2012 CRISTAL ROSE
98 Points The Wine Advocate
The 2012 Cristal Rosé is showing brilliantly, unwinding in the glass with a beautiful bouquet of fresh peach, bergamot, strawberries, tangerine and blanched almonds that's still quite reserved. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and strikingly complete, its vinous attack segueing into a multidimensional core that exemplifies the ideal of power without weight, built around a racy but integrated spine of animating acidity and complemented by an exquisitely refined mousse. All the concentration of the 2012 vintage is on display, but it's rendered with terrific finesse. Decidedly youthful and introverted—indeed, I spent several hours with a bottle to compose this note—the 2012 will really come into its own with five or six years in the cellar and displays all the attributes necessary for considerable longevity. It's a blend of 56% Pinot Noir and 44% Chardonnay that saw no malolactic fermentation, and it was disgorged with eight grams per liter dosage.

2013 Del Dotto Vineyards
Oakville, Cabernet Sauvignon
Robert M. Parker, Jr's Thoughts On The 100 Point Beast!
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 Domenico Clerico
Barbera- Trevigne DOCG
92 Points - James Suckling:
"This is very lively and delicious with dark fruit, orange peel and a hint of chocolate. Medium to full body, tangy acidity and a flavorful finish."
91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"This was an easy growing season for Barbera in general, and the additional time in wood (80% in tonneaux and 20% in barrique) for the 2016 Barbera d'Alba Trevigne has beautifully intensified this wine. Bold cherry and blue notes of dried forest berry appear on the nose along with pleasant spice and tobacco. Compared to this estate's 2015 Barbera, this vintage shows deeper aromas, with less acidity on the tongue and more ripeness and fruitiness to fill the palate. Try it with the Piedmont favorite of agnolotti and meat roast sauce."
2016 Abreu Las Posadas ( 3 Bottle Set )
(not eligible for discounts)
$1,950.00
Galactic scores go hand in hand with the ABREU production of wines. Winemaking style that has been producing greatness consistently coupled with second to none farming practices yield perfection!
Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar
98+ Points Jeb Dunnuck
The 2016 Las Posadas comes from a higher elevation site on Howell Mountain and has an undeniable mountain fruit structure as well as intensity. Stunning notes of pure crème de cassis, hot asphalt, bay leaf, black olives, and a touch of beef blood all emerge from this big, rich, full-bodied powerhouse. It’s loaded with potential, has huge tannins, a mountain of fruit, and a great, great finish. It’s almost impenetrable, though, and needs a solid 7-8 years or more of cellaring.

2016 BOARS' VIEW PINOT NOIR
94 Points Jeb Dunnuck
The 2016 Pinot Noir The Coast is drinking beautifully today and offers a complex bouquet of mint laced black cherries, clove, and cinnamon as well as some classic California conifer tree notes. Medium to full-bodied, with outstanding purity of fruit and great balance, drink it over the coming 7-8 years or so.

Some Say The 2016 Vintage Is “the second coming of Bordeaux”
Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar
The Wine Advocate 98+ Points
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Pontet-Canet hits the ground running with a hedonic nose of Black Forest cake, crème de cassis and blueberry pie plus suggestions of candied violets, hoisin, chocolate mint, charcuteries and forest floor with a waft of star anise. Full-bodied, rich, profoundly layered and powerfully fruited, the palate is built like a brick house, with very firm, super ripe, grainy tannins and harmonious freshness, finishing with incredible length and depth. Still incredibly primary and yet already strutting so many layers, I wouldn't be at all surprised if this warrants the three-digit score in a few years' time.
2016 Dominus Estate
(not eligible for discounts)
$550.00
Oh Dominus, I do love greatness! We just secured a pristine supply of 100 Point Dominus Estate. If there is a Napa Valley wine that will go 30+ years and shine in the future, this is most definitely it!
Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar Wine Lab
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.
VINTAGE SUMMARY FROM THE WINERY
Rainy days were spread out evenly over the course of a warmer than average winter (November to March: 31.2 inches total, 11.2 inches in March). With soil reserves full, vines grew quickly with dense canopies. Bloom and veraison unfolded in warm and dry conditions and one heat spike of 103F was recorded on July 26th. Ripening slowed down in August because of cooler temperatures and late morning fog. Fruit zone de-leafing and higher temperatures in September (99.2F on the 18th, 100.8F on the 25th, 100F on the 26th) helped fruit to ripen consistently.

