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 Is The Inaugural Vintage
~ As Rare As Rare Gets ~
Name your favorite winemaker, now place him/her making a wine from a vineyard you seek/covet or just have heard about. Andy Erickson ( in this wine's case ) has delivered perhaps one of his most uniquely composed wines I have ever tasted. The result is a wine comprised of all his wine ingenuity coupled with the beautiful fruit from the To Kalon vineyard.
Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar
Tasting Notes
A colossal wine, with a dense, layered core of black currant, blackberry and fig fruit paste flavors, steeped with sagebrush, tar, loam and tobacco accents. A bolt of warm cast iron runs through the finish, providing structure and support that should allow this to cruise for two decades in the cellar. A terrific combination of intense, modern, clearly defined fruit, with an old-school grounding in terroir.
About The Wine
To inspire his vision for Highest Beauty, map in hand, Andy Erickson tasted his way through 56 individually fermented blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon from To Kalon Vineyard. To connect flavor and texture with soil and sun, he then walked the blocks, fine tuning his selections. Along with being a winemaker, Andy is also a highly experienced, hands-on winery designer. Leaving no detail to chance, he helped build the fermenters used to craft this small-lot wine.
The 2016 Highest Beauty opens with delicious blackberry, cassis, and blackberry compote notes on the nose. The palate is a harmonious dance between dark, luxuriously juicy cherry and bright, balancing acidity supported by fine, strong tanning, all leading to a long, lingering finish.
Blend: 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1.5% Cabernet Franc, .5% Mixed Varietals
Boxed in a beautiful black case.

95 Points The Wine Advocate
A blend of 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Red Blend Right Bank Reserve comes sashaying out of the glass with the most gorgeous perfume of potpourri, Black Forest cake, forest floor, Ceylon tea and eucalyptus with a core of kirsch, plum preserves and spice cake plus a waft of unsmoked cigars.

The richly fruited, full-bodied palate has a lively skip in its step, featuring gorgeous ripe, velvety tannins and fantastic freshness to support all the spicy black fruit layers, finishing long and perfumed.

2018 ALEJANDRO BULGHERONI ESTATE
DR. CRANE VINEYARD
100 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Possibly the wine of the vintage, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Lithology Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is another incredible wine from this estate that has everything: stunning complexity, full-bodied richness, flawless balance, and incredible length. Revealing a dense purple color as well as Graves-like notes of blackcurrants, cold fireplace, graphite, chocolate, and smoked tobacco, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, flawless balance, and ultra-fine tannins. Based on 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc that was brought up 20 months in 70% new French oak, this thrilling 2018 offers pleasure today yet will evolve for 30-40+ years. Hats off to the team at Alejandro Bulgheroni!

PRINCE OF HEARTS
PARADISE HILLS
97 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Checking in as close to an even split of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with around 1% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2018 Prince Of Hearts Red offers a stunning, Bordeaux-like nose of red and black currants, new leather, lead pencil, graphite, and bouquet garni. With medium to full-bodied richness, a seamless, elegant texture, classy background oak, and a great finish, this head turner has plenty of richness, yet it's the balance, purity, and texture that keep you coming back to the glass. Bravo!

Lisa Perroti-Brown
Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon coming from Rutherford, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon g3 displays a deep garnet-purple color. It bursts from the glass with bombastic scents of crème de cassis, blueberry pie, Black Forest cake and mocha with hints of star anise, rose oil and woodsmoke plus a touch of lavender. Full-bodied, decadently fruited and super concentrated in the mouth, it features a lively backbone cutting through the dense black fruit layers with a velvety texture, leading to a beautiful floral lift on the long finish.

Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar
Jeb Dunnuck 100 Points
The flagship 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot brought up in 40% new French oak. With an essence of Cabernet-like character in its darker currants, green tobacco, cedar, graphite, and floral aromas and flavors, this gorgeous wine is full-bodied and has bright yet integrated acidity, polished tannins, and a great, great finish. It’s just gorgeously put together and a magical, flawless wine. It's going to take a decade to hit maturity but will evolve for 40-50 years in cold cellars. It is as good as it gets in classic, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon!
The Wine Advocate 99+ Points
Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Dominus slowly emerges from the glass with profound notes of blackcurrant cordial, ripe black plums, boysenberries and Black Forest cake with hints of violets, star anise, cracked black pepper, raspberry leaves and pencil lead, plus a touch of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers impactful black fruit layers, creating a beguiling sense of richness that is beautifully countered by invigorating freshness and great poise, framed by super ripe, plush tannins and beautiful tension, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note and, finally, lots of mineral sparks. For all that it is at the moment, one cannot help but feel that this 2018 is holding something back. Give it a good five years in bottle, at least, and then get set for what I suspect will be a mind-blowing transformation over the next 30 years+.

