2008 La Grande Dame
(not eligible for discounts)
$225.00
2008
REACHED BRILLIANCE
Exhibiting aromas of pear, toasted brad, confit citrus and smoke, the 2008 Brut La Grande Dame is full-bodied, rich and textural, with a deep and layered core, ripe but racy acids and a saline finish. A blend dominated by fully 92% Pinot Noir, this is true to the cuvée's rich and muscular style, but the vintage lends it welcome additional cut and precision. It's showing a lot better than the bottles I tasted in the United States last year.

MASTERFULLY MADE
375ml Version
In a week where we have enjoyed many wine regions seemingly all at once, it's always fun to bring it back full circle. Dominus' presence here in the Yountville AVA continues influence the stylistic expression of wines in California.
This 2011 is a true classic.
~ V Wine Lab
The Wine Advocate Proclaims Success
This is an elegant Dominus with good opulence, a deep plum/garnet color, and notes of tobacco leaf, forest floor, underbrush, red and blackcurrants, plum sauce and Asian soy. Medium to full-bodied on the attack and mid-palate, it falls off slightly in the mouth (a characteristic of the 2011 vintage). It should be fully mature in another year or two, and last for 10-12 years. It is undoubtedly a success in this challenging vintage.

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."

Cabernet Sauvignon
96 Points The Wine Advocate
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 7% Malbec, 6% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. It has a deep garnet-purple color and delivers intense, vivacious black cherries, warm blackcurrants and blackberries scents with touches of garrigue, cigar box, underbrush and lavender. Full-bodied and packed with generous flavors of crushed black berries with oodles of earthy sparks, it has a rock-solid line of grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and savory.

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.

TASTING NOTES:
Premium vineyard sourced Carneros Swan Clone Pinot Noir has a beautiful warm ruby

Great core of fruit is coupled with secondary aromas of dried grass and an alluring satiny on the palate. All polish and class in glass, with a long, juicy finish.
VINTAGE:
With 10% whole cluster, we fermented in two neutral
barrels, stating with native yeast. A slow, cool fermentation
lead to this beautiful expression of Pinot Noir that has ample
fruit layers, balanced structure and a full mid-palate.

2016 PALAZZO RESERVE
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. Medium to full-bodied, vibrantly perfumed and possessing a wonderfully plush texture, it has bags of poise and purity coming through on the finish.

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. Very approachable for a Monte Bello, it’s still going to see its 30th birthday in fine form.

It’s a 93-point, do-everything bottling that we're thrilled to share.
"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.

2017 DALECIO FAMILY WINES
Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
95+ Points Jeb Dunnuck
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.

2017 DOMAINE DE VILLAINE
Bourgogne Cote Chalonnaise
LA FORTUNE
Supple and round, this red features cherry, strawberry, light earth, mineral and spice flavors. Firm, with intensity and a long finish that echoes the fruit, stone and spice notes.
2017 Hossfeld Coliseum Block Estate Merlot
(not eligible for discounts)
$90.00
We were sitting with a group of well respected vintners here in the valley and we got to talking about what it takes to make a great Merlot here in the Napa Valley.
The conclusion was that Merlot can achieve world class heights in the Napa Valley if it has a complementing Sense Of Place.
This Merlot Has It & Showcases Pomerol Elegance To Its Core. Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar
2017 HOSSFELD
COLISEUM BLOCK
ESTATE MERLOT~NAPA VALLEY
Fresh with aromas of blackberry and the rocky
manzanita of Napa chaparral, this 2017 Estate Merlot defines the history of the Hossfeld Coliseum Block's unique terroir. Graphite, coffee grounds coupled
with the site’s warm volcanic rock merge in unison out of glass to deliver an intensely linear, both alive and full bodied wine finishing with a rich lavish texture. 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.

2017 Paolo Scavino
BAROLO
Bric Del Fiasc
96 Points The Wine Advocate
With fruit from Castiglione Falletto, the Paolo Scavino 2017 Barolo Bric dël Fiasc is another terrific release from this leading estate. In fact, this wine delivers a big step up in terms of intensity and clarity, with a seamless integration of dark fruit, spice, balsam herb and sweet cherry. It also shows enormous clarity and definition, thanks to subtle touches of limestone and mineral. This wine figures high on a list of the best Barolos made in 2017.
2017 Paolo Scavino
BAROLO
Carobric
94 Points The Wine Advocate
This wine is a historic blend of fruit from Rocche di Castiglione, Cannubi and Bric dël Fiasc. Because the Cannubi lease was not renewed, Carobric will be very different after the 2018 vintage. However, the Paolo Scavino 2017 Barolo Carobric delivers what we love about this wine. It opens to a medium garnet hue and soft fruit intensity. It exhibits wild cherry and dried raspberry, with spice, smoke and lightly roasted hazelnut.
2017 Paolo Scavino
BAROLO
Prapo
94 Points The Wine Advocate
This is a bold and opulent wine that sources its fruit from Serralunga d'Alba. The Paolo Scavino 2017 Barolo Prapò delivers rich fruit weight, with plummy black fruit, blackcurrant, iron ore, spice and cured spice. The vines at this site were replanted in 2008 and the fruit shows depth and authenticity, thanks to their advancing age. You get lingering mineral tones of rust and iron that marry this wine to a sense of place. The finish is bold but moderate in length.
2017 Shafer Hillside Select 1.5 Liters

