It’s inky bluish/purple showing notes of incense, graphite, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, classic crème de cassis, earth and spice. The wine has enormous body, voluptuous texture and a finish that must last 50+ seconds. This is an amazing effort and by no means a wimpy wine -- This should drink well for 30+ years.

2016 Harlan Estate Red Wine

(not eligible for discounts)

$1,800.00

The quality of the 2016 Proprietary Red Wine shouldn’t surprise anyone. This estate rarely misses a beat, and in a great vintage like 2016, they’ve made a perfect wine. Sporting a deep purple hue as well as extraordinary notes of crème de cassis, blackcurrants, herbes de Provence, tobacco, graphite, and a who knows what else, this beauty hits the palate with a deep, powerful, full-bodied style that has enough structure to warrant a decade of cellaring. The purity is off the charts, it builds incrementally on the palate, and has a finish that won’t quit. Reminding me a little of the 2013, yet with a touch more elegance, do your best to hide bottles for at least 5-7 years and it’s going to keep for 30-40 years or more.

2016 RIDGE

MONTE BELLO

97 Points Jeb Dunnuck

72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, and the balance Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Monte Bello offers a more streamlined, elegant, and ultra-classic style compared to the 2014 and 2015, which are slightly bigger, richer wines. Boasting a deep purple color and beautiful purity in its crème de cassis, blueberry, white flowers, and vanilla bean, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, silky tannins, and perfect balance. It doesn’t have the sheer depth of fruit of some of the blockbuster years, yet makes up for it with its incredible purity, poise, and balance. Relatively approachable for a Monte Bello, it’s still going to see its 30th birthday in fine form.

Harvested all pre-fire, its deep purple/ruby color is followed by a great nose of both red and blue fruits as well as notes of candied orange, violets, bouquet garni, and herbes de Provence. It’s a beauty aromatically and hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. The 2017 Vintage was difficult for the valley, but you’d never know it by tasting this beauty. Enjoy bottles any time over the coming two decades.

Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar

V WINE EXCLUSIVE

The color of the wine is a beautiful dark purple at the core with a crimson rim. Immediate dark chocolate and coffee jump out of the glass, as well as blackcurrant puree and fresh blackberries. Underlying elements of eucalyptus, gravel and pepper spice complement the licorice and nutmeg spice. This is a very lush velvety wine on entry. The dark berry fruit is very pronounced, with other flavors of peppercorn and mocha. The sizeable tannins are in a chalky complex form that are matched by the acidity and demand cellaring. This beautiful and substantial wine will age amazingly over the next several decades!

Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar

2018 CATERWAUL

CEMETERY VINEYARD

After 5 years in the works, it’s nice to finally add this vineyard to the lineup. I was convinced there was no more great ground to be planted in Napa Valley until I saw this site with Matt in 2015. Having input on clonal material for every block further cemented interest in locking up all the fruit from this vineyard before it was even done with its first growing season. We made a little wine from here in 2017 but found it subpar for its own bottling. Waiting definitely feels wise now though as we begin cracking through our first few bottles of this inaugural release. The vintage complements this site well. The word that keeps coming to mind as I try this wine is amplitude. It’s so far above the Napa norm for Cabernet in color saturation, aromatic intensity and depth of flavor. There’s a great streak of minerality shooting through the whole experience that adds a sense of balance and restraint. The wine is pure black fruited showing notes of graphite, gunpowder, crushed rocks, violets and ripe blackberries. There is plenty of tannin here but it is perfectly ripe which helps to frame the finish without clipping it. It’s been a while since I’ve been this excited about rolling out a first vintage of anything but I certainly expect this bottling to achieve the same heights as several of the best client wines that have come before it.

Combining seven blocks of this rocky mountain side vineyard spread across a 1200 foot change in elevation, this Cabernet Sauvignon quickly reveals its power and focus. Dark chocolate, espresso, and cigar box all support a core of blueberry and black licorice. Aged in 100% new French oak for 22 months, this wine offers amazing texture and mouthfeel that unveil the hedonistic nature of this rugged vineyard site.

( Russell Bevan )

A barrel selection from four vineyard sites, this wine represents our philosophy that at times the sum can be better than the parts. A combination of Erba, Houyi, Tench, and Sugarloaf Mtn. vineyards – this wine seamlessly brings together Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petite Verdot. Aged for 22 months in 100% New French oak, this wine leaps from the glass with notes of black currant, butter brushed pastry crust, and graphite.

Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar

(( MAYAAN'S TASTING NOTES ))

A harmonious blend from our three single vineyard properties within the Napa Valley. A classic nose of crème de cassis, graphite, licorice, and espresso infusion. The wine is opaque and full-bodied, powerful with depth and texture. Brooding in nature with refined tannins, nuances of sweetness, cherries, ripe plums, and excellent acidity on the palate for a long, lush finish.