It's possibly closest in style to the Plyspline release and has incredible dark fruits (cassis, currants) as well as notes of graphite, toasted spice, chocolate, white flowers, and lead pencil shavings. A wine that builds incrementally on the palate, it has ripe, velvety tannins, an expansive texture, fabulous mid-palate depth, and the balance and class to drink well today yet also evolve for 20-30 years.

Jayson Woodbridge calls this a “21st Century Claret.” The blend is mainly Cabernet Sauvignon with a good dollop of Merlot and a dash of Petite Sirah. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Diplomat comes skipping out with bright notes of Morello cherries, mulberries, and black raspberries, over a profound core of warm cassis, hoisin and blackberry pie, with wafts of licorice and unsmoked cigars. The generous, full-bodied palate is soft and plush, featuring a powerful black fruit core with a lively backbone and loads of layers on the earthy finish.

Showcasing nearly 90-year-old vines, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Dreamer is made from around 92% Cabernet Sauvignon with a small proportion of unknown red varieties interplanted. Deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts with flamboyant notes of redcurrant preserves, cassis, dark chocolate, violets and red roses, plus fragrant hints of Indian spices and camphor, with a suggestion of iron ore. The medium to full-bodied palate is fabulously velvety, delivering beautiful freshness and loads of spicy layers, finishing very long.

Seductive spices fused with rose bud and forest floor greet the nose and ignite the palate with sophistication and grace. The 2018 Coliseum Block delivers a core of black cherry coupled with graphite, the lifting sensation made possible by the natural acidity provided by the majestic site. Projecting its hillside structure from the mid-palate to the signature long finish, this wine is a perfect example of a confident hillside Napa Cabernet. Youthful and seductive now, it will bring much reward to the patient collector.

100 Points The Wine Advocate
Sporting an opaque garnet-purple color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Kayli Morgan Vineyard needs a fair bit of coaxing to unlock fabulously evocative notions of pure cassis, ripe, juicy black plums and wild blueberries, plus suggestions of candied violets, cinnamon stick and fenugreek, with a touch of fallen leaves. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with poise and sophistication, shimmering with energetic black and blue fruit layers and a perfectly plush texture, finishing with a dazzling display of minerals and floral fireworks.

2018 Opus One
( 98 Points The Wine Advocate )
Very deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Opus One soars out of the glass with bright, bold boysenberries, warm cassis and ripe, juicy black plums notes, plus emerging nuances of lilacs, oolong tea, cinnamon stick, tilled soil and black truffles. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with tightly wound layers of crunchy black fruits, supported by firm, grainy tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing with lifted fruitiness and on a lingering mineral note.
During my recent visit to Opus One, I tasted five vintages of the "grand vin," including a barrel sample of the 2019, which will be published separately in a dedicated report.
Comparing the 2018 vintage with 2019, winemaker Michael Silacci commented, "There’s a little more richness to 2019. 2018 is elegant, and that's not an excuse for being lighter. I like the intensity of the 2018s—2019 is a bit above it. 2018 was cooler with a little bit more acidity."
Both vintages are a triumph at Opus One and a testament to the subtle changes that Silacci and his team have been conducting in the vineyards and winery over the last 15+ years. Bravo!

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.