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select displays a deep garnet-purple color, bursting from the glass with scents of blueberry pie, crème de cassis, black cherry compote and chocolate box plus nuances of cedar chest, clove oil, lavender and menthol. 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.
An absolute triumph!

100 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Pure perfection, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Lithology Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is a nuclear fruit bomb of a wine, offering massive richness and depth while being as graceful as a ballerina, with no sensation of weight or heaviness. Classic To Kalon crème de cassis, black raspberries, flowery incense, spice, and tobacco notes all define the bouquet, and it’s full-bodied, with a layered, multi-dimensional texture, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. It has another 2-3 decades of prime drinking ahead of it. This cuvée is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from four blocks in To Kalon, aged 20 months in 82% new French oak.

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

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.

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.

"We don't have anything in mind about what the final blend will be each year," winemaker Andy Erickson said about this Blacktail blend. "We want to create something that is unique to the place this year." The 2018 Blacktail Proprietary Red Blend MMXIII is composed of 27% Cabernet Franc, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Malbec, 23% Petite Sirah and 4% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts with flamboyant blue fruits, plum preserves and black cherry compote notes, with hints of rose oil, Indian spices, camphor and pencil lead plus a waft of truffles.

2018 Domaine de la Charbonniere
CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE
Leading off the four Châteauneuf du Pape releases, the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape (70% Grenache and 15% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre) offers lots of blackberry fruits as well as notes of violets, flowers, and sandy, loamy earth. It’s medium-bodied, with a silky texture, ripe tannins, and the charming nature of the vintage front and center.
About The Estate
One of the finest run estates in Châteauneuf du Pape is the Maret family’s Domaine de la Charbonnière, which is in the heart of the appellation, just off the route to Courthezon. They produce four Châteauneuf du Pape (readers should read last year’s report on the 2016 and 2017s for a description of each of the cuvées), all meriting attention. In addition, they’ve added two new Vacqueyras releases, bringing the total from that appellation to three cuvées. The 2017s aren’t far off what was achieved in 2016, and the 2018s all showed beautifully, with more depth and richness that most in the vintage.

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+.

Lastly, there are a tiny 532 magnums of the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Triniceros, a blend put together by famed consultant Michel Rolland. 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.

THE DREAMER CABERNET SAUVIGNON
95 Points The Wine Advocate
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.

94 MASSIVE POINTS JEB D
A Southern Rhône-like blend of 49% Syrah, 34% Grenache, and 17% Mourvèdre that spent 18 months in 50% new French oak, the 2018 Chopping Block has a big, opulent nose of smoked black fruits, black licorice, pot roast, and peppered meat-like aromas and flavors. This deep, powerful, inky colored effort stays balanced and relatively light on its feet and has a stacked mid-palate as well as a great finish. It's not for the Pinot Noir-only crowd out there, but it offers incredible pleasure.

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.

2018 Hossfeld Estate Malbec
Dried Violets, Açai and Cacao Nibs
The 2018 Hossfeld Malbec opens with a dense nose of French plum and splintered cedar. Red currant and dried bramble give way to graphite and hillside tannin. Young with volcanic vibrancy, this Malbec will cellar well for the next
decade and beyond.
THE VINTAGE:
The 2018 season was defined by a slow ripening process with wonderful acid retention. While we usually have lower juice pH than average of the Valley (a benefit for aging), in 2018
we saw low pH coupled with the color and flavor intensity of a riper vintage. The nights were very cool throughout September and October without too much heat during the day. It was a very lengthy growing season that this hillside wine documents perfectly.

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.

Currants, savory spices, dried flowers, charcoal, and loamy earth all emerge from the 2018 Syrah The Deal, which comes from the Sundance Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope. Showing plenty of more savory, earthy notes, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a rounded, expansive texture, and ripe, polished tannins. It shows the more elegant, streamlined style of the vintage, yet I love its balance. It's going to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for 10-12.