The composition is 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged in 80% new French oak barrels for 21 months. A genuine showcase of a remarkable growing season, creating a wine that is already enjoyable and will age for 20+ years.

97 Points JEB DUNNUCK

The flagship 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve comes from a blend of the Ceniza, Red Hen, and Alluvium vineyards and is 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It saw slightly more new oak, spending 21 months in 80% new barrels. A classic Napa Valley nose of crème de cassis, toasted spice, graphite, unsmoked tobacco, and chocolate gives way to a full-bodied 2018 offering gorgeous purity of fruit, ripe, velvety tannins, a great mid-palate, and a finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. This is another magical wine from this estate that has plenty of upfront appeal yet is going to evolve gracefully for two decades or more.

Always a great value, the 2018 California Red Wine is a Bordeaux blend put together by Andy Erickson. The wine reveals a ruby/purple hue as well as complex notes of red and black fruits, green tobacco, cedary spice, and spring flowers. These all flow to a medium to full-bodied, elegant wine that offers good overall concentration, seamless tannins, and a great finish. Very much in the style of the 2018 vintage with its more streamlined, elegant style, it’s going to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age (although it’s far from unapproachable today) and keep for a solid 10-12 years or more. This is one of the more age-worthy examples of this cuvée that I recall.

The 2018 continues to simmer into the darkness that only Bevan could bring to life with a hedonistic deep purple/plum-hue, a monstrous bouquet of black cherries, chocolate covered blueberries, baking spices, mocha, iron, and licorice, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a dense, powerful mid-palate, sweet tannins, and a seriously long finish.

2018 PERUS BRYN

PROPRIETARY RED WINE

97 Points Jeb Dunnuck

I was blown away by the 2018 Bryn, only the second vintage I’ve been able to taste. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, it’s a more plush, sexy wine, especially in the vintage, with full-bodied aromas and flavors of chocolaty dark fruits, tobacco leaf, earth, and spice. With a great mid-palate, building richness, and velvety tannins, it holds onto the pure, seamless style of the vintage. It’s well worth seeking out and is going to cruise in cold cellars for 15+ years.

Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar

2018 Realm Cellars Farella Vineyard

97 Points The Wine Advocate

Realm took over the management of the Farella vineyard from 2018 with a view to eventually assume possession of the property. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard is their first "Estate" wine from the vineyard. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes bounding out of the glass with youthful notes of fresh black plums, Morello cherries, ripe blackcurrants and Black Forest cake plus hints of cumin seed, damp earth and spice box with subtle hints of tobacco and new leather. Medium to full-bodied, it has a solid foundation of fir, grainy tannins and lovely freshness supporting the bright, crunchy fruit, finishing long with a provocative, lifted perfume. Note that no 2017 Farella Vineyard was made.

2018 Realm Cellars Houyi Vineyard

96+ Points The Wine Advocate

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Houyi Vineyard Pritchard Hill is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Nine Suns property. Opaque purple-black in color, it leaps from the glass with exuberant scents of warm cassis, black cherries and boysenberries plus hints of cloves, mocha, lilacs and bay leaves. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers striking purity with well-defined blackcurrant and cherry flavors accented by floral and exotic spice notes. It has a solid foundation of firm, fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, delivering a long, mineral-laced finish. Hold onto this one for a good 3-5 years and then enjoy it over the next 25 years or more.

2018 Realm Cellars To Kalon Vineyard

98+ Points The Wine Advocate

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, coming from five different blocks, and was harvested "in multiple picks, at a leisurely pace." Deep garnet-purple colored, it rolls sensuously out of the glass with decadent scents of boysenberries, black cherries, redcurrant jelly and blackcurrant pastilles with hints of bouquet garni, black soil and iron ore. Full-bodied, the taut, tightly knit black and red fruit has a firm structure of ripe, grainy tannins and bags of freshness, finishing very long with loads of earth and mineral nuances coming through.

2018 Realm • The Bard

98 Points Jeb Dunnuck

The 2018 The Bard is beautiful and certainly in the same realm as the 2015 and 2016, both magical wines. This cuvée reveals a deep purple color followed by a beautiful perfume of crème de cassis, blackberries, roasted coffee, spring flowers, and violets. With incredible richness, no hard edges, and a blockbuster finish, this incredible wine offers serious opulence with no sensation of heaviness or weight. It's beautifully done and already complex and nuanced. It will evolve for at least 15+ years. The blend is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, and 2% each of Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah.