2019 CORVUS PACIFICUM
Amphora-Aged Seawater Blend
AARON POTT'S TASTING NOTES:
On the Nose: Black cherry, crushed raspberry, strawberry jam, cedar, fresh tobacco, candied violets, toffee, plum, leather, latte.
On the Palate: Very rich fat attack, layered toffee, black cherry, plum with a wonderfully supple mid palate. The wine finishes with great length with cherry, strawberry, tobacco and plum.
Giving This Wine A 100 for bridging multiple senses at one time!....Carlos Falla
Inspired by the past, CORVUS PACIFICUM is an entirely new offering from Perliss Estate - a revival of an Ancient Roman recipe in which 1% seawater was blended into 99% wine. The objective for the Romans was probably two-fold - to both preserve the wine and to accentuate its taste, as salt does to food. The resulting amplification of flavor and structure is striking.
Seawater was harvested from the frigid currents of the Pacific Ocean at China Beach in San Francisco. The historic site - an isolated, bracingly cold and windy cove surrounded by rocky cliffs - served as an encampment for Chinese fisherman in the early days of the city’s history. The clear waters host a broad range of marine life, from crabs, mollusks and sea lions, to luxuriant kelp beds and cormorants. The blending wine is the 2019 PEARL of the RAVENS, our estate Cabernet Sauvignon that has been fermented and aged in terracotta amphorae, vessels similar to those employed by the Ancient Romans for their wine production.
We embarked on this maritime exploration out of pure curiosity and were delighted by the results. At the blending session, winemaker Aaron Pott found the trace of seawater added an aromatic boost, broadened the "wonderfully supple" mid-palate, and softened the wine. The final blend came in at just 0.66% seawater, but how that fraction of a percent changes the entirety of the wine is remarkable.
While Corvus is Latin for raven, Pacificum alludes to both the water’s source and to the serenity this wine will evoke when shared with good company.
We invite you to taste this unique and historical expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, made in extremely limited quantity - 25 cases produced.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon from our single, estate vineyard. Yields are kept down and organically farmed to achieve the best expression of the fruit. The grapes are hand-harvested and naturally fermented with the vineyard's indigenous yeast. It is bottled unfiltered and unfined.
The bottle features a wraparound label, connoting the endless flow of the sea. It was hand-dipped in beeswax and sea salt.

2019 DEBAUCHEE
Cabernet Sauvignon
96 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Coming from the Fairest Creature label and a more value-priced release (at least in the context of this range), the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is blended from the leftover lots from the Winemaker Series and blended by Michel Rolland. There are roughly 520 cases produced, and it's unquestionably worth checking out, offering full-bodied aromas and flavors of blackcurrants, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and spice. This plump, sexy, expansive beauty has ripe tannins, no hard edges, and is ideal for drinking over the coming 10-15 years.

2019 DOMINUS RED WINE
Another Perfect Vintage
"Lots of crushed stone, lead pencil and licorice aromas that are extremely aromatic and bright. Black cherries, cloves and purple fruit, too. Full body and a round and ripe center-palate with a juicy interior. It opens at the end with a savory and juicy finish. Layered and beautiful. Drinkable now, but better in three or four years." —James Suckling

2019 LA PELLE
ALLUVIUM VINEYARD
A true profile of known and powerful wines from the St. Helena AVA. Deep burgundy color with a nose of bursting black fruits, dark plums, mountain herbs, and warm spices. Full-bodied palate with ripe tannins and minerality. Well-structured with integrated acidity to support the mid-palate layers of dark fruits and mountain spices. A hint of toasted French oak sweetness and tons of graphite expression. Already an impressive wine in 2022 with complexity. Expected to cellar beautifully for 20+ years.

2019 MEMENTO MORI
98 Points The Wine advocate
Made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon opens somewhat reluctantly with cedar and baking spice scents, eventually giving way to a tantalizing core of Black Forest cake, blackcurrant cordial and candied violets with a waft of black raspberries. The tightly wound, medium to full-bodied palate is taut with ripe black fruits and a fine-grained textured, delivering loads of perfumed layers on the long finish. Stunning.

~ V Wine Lab
2019 PAS DE CHEVAL
Purple-black that fades to a crimson rim, deeply pigmented and staining the glass upon swirling. A volley of warm blackberries, Chambord, graphite, and a hint of cedar aromas add complex blueberry, sweet spice, pipe tobacco, dark chocolate, and espresso notes with a touch of air. Even before the first sip, it’s obvious this is a big wine. Power and energy pulse through the supple grip of the super-fine tannins, with a core so concentrated it seems to generate its own gravity.