Stoneridge Vineyard
98 Points Jeb Dunnuck
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon / Syrah King Coal Stoneridge Vineyard is another beautifully layered, complex wine from the team at K Vintners, based on 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Syrah. It offers lots of classic Cabernet tobacco, cedary herbs, and graphite notes, with the Syrah offering a more plush, sexy, seamless style to the wine. Loaded with red and black fruits, toasted spice, and chocolate, full-bodied, concentrated, yet seamless and incredibly pure, this gorgeously layered blend has enough tannins to warrant short-term cellaring yet is going to evolve gracefully for 15-20 years in cold cellars. It's a gorgeous wine.

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 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 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.

Each of the five mountain AVAs—Atlas Peak, Mount Veeder, Diamond Mountain District, Howell Mountain, and Spring Mountain District—makes up for less than 1% of the wine made in Napa Valley.
Leather, game meat, hickory and licorice are currently wrestling one another, backed with waves of blackberry, fig, boysenberry and black currant. The massively tannic mid-palate shows the strength to age. The back half kicks in with apple wood, dark cacao and cedar that linger into a lengthy finish.

2018 TORBRECK RUNRIG
Syrah
99 Points The Wine Advocate
Torbreck's 2018 RunRig needs a bit of air right now, as the nose and palate truly open up and expand after a while in the glass. Unlike some vintages, it's rather tight and cedary upon first pour, then relaxes to reveal hints of stone fruit, blueberries, cherries, pastry crust and baking spices. In the mouth, it's full-bodied and concentrated, richly textured and marked by ripe tannins, which leave behind a velvety, mouth-coating finish tinged with licorice and dark berries. While approachable now—and even damn enjoyable—it deserves another several years in the cellar.

Introducing the inaugural vintage.
2018 ZAKIN Hillside Estate
Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2018 Hillside Estate is 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Cabernet Franc and aged for 20 months I 60% French new oak. Winemaker, Philippe Melka says the 2018 Hillside is “very expressive, characterized by complex aromatics of cedar, sap, forest floor, floral and fresh mint. The wine is full bodied with a powerful attack, layered with sweet vanilla and dusty oak, savory nuance and bright vivid red fruit.”
On the nose you get aromas of sage, garrigues, dry herbs with some earthy wet soil notes, while in mouth the Cabernet Franc gives the wine backbone, beautifully highlights, and a long finish. This richly nuanced wine with supple tannins should age gracefully for many years.
About The Terroir
Primarily grown in our Pool Block facing south west on a beautiful hillside approximately 1,250 feet above the valley floor this block receives the most direct sunlight on the during the growing season and benefits from great drainage and the rocky volcanic soil found on our entire estate.

Another magical wine in the lineup, the 2019 No 8 is Syrah-based, with 9% Mourvèdre and 3% Viognier. There should be a little over 800 cases produced, and it was 55% destemmed and is still resting in 65% new French oak. I love its freshness and elegance, and it’s one of those rare incredibly hedonistic yet seamless, weighty wines that does everything right. Pure cassis, blackberries, smoked meats, and white pepper slowly emerge on the nose, and it’s full-bodied, with perfect balance and a great, great finish.

2019 BOARS' VIEW BDR
PINOT NOIR
For the inaugural vintage of this wine, we selected specific barrels to create a dark complex Pinot Noir full of fruit, spice and structure. In the glass, this wine exhibits a nearly opaque purple-red hue. Waves of aromas suggest red licorice, pomegranate reduction, pennyroyal mint and lavender oil. The bold, dynamic palate suggests notes of macerated boysenberry, cedar shavings, black cherry, oolong tea and crushed river rock. The entry of this wine starts with a fruit-forward expression and develops more structure and tertiary notes, mid palate, finishing with pretty, floral quality. This wine is easily enjoyable now with its abundance of fruit and great natural balance and acidity. - Thomas Rivers Brown

Blackcurrants, pipe tobacco, espresso, chocolaty oak, and some Graves-like gravelly earth and cold fireplace nuances all define the bouquet, and it's full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with silky tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. This rich, powerful, yet classic and age-worthy Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon will shine for another twenty years or more.

2019 CAYMUS
THE WALKING FOOL
A silky scarlet red with luminous highlights, this wine opens with a lean earthiness—the scent of rustic wood mixes with sweet spice, a whiff of cigar box, dusty pavement and old leather, infused with garden ripe strawberries and cherries. The palate is smooth and lively, featuring flavors of juicy raspberry, the subtle tartness of cranberry, and notes of espresso and smoked meat. Underlying acidity makes this wine mouthwatering, while its tannins lend a gritty yet softly fine texture. On the finish: a trace of vibrant cranberry, luxurious cocoa and an extra kick of spice.

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.

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.