94 Point The Wine Advocate
( One Awesome Monastrell )
The 2016 Estrecho is produced with a very soft vinification in 2,000-liter oak vats and new barriques. It was bottled after 15 months in oak. This is a powerful vintage; the wine has clout, power and concentration and a little more rusticity (the textbook tree bark!) than the 2017 that I tasted together with this one. There are some dusty tannins and an earthy, chalky sensation on the palate.

Its inky purple color is followed by an incredible bouquet of crème de cassis, forest floor, blueberries, huge minerality, full-bodied richness, and an elegant, oh so fine and silky texture that carries masses of fine-grained tannin.

Cabernet Sauvignon ~ Mt. Veeder
95 Points The Wine Advocate
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder is composed of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3.5% Merlot, 1.5% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep purple-black, it sings of warm blackberries, cassis and wild blueberries with hints of violets, dark chocolate, cigar box and menthol. Full-bodied and laden with black and blue fruit, it has a firm structure of grainy tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long.

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.

This meaty, bloody effort has loads of spiced plum and darker fruit character as well as notes of iron, beef blood, spice, and peppery herbs. Full-bodied and gorgeously textured, with good acidity and ripe tannins, it's going to benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and keep for 20 years as well.

"juicy and delicious," which sums up this red perfectly. It never seems to last very long in our glasses, pouring a vibrant ruby that leads to a purple core. Aromatically, we were entranced by its blend of purple flowers, juicy black cherry, and red currant, all leading to a succulent palate that emphasizes red plums, rich cherries, and pomegranates, wrapped up with just a hint of spice.

Incorporating 3% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful, deep, inky wine that offers lots of minerality as well as chocolatey black fruits, scorched earth, graphite, and tobacco aromas and flavors. This rich, masculine styled effort is full-bodied, has a stacked mid-palate, big tannins, and a great finish. This mountain fruit-like red needs 4-5 years of bottle age but will age gracefully.

MOUNT VEEDER
97 Points Jeb Dunnuck
There are a scant 200 cases of the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder, which is 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Malbec, all brought up in 80% new French oak. 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.

The days when Merlot wines topped the charts may seem to have passed, yet it only takes one to remind us of the refinement Bordeaux varietals can achieve in the vast unexplored soils of the Napa Valley.

KINGS ROW
( Read To Understand The Profile Of This Great Wine )
Kings Row remains an expression of the Aurora Vineyard which is located in a small valley midway up Diamond Mountain on a large knoll at an elevation of 1,200 feet. The knoll projects off the mountainside, giving the vineyard full Southern exposure and open light from the East and West and protection from Napa Valley's summer fog. Six acres of the vineyard are planted in the knoll's rich, volcanic soils that are riddled with basalt cobble in a loamy red clay. The remaining six acres are planted in a deep gravely mix of white volcanic ash and chips of decomposed Rhyolite that were washed down from the steep, rocky crags of Diamond Mountain above. This 2017 blend of Checkerboard Kings Row is deliciously aromatic. The nose is fresh, with hints of sweet and juicy fruits that are augmented by dark roast coffee. On the palate, the fruits swirl together with baking spices, green olive and graphite in a wine soft on tannins but long on finish.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain offers a slightly darker, earthier profile that carries beautiful black and blue fruits, charcoal, bouquet garni, and some obvious minerality as well as a whiff of espresso. It's rich, full-bodied, concentrated, and beautifully done. Drink it over the coming two decades. Based on 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% each of Merlot and Malbec, and the rest a mix of varieties, it spent 21 months in 80% new French oak.