2019 PAS DE CHEVAL
INTERMEZZO
Dense ruby-black with an electric amaranthine rim. Viscous and loaded with loganberry, black currant, and spearmint aromas that evolve slowly to reveal complex notes of licorice, cardamom, violet, and wild sage. On entry, the muscularity is immediately evident. Equal measures of perfectly ripe fruit and savory herbal flavors are bound by supple, tongue-coating tannins. Highly concentrated at its core, this is a robust and highly complex wine, seamlessly integrating notes of blackberry, cassis, licorice, tilled earth, mint, and herbes de Provence. The finish builds in a resonant crescendo of fruit, earth, and spice that commands rapt attention. It’s raw power cloaked in refinement, and it will only get better. Drink now–2049.

The 2019 The Bard is Flawless, a mastermind blend of vineyards and classic Bordeaux varietals!
Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar
97 Points From The Wine Advocate
A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the fruit for the 2019 The Bard fetches from Calistoga to Coombsville, including portions from illustrious vineyards such as Dr. Crane, Moonracer, Houyi and Larkmead.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose bursts with bold notions of blackcurrant pastilles, wild blueberries and chocolate-covered cherries, plus suggestions of violets, star anise and unsmoked cigars. The full-bodied palate is chock-full of bright, crunchy black and blue fruits, framed by very fine-grained tannins and beautiful freshness, finishing with lots of floral and exotic spice layers. This 2019 is particularly spectacular, drinking beautifully now and yet has the stuffing to cellar beautifully for 20 years+.

2019 SCARECROW
100 The Wine Advocate
Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2019 Scarecrow hits the ground running with bold expressions of crème de cassis, wild blueberries and chocolate-covered cherries plus hints of dried herbs, tilled soil and crushed rocks with a fragrant undercurrent of Indian spices. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with layer upon layer of tightly packed mineral-sparked black fruit flavors, framed by super plush tannins and absolutely seamless freshness, finishing long, long, long. This expression of the venerable J.J. Cohn vineyard—including vines planted in 1945 by John Daniel and dry farmed—is pure magic.
100 Jeb Dunnuck
Pure perfection from Napa Valley, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is, as always, all Cabernet Sauvignon from an incredible site in Rutherford that spent 21 months in 70% new French oak. Incredible aromatics of crème de cassis, darker currants, smoke, tobacco, and assorted floral notes all define the bulk of the bouquet, and it’s full-bodied, with a multi-dimensional, layered texture, ultra-fine tannins, and perfect balance. This is such a magical site, and this wine consistently checks in with the greatest wines of the world. It already offers pleasure yet should have 30 years of overall longevity. Hats off to winemaker Celia Welch and the team at Scarecrow.

BECKSTOFFER TO KALON
98-99 Points Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard CCS from the To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville is another heavenly wine in the lineup. I always find another level of purity in this cuvée, and the 2019 offers remarkably pure crème de cassis-like fruits as well as notes of white flowers, incense, toasted spice, and unsmoked tobacco. Full-bodied, deep, round, and plush on the palate, I love its tannins, it brings incredible richness while staying perfectly balanced and fresh, and it’s just already a joy to drink.

BECKSTOFFER TO KALON
98 Points The Wine Advocate
Opaque purple-black colored 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon RBS Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard needs a fair bit of swirling to unlock vibrant notes of dark chocolate-covered cherries, crème de cassis and blueberry preserves, plus suggestions of menthol, fertile loam, licorice and dusty soil. The full-bodied palate is rich and decadent, delivering velvety tannins and soft acidity with loads of spicy sparks coming through on the finish.
97 POINTS JEB DUNNUCK
Lots of violets, flowery incense, cassis, and spice notes emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard RBS, a full-bodied, silky, elegant 2019 that shines just as much for its purity and balance as its richness and depth. Possessing good acidity, a lively, vibrant mouthfeel, supple tannins, and a great finish, it has plenty of up-front appeal yet should easily evolve for a solid 20 years if properly stored.

T6 ( Clone 6 ) coming from the D2 block in Oakville's majestic To Kalon Vineyard displays its beyond ordinary high-end Cabernet Sauvignon qualities in 2019 like never before.
~ The V Wine Lab
99 Points Jeb Dunnuck
A big, muscular, powerful wine, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard T6 boasts a monster note of blackcurrants, fresh plums, scorched earth, tobacco, and chocolate. This all carries to a full-bodied 2019 with the ripe, savory, concentrated style of the vintage, building tannins, no shortage of fruit, and a great, great finish. It's certainly one of the biggest, richest, more structured wines in the lineup, yet the balance is spot on and everything is in the right places. It's going to take at least 7-8 years for this puppy to shed some of its considerable baby fat and hit maturity, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it evolve for 20 or 30 years.