Lovers of brilliant Châteauneuf du Pape should snatch up bottles of the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes, which comes mostly from the northeastern sector of the appellation, from the La Janasse lieu-dit as well as from the La Crau lieu-dit. Revealing a deeper ruby/plum color to go with a spectacular bouquet of peppery garrigue, smoked meats, blackcurrants, black cherries, and truffly earth, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness and has no hard edges, with building tannins and another blockbuster of a finish. While this wine is always rich and powerful, it’s the level of elegance and purity that really sets it apart in this vintage. Give bottles 2-3 years in the cellar and enjoy over the following 20+ years or more.

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 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 expression of the venerable J.J. Cohn vineyard—including vines planted in 1945 by John Daniel and dry farmed—is pure magic.

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.

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.

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.

LAS PIEDRAS VINEYARD
99 POINTS JEB DUNNUCK
Lots of lifted red and blue fruits, violets, bay leaf, and bouquet garni notes emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard LPV, a concentrated yet elegant 2019 that builds nicely with time in the glass. Coming from a Grand Cru site outside of St. Helena, it shows the classic Schrader richness and depth yet is just as much about elegance and finesse.
97 POINTS THE WINE ADVOCATE
Schrader’s “LPV” comes from Beckstoffer’s Las Piedras vineyard, produced from 337 clone grown on the C block. Deep purple-black colored, this barrel sample of the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Lpv rolls out of the glass with energetic notes of wild blueberries, black raspberries and chocolate-covered cherries, plus touches of licorice, camphor and crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate is rich, densely laden and framed by firm, grainy tannins with seamless freshness and an earthy finish.

100 Points The Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple colored, it erupts from the glass with a powerfully fragrant nose of red roses, Morello cherries, boysenberries and juicy blueberries, followed by hints of mocha, star anise, cardamom and cassia. The concentrated, full-bodied palate is jam-packed with bright, crunchy black, blue and red fruits. It has a rock-solid structure of firm, finely-grained tannins and seamless freshness lifting the shimmering layers to a long, energetic finish. The complexity and vivacity of this Syrah are simply jaw-dropping!
100 Points Jeb Dunnuck
A full-bodied, seductive, incredibly sexy wine that’s just about overflowing with fruit, its deep purple color is followed by beautiful cassis and darker berry fruits as well as notes of smoke game, pepper, and spring flowers. The tannins are polished, and it has a great mid-palate as well as one heck of a great finish. Due to the difficulty in trademarking names today, the estate has settled on using the name Distenta for their normal Syrah going forward. Luckily though, the incredible artwork on the labels will continue.

THE BLACK ACES
( V Wine Cellar CULT Worthy )
Slow simmering blueberry and jammy currant fruits as well as leafy herbs, earth, and floral notes. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it shows the elegant, lightly textured style of the vintage, with serious, building tannins that emerge and clamp down on the finish. This only needs a couple hours to ignite the sensations of lavish textures and finesse.

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.

Aromatic notes emerge in massive waves of brass, lychee, honeysuckle and lime pith. The ultra sleek, mouth coating palate is layered with notes of lanolin, grapefruit oil, and white peach. These decadent mid-palate notes are framed by an electrifying vivacious acidity that will widen your eyes and make you revel in what is a prime example of cool climate Sonoma Coast Chardonnay made by the hand of someone who knows what they're doing.

We reached out to Mr. Eric Jensen to gain access to the rare awesomeness he's been cranking out and stumbled across the MFN series of wines. Great value with a sense of vivacity that has always captivated my interest. A white wine that will be enjoyed all year round.

2020 MFN
My Favorite Neighbor Blanc
95 Points The Wine Advocate
A deep and rich hue of golden straw gives the first clue that this is a serious Chardonnay. Aromas of pear, green apple, and lime peel jump out of the glass followed by more nuanced fragrances of orange blossom, ginger root, and brioche. The sensation on the palate casually demonstrates both broad depth and laser like focus. An assertive core of acid and saline minerality rests completely ensconced in rich flavors of pie crust, clotted cream, and burnt caramel. Drink now for fresh vibrance, or in ten years for wild complexity. This wine is a perfect white to be enjoyed year-round.

When you're surrounded by great wines it's easy to step back and embrace innovative creative projects that fuse worlds together through wine. This 2020 STEREOPHONIC SANGIOVESE impressed us so much, even after drinking power house Cabernet Sauvignon. It was one of those Fridays fueled by awesome wine flux. You stole my heart-Container!

2020 STEROPHONIC
HEART CONTAINER SANGIOVESE
This visionary Sangiovese slices through the seriousness of previous Stereophonic efforts with a playful, fragrant, juicy and fine-boned profile that makes it nearly impossible to resist. Tasting like a zesty, silken song of marasca cherries with orange peel and hints of sweet fennel, it positions one leg astraddle the Russian River and the other resting over the Greve in Chianti.