Godello: One of the oldest varieties of the Iberian Peninsula, Godello is a white grape indigenous to Galicia and highly regarded for its delicate texture and medium-high acidity. An early-ripened variety, it thrives in dry sites and well-drained soils, and is characterized by its small-sized berries and closely packed bunches. It is recognized for making age-worthy wines.
(( Tasting Note ))
92 Points The Wine Advocate
Enticing aromas of blackberry and fresh thyme mingle with hints of rose petal, cardamom, and sumac. Juicy forest fruits and black cherry on the palate are complemented by spice and floral notes, with a slate-like minerality, fresh acidity, and well balanced tannins. The wine develops nicely in the glass, with the aromatics becoming more complex, with honeyed undertones, aromas of dried apricots and a lanolin-like waxy note, with subtle minerality on the palate.

2018 ARGOT Sugarloaf
Napa Valley
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Sugarloaf Vineyard displays a rich, darker purple color as well as solid notes of ripe black fruits, dark chocolate, cedarwood, graphite, and leafy herbs and tobacco. It’s nicely balanced, full-bodied, has a wonderful sense of purity, and a great finish. It’s a classic 2018 with it pure, focused, age-worthy style. I’d give bottles 3-5 years of bottle age, and it should evolve for 20+ years or more. It’s impressive and probably the finest version of this cuvée I’ve tasted from the estate, surpassing even the 2015 and 2016.

2018 BASTARD TONGUE
PINOT NOIR
WINEMAKER NOTES
For Bastard Tongue‘s 8th incarnation, Mother Nature delivered a stellar Pinot Noir growing season. The 2018 vintage was long, on the moderate side of warm, and lacked any disruptive weather events (heat or rain). This scenario allowed our vines the perfect ripening opportunity.
What arrives in the glass is a BT of unprecedented charm, that retains all the impressive fruit and impact fans of this bottling have come to cherish. A beguiling wine, that is somehow both exquisitely elegant and intensely powerful in each swirl, sniff and sip.
Bastard Tongue‘s unbroken string of success has created expectations we relish, and are continually motivated to exceed. This is a pinnacle Sonoma County Pinot Noir, nearly two years in the making, that we could not be more excited to finally share with you.

2018 BRILLIANT MISTAKE
96 Points The Wine Advocate
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 Dalla Valle Collina

Always a red blend, the 2018 Collina is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Petit Verdot. This cuvée is always made in a more up-front, fresh, drinkable style compared to the Cabernet Sauvignon and Maya. Rich, mouth-coating currant, dark chocolate, dried herb, and graphite notes all emerge from this beauty, which is full-bodied and has a ripe, sexy texture, great tannins, and just an undeniably delicious style.

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!

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+.

2018 ELYSE
Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
With Cabernet fruit spanning three Napa appellations and four vineyards, including our own home estate, comes our second bottling of this wine. A medium bodied dry wine with gorgeous notes of rich black cherry, cola and savory roasted sage sprig. A concentrated mouthfeel gives way to firm, yet elegant tannins that linger long enough to let you know they aint quitters!

Very elegant and appealing fruit aromas beam from your glass. This wine has beautiful dark red cherry notes, along with ripe, red berry flavors. Cassis, licorice, and vanilla notes are well integrated into the fruit components. The silky, soft tannins confirm the harmonious balance between alcohol and tannin — creating an overall perfect balance in this wine.

WINEMAKER’S NOTE
( Russell Bevan )
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. While this wine has the structure to age for decades, its polished tannins allow for it to be enjoyed in its youth.

2018 LEVIATHAN RED WINE
94 Points Jeb Dunnuck
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 outstanding 2018 Reserve Cabernet is a full-throttle, packed with a dense core of fruit yet balanced with a fine-tuned chassis. Showy and complex, the wine is obsidian dark, layered with black currant, berries, coffee and sweet oak spices. Fleshy on entry, the palate soars with brazen youth in a firmly framed structure that tails away with chocolaty fine-grained tannins.

Made by Celia Welch and 100% Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon sports a dense purple hue to go with a gorgeous, full-bodied, incredibly elegant wine carrying classic cassis fruits as well as notes of damp earth, violets, tobacco leaf, and graphite. With beautiful mid-palate depth, no hard edges, and flawless balance, it reminds me of the 2016 and will evolve for 20-25 years.