CARTER CELLARS
99 POINTS JEB DUNNUCK
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Grand Daddy is just about as good as it gets, delivering a full-bodied, deep, rich, powerful style. Plenty of kirsch and ripe currant and blackberry fruits as well as textbook Oakville iron, black olive, and tobacco emerge on the nose, and it has a seamless mouthfeel, plenty of building tannins, and a heavenly finish. This pure, all-American, hedonistic yet balanced beauty could come from nowhere else. It has another 20-25 years of longevity.

2018 DOMINUS
100 Points Jeb Dunnuck
The flagship 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot brought up in 40% new French oak. With an essence of Cabernet-like character in its darker currants, green tobacco, cedar, graphite, and floral aromas and flavors, this gorgeous wine is full-bodied and has bright yet integrated acidity, polished tannins, and a great, great finish. It’s just gorgeously put together and a magical, flawless wine. It's going to take a decade to hit maturity but will evolve for 40-50 years in cold cellars. It is as good as it gets in classic, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon!
2016 DOMINUS
100 Points The Wine Advocate
A blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and 8% Cabernet Franc aged in 40% new oak, the 2016 Proprietary Red Wine is deep purple-black in color and quite reticent at this youthful stage to begin, offering up subtle notions of potpourri, Indian spices, cigar box and iron ore over a core of crushed blackberries and black cherries with intermittent wafts of black and red currants, new leather and smoked meats. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a densely packed mid-palate and oodles of freshness framed by very ripe, finely grained tannins and laced with compelling earthy accents. It offers incredible vibrancy with tons of black and red fruit sparkle in the mid-palate leading to a provocative mineral element on the very long finish. If I could give more than 100 for this one, I would. To be released in May 2019.

2019 PAS DE CHEVAL PRELUDE
100% Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville
Dense ruby-black with an electric amaranthine rim. Viscous and loaded with loganberry, black currant, and spearmint aromas that slowly reveal complex notes of licorice, cardamom, violet, and wild sage. On entry, the muscularity is immediately evident. Equal measures of perfectly ripe fruit and savory herbal flavors are bound by supple, tonguecoating tannins. Highly concentrated at its core, this is a robust and highly complex wine, seamlessly integrating notes of blackberry, cassis, licorice, tilled earth, mint, and herbes de Provence. The finish builds in a resonant crescendo of fruit, earth, and spice that commands rapt attention. It’s raw power cloaked in refinement, and it will only get better.
2019 PAS DE CHEVAL INTERMEZZO
100% Cabernet Sauvignon, Saint Helena
Deep, dense, viscous purple-black, with a vivid ruby rim and deep, staining tears. With a little air, the nose blossoms with aromas of baked blackberries, açaí berry, crème de cassis, crushed stones, cedar shavings, cocoa, and mint. The palate is mouth-filling and rich, loaded with vibrant red-berry fruit and ripe, perfectly integrated tannins. Although tightly packed and full-bodied, the wine’s balance leaves the impression of elegance and grace. Rippling with flavors of Black Forest cherries, blackberry, toast, vanilla, and subtle hints of tobacco, it is a clear standout that comes together for a beautifully harmonious, seemingly never-ending finish. Proof that truly great Cabernet need not choose between power and poise.
2019 PAS DE CHEVAL FINALE
100% Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain
Purple-black that fades to a crimson rim, deeply pigmented and staining the glass upon swirling. After a touch of air, a volley of warm blackberries, Chambord, graphite, and a hint of cedar aromas add complex blueberry, sweet spice, pipe tobacco, dark chocolate, and espresso notes. Even before the first sip, it’s obvious this is a big wine. Power and energy pulse through the supple grip of the super-fine tannins, with a core so concentrated it seems to generate its own gravity. Lush flavors of blackberry and pomegranate preserves form the weft for a tapestry of chocolate, tilled earth, toast, vanilla, star anise, five-spice, and crushed violets. Finishing with evolving patterns of ripe fruit, spice, and earth, it seems endless. A gorgeous expression of Howell Mountain muscularity and richness, but still defined by an overall sophistication and balance. There is so much packed into this wine, and it’s perfectly structured to improve for decades.