2018 Reflectionist Cabernet Sauvignon

(not eligible for discounts)

$140.00

We tasted this new Atelier Melka production early in March with 1/2 The Dynamic Duo of Melka & koschitzky. Mayaan said he had a nice surprise, did he ever. This wine was delicious, expressive, seductive and with all that ~ a great value!

(( The best thing about this project is that proceeds go to Napa Valley charities, what's not to love ))

Based On Everything I've Tasted From 2018 We Give This Wine

A High 90s Score!

Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar

2018 REFLECTIONIST

Cabernet Sauvignon

This wine has the seduction and purity reminiscent of a great left bank Bordeaux vintage. Sourcing from three distinct sites, the wine displays the diversity of soils from some of Napa’s most iconic locations. Aromas of Asian spices, vanilla bean and savory undertones lead to a cascade of flavors such as mocha, blackberries. The mouthfeel is plush and dense with a deeply textured fullness. The tannins are firm, but over time in the glass, give way to an interwoven polish. The balance is exquisite, providing a sense of instant pleasure with a refined persistence in the finish.

This 2018 was aged in the French tradition for 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels and was bottled in June 2020.

2018 Royal Prince Cabernet Sauvignon

(not eligible for discounts)

$45.00

It's Done.

Unanimous!

As declared by Forbes Magazine, The Robb Report & V Wine Cellar!

These are the best value driven wines being created by

Maayan Koschitzky & David Green. Both Gentleman are well versed in the art of what it takes!

Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar

A seamless, opulent densely textured wine that is at once extravagant and racy in its precision and tension. The 2018 Royal Prince is dark and deep, packed with decadent opaque sensation of flavors. It shows aromas of truffle, black cherry and licorice.

The wine fills the palate with an amazing energy, leading to a deeply textured mouthfeel, and culminating with fine-grained tannins and an exceptionally long, lifted finishing sensation.

Robb Report Published November 9th, 2020

"This is not a “second label,” a lineup of entry-level wines that have been declassified from top bottlings and produced to be cheery and cheap and meant to be drunk after that famous interval of aging—the time it takes to get them home from the supermarket."

2018 SCARECROW M. ETAIN ORIGINAL SET

(not eligible for discounts)

$650.00

I opened a bottle as soon as I picked up my allocation as I do at least a couple times a year. I mentioned to a dear friend...Humm I expected better for a 2018 from the winery. Never judge a wine too quickly, on day 2 its was signing songs of Rutherford greatness!

Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar

2018 M. ETAIN

Cabernet Sauvignon

97 Points Jeb Dunnuck

The 2018 M. Étain is another gem of a wine, and while it’s billed as a second wine of Scarecrow, it has a style all its own. The 2018 is reminiscent of a great Saint-Julien, with its purity and elegance paired with textbook Cabernet notes of crème de cassis, crushed violets, earth, and liquid rock-like minerality. It’s just as gorgeous on the palate and has a full-bodied, seamless, ultra-pure texture, ripe yet present tannins, and a great finish. As with the Grand Vin, it offers pleasure today but is going to be better with 3-5 years of bottle age. You can’t go wrong with either of these releases from Scarecrow, and this is another brilliant release from winemaker Celia Welch.

2018 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon

(not eligible for discounts)

$1,000.00

Only a few brands have achieved the success that Scarecrow wines continue to build upon. It takes a lot of pieces to fall into place, yet the most important aspect of the equation is continued quality in production.

2018 SCARECROW

100 POINTS JEB DUNNUCK

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet-purple in color, rolling reluctantly out of the glass with tar and earthy notes to begin, giving way to compelling notions of baked plums, warm cassis and wild blueberries plus wafts of dried sage and tilled earth. Full-bodied, the palate has a rock-solid structure of grainy tannins supporting the muscular, crunchy black fruits, finishing long and lively.

2018 SCHRADER LAS PIEDRAS

2018 Schrader Beckstoffer

Las Piedras Vineyard

99 Points Jeb Dunnuck

I loved the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard LPV. This vineyard, which is just a stone’s throw from Dr. Crane, has yielded an incredibly complex, full-bodied, exotic style as well as a kaleidoscope of blue fruits, spring flowers, bay leaf, and dried tobacco. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aging in 100% new Darnajou and Taransaud barrels, it has a surprising amount of structure hiding under its fruit and it’s going to be a magical, long-lived wine.

2013 LEVENSOHN VINEYARD

94+ Points Robert Parker

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon from their vineyard in St. Helena is a slightly richer, broader and more profoundly deep style of Cabernet Sauvignon than the 2012 with a nearly opaque ruby/purple color, with sweet black cherry and blackcurrant fruit in the intense and persistent aromatics. Full-bodied with the same alcohol as the 2012 (14.8%), the wine cuts a broad swath across the palate without any sense of heaviness. Pure and ripe but still youthful and relatively unevolved, this should be cellared for another 3-5 years and drink over the following two decades.