2018 MEMENTO MORI
Cabernet Sauvignon
99 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Just about pure perfection in a glass, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as 100% varietal sourced from top sites including Dr. Crane, Las Piedras, Weitz, Oakville Ranch, and Vine Hill. This deep purple/blue-hued beauty boasts a stunning bouquet of pure crème de cassis and blackberry fruits as well as complex forest floor, graphite, chocolate, and spicy oak. Full-bodied, rich, sexy, yet incredibly elegant and seamless on the palate, this is pure Napa Valley magic that has appeal even today yet the class to evolve for 30 years in cold cellars.
98 Points The Wine Advocate
Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of each of the single-vineyard wine sites (Dr. Crane, Las Piedras and Vine Hill Ranch), plus fruit from Oakville Ranch and Weitz vineyards. It was aged for 22 months in French oak, 100% new. Deep garnet-purple in color, it charges out of the gate with energetic scents of warm cassis, blackberry pie, boysenberries and wild blueberries plus hints of mocha, black truffles, fertile loam and lavender, with a waft of Chinese five spice. Full-bodied, rich, concentrated and decadent with a velvety texture and fantastic freshness, it finishes long and layered.

Full-bodied, the palate has an approachable structure of finely grained tannins and bold freshness supporting the tightly knit black fruits, finishing with a spicy kick.

Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar
PERUS' flagship wine, the Tench Vineyard Armaan Cabernet Sauvignon continues to be the most concentrated and opulent production in the Russell Bevan made lineup.
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 REALM THE ABSURD
100 Points Jeb Dunnuck
As always, the 2018 Absurd is a cellar selection of what the estate thinks is the absolute best they can do in the vintage, and in this reviewer’s opinion, they succeed brilliantly. (I’ve rated four of the five vintages I’ve tasted 100 points.) The 2018 reveals a dense purple/blue color to go with a monster bouquet of blackcurrants, scorched earth/burning embers, tobacco, lead pencil shavings, chocolate, and gravelly earth. I’ve often compared this wine to a great Pessac from Bordeaux given its incredible minerality and cold fireplace-like nuances, and the 2018 has these in spades. Concentrated, full-bodied, and built like a skyscraper, it builds beautifully with time in the glass and has incredible purity, silky, polished tannins, and a dense, layered mid-palate. As with the majority of Realm’s 2018s, the cellar is going to be your friend, since this needs a good 5-7 years of bottle age, but it will be incredibly long-lived. Hats off to winemaker Benoit Touquette and the entire team at Realm for yet another magical, legendary wine.

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.

(( 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.

Tench Vineyard, Oakville
From a site just beside Screaming Eagle, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard sports a dense purple/plum color to go with classic Tench notes of red and black currants, Asian spices, iron, sandalwood, and Christmas spice. These carry to a full-bodied Cabernet with plenty of mid-palate richness, lots of spicy nuances, building tannins, and a great, great finish. A sweetly fruited, sexy 2018. it has plenty of up-front appeal yet more than enough structure to evolve for 25+ years.

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.

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.

(( INSIGHT FROM THE WINERY ))
Over the past several months the team at Bevan Cellars has been tasting many of our Pinot Noirs from 2012 and 2013, and we are always caught off guard by how age-worthy they are. Just like its older siblings, our 2019 Petaluma Gap Pinot Noir is a wine that will live for years and years. As you might expect from a wine that is 50% from the Calera clone, this wine has a fabulous savory quality. The yin to the Calera’s yang is the Swan clone, which makes up the other half of this wine and provides a beautiful floral and cherry aromatic profile to complement the extreme focus of the Calera. It has amazing weight and a color that speaks to the vineyard’s rocky soils and high elevation. This wine will have an evolution that will be amazing to follow.

Surely one of the great values in the vintage, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley just about jumps out of the glass with its fruit-forward, undeniably delicious style that could be drunk today.

The 2020 Tablas Creek Vineyard Vermentino is Tablas Creek’s neinteenth bottling of this traditional Mediterranean varietal, known principally in Sardinia, Corsica, and Northern Italy. It is also grown in the Rhone Valley (particularly Côtes de Provence) where it is known as Rolle. The Vermentino grape produces wines that are bright, clean, and crisp, with distinctive citrus character, refreshing acidity and surprising richness.
