winery Notes: Hailing from 24 vineyards in 12 different counties across our beautiful Golden State, the Turley Juvenile sets the standard for classic California Zinfandel. In 2016, we see the first touch of relief from the drought, evident in the more delicate notes of white pepper, floral fruits, and nearly a Burgundy-esque lift on the nose. The palate is a great deal more powerful than the nose would have you believe; resplendent with dark fruits, black pepper and savory smoked spices, topped off by smooth, well-integrated tannins. Rip it & sip it, it’s ready to drink!

Morgan Twelve Clones Pinot Noir 2016

Winemaker Notes: This special wine demonstrates the power and finesse of Pinot Noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands. It displays aromas of dark cherry, saddlewood, and sweet herbs. Flavors of wild cherry are complemented by notes of toasted oak and raspberry. Perfectly poised with fresh acidity, this wine is incredibly food-versatile. It is a wonderful accompaniment to roast chicken and grilled salmon, as well as almost any duck, beef or lamb preparation.

$28.99 $27.54

Carlisle Palisades Vineyard Petite Sirah 2016

Winery Note: Shimmering black-purple in the glass. Opaque. A beautiful nose of black raspberry and huckleberry complemented by notes of violets and black licorice. On the palate, medium-full bodied with flavors of blackberry and blueberry that linger through the long and gently tannic finish. Very civilized and polished, showing a more genteel side of the variety. (Petite Sirah in its youth can sometimes be a bit rough and surly.) Enjoyable now with a decant, this will age well. Drink from 2018 through 2034.

Big Table Farm Willamette Pinot Noir 2012

Winemaker Notes : #11 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2015 The use of whole cluster fermentation is the back bone of this wine. Lots of leather and oak spice on the nose. Black cherry, dried cranberry, and pomegranate, as well as cardamom and anise. Palm sugar, hay, clove and sandalwood on the palate. Very fresh and bright, approachable wine. Soft tannins, and high acid, make this a great food wine.

Duckhorn Napa Valley Merlot 2015

Winemaker Notes : Combining lovely structure and alluring appeal, this is a classic expression of Duckhorn Vineyards Merlot. Intense aromas of ripe cherry, plum and black fig rise from the glass, underscored by hints of leather and cedar. On the palate, it is lush and supple, with bright acidity and velvety tannins supporting layers of raspberry and black cherry, as well as hints of coffee and chocolate that carry through on the long finish. Blend: 88% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc

Bedrock Wine Co. Pagani Ranch Heritage 2016

Winery Notes: Always a crowd favorite, the 2016 Pagani is a dark and dense wine with many mysteries to tell over the coming years. A field-blend planted in the 1880s, our blocks at Pagani Ranch are 40-60% Zinfandel, the remainder being composed of Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet, Carignan, Mataro, Mission, Lenoir, Petit Bouschet, Semillon, Aramon and more. When looking at the great Sonoma Valley "Grand Cru" old vine sites we get to work with, Pagani plays the Charlie Munger to Bedrock Vineyard’s Warren Buffett- just as smart but perhaps a little more direct and immediately likeable. Drink 2019-2030

Sailor's Grave Wines Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Winery Notes: The 2015 Sailor’s Grave is Napa Valley Cabernet in its purest expression. Aromas leap out of the glass - tobacco, cassis, blueberries, and bright red cherry. The mouth is creamy and expansive, with layers of boysenberry, milk chocolate covered cherries, and Tahitian vanilla bean. The palate is truly finessed, with a lovely integration of French oak to the wine's structure and flavor. The sweet smoke of lightly charred oak lingers throughout the lengthy finish.

$23.99 $22.79

Albert Bichot Secret de Famille 2015

Winery Notes: Our Bourgogne Pinot Noir Secret de Famille ("Family Secret") is crafted from a carefully sourced blend of grapes from prestigious terroirs of the Côte de Nuits (around Chambolle-Musigny, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Gevrey-Chambertin, Marsannay…). We treat these wines as “villages” wines, where yields are restricted and ageing is adapted for each wine. This charming wine features predominant fruity aromas of blackcurrant and wild red berries. Velvety and silky, this wine boasts soft, balanced structure on the palate, which ends with a delicate finish reminiscent of red fruit.

Domaine Gachot Monot Côtes de Nuits - Villages 2016

Notes from Will Meinberg: Being a Burgundy lover on a budget is not always easy, but finding a producer you can trust makes the search much simpler. Damien Gachot has produced a wine that aims to please every Burgundy lover’s palate. Sourcing grapes from the village of Corgoloin in the southern end of the Côtes de Nuits, he presents a wine with the velvety character of the Côtes de Beaune while maintaining the structure and finesse of the Côtes de Nuits. From the soft fruit to the exotic spice, this bottle provides something for everyone.

Pont Neuf Pont Royal 2016

Winemaker Notes: This year’s PONT ROYAL chardonnay demonstrates all the classic characteristics of the Zio Tony Vineyard, honeyed, beeswax infused wine with lemon drop and citrus peel. It is accented with toasty brioche and pastry aromas as well as rich custard and passion fruit. The chardonnay has lingering flavors and rich body but is not too heavy on the palate. The fruit keeps moving and evolving in this young wine, holding our interest as it unfolds. 70 cases produced.

$54.99 $52.24

Pont Neuf Le Bruant 2015

Winemaker Notes: Pont Neuf is a New Bridge to the Old World. As a result of our training in Burgundy, we seek a connection between the classic wines from the heart of France and the wines of California. Our production remains limited since, like the Grand Cru vineyards of Burgundy, it is rare to find sites that express a sense of place and varietal precision. Pont Neuf distinguishes itself with finess, complexity and depth of flavor. With complex layers of aromas and flavors, we make wines that are precise, finely nuanced, savory and gracious at table. We make wines for the cellar that age gracefully, giving pleasure at every stage of their evolution.

$74.99 $71.24

Secret Cellars Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Winemaker Notes: Bright fruit aromas and a hint of sage. On the palate, ripe plum, black cherry and currant flavors mingle with dark chocolate. Tannins are rich yet supple leading to a lovely lingering finish.