2014 LEVENSOHN VINEYARDS

94 Points Robert Parker

This blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot is deep, rich, concentrated and authoritative. Dense ruby/purple-colored, with crème de cassis and blacker fruits, some licorice and incense, it is full-bodied, beautifully pure, with sweet tannin and a long, layered finish. This is high-brow, impressive Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the next 15-20 years.

2015 LEVENSOHN VINEYARDS

95 Points Lisa P Brown

Containing a 5% splash of Merlot and aged 19 months in French oak (80% new), the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep garnet-purple color with vibrant notions of red and black currants, violets, blackberries and black cherries, plus a cinnamon toast and pencil shavings undercurrent. Medium to full-bodied, lively and purely fruited on the palate, it has a firm, grainy backbone and long finish of spicy layers.

2016 LEVENSOHN VINEYARDS

97 Points Jeb Dunnuck

Winemaker Benoit Touquette compares the 2016 vintage to 2014 with its purity and balance. The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon shows the fresher style of the vintage beautifully and offers up a complex array of crème de cassis, blueberries, crushed rocks, violets, and lead pencil shaving-like notes. This full-bodied beauty has awesome purity of fruit, a seamless texture, perfect balance, and a great, great finish. Give bottles another 2-4 years, and it’s going to evolve gracefully for 20 years or more. It’s pure class.

SCHRADER CELLARS

7 BOTTLE PARCEL PICK

( One Bottle Of Each )

GIII 97 Points JD

Yields at Schrader are down a massive 50%, yet what they put in bottle is certainly brilliant. Starting with their 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard, it’s one of the plusher, more rounded, sexy wines in the lineup and is loaded with cassis and assorted blue fruits as well as notes of white flowers, violets, and tobacco. Full-bodied, concentrated, and opulent on the palate, it’s one big mouthful of pleasure bent fruit that’s hard to match in the vintage. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 20 months in 90% new oak, it’s going to put a smile on everyone’s face any time over the coming 20 years or so.

LPV 97+ Points JD

There are two releases from the Las Piedras Vineyard just outside of St. Helena, the LPV and the Colesworthy. The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard LPV is a slightly larger production cuvée and has terrific, complex notes of blueberries, bay leaf, blood orange, and liquid violets. I always find a floral note from this vineyard, and it’s certainly present here. Deep, powerful, and opulent on the palate, it has terrific tannins, no hard edges, and a beautiful finish. I love it even today, yet I suspect it will develop even more complexity with 3-4 years of bottle age and keep for two decades.

CCS 98 Points JD

Another wine in the running for the wine of the vintage is the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard CCS, which, as always, is all Cabernet aged in new Darnajou barrels. This full-bodied, magical 2017 has incredibly polished, silky tannins as well as a mammoth-sized texture and mouthfeel. Loaded with notions of blueberries, white flowers, graphite, candied violets, and incense, it’s one of those wines that carries incredible richness and depth yet never seems heavy or cumbersome. The 2017 doesn’t get much better, and this beauty can be drunk today or cellared for two decades.

RBS 96 Points JD

More black fruits, tobacco, chocolate, and earthy notes emerge from the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard RBS, but it’s a similarly textured, sexy, opulent wine on the palate. All Cabernet aged 20 months in 95% new French oak, this full-bodied, concentrated 2017 has terrific tannins, a balanced, layered mouthfeel, and a great finish. It too is destined for 15-20 years of prime drinking.

TO KALON 96+ Points JD

Also known as the Schrader Schrader, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Schrader offers a more black-fruited, chocolate, and mineral-laced profile as well as full-bodied richness, a dense, powerful mid-palate, and building tannins. As I wrote last year, it’s one of the biggest, baddest wines in the lineup. I wouldn’t open bottles for a good 4-5 years, yet it should be long-lived.

T6 98 Points JD

In the top handful of wines in the vintage, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard T6 is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon (which was harvested the morning of the fires) that spent 20 months in 92% new French oak. This is a powerhouse of a wine that’s loaded with fruit and richness, yet it still just glides across the palate with no sensation of weight or heaviness. Dense purple-hued, with lots of chocolaty black and blue fruits, incense, and spice as well as unsmoked tobacco, give bottles 3-4 years of bottle age and enjoy over the following two decades

MB 94 Points JD

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Vineyard Monastery Block is always terrific, yet I always find it more linear and foursquare compared to some of the other releases in the lineup. Nevertheless, it offers a terrific bouquet of gravelly earth, ground herbs, chocolaty dark fruits, and some obvious minerality. This full-bodied Cabernet is going to benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for 15-20 plus.
