Caymus Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 50th Anniverary Edition 2022
$104.00Add to cartCaymus is one of the most recognizable bottles in California Cabernet and is a favorite of many a long time wine drinker. Popping open this bottle (no matter the age—one of the stark differences between Caymus and more Bordeaux-leaning California Cabernets) means that you are guaranteed something approachable. Big, brash, and decidedly New World.

Caymus Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection 2018
$250.00Add to cartCaymus only produces two wines. Both are bold California Cabs, but what makes the special selection so special? The special selection takes the very best barrels of Caymus in only great vintages, which means that some years there isn’t a special selection. One of the points of pride for Caymus is that their wines are enjoyable on release or with age, so if you are looking for a special California Cab to drink tonight, look no further.

Gour du Chaule Gigondas Cuvee Tradition 2021
$49.00Add to cartA very pretty Gigondas from a longtime winemaking family. Blended from a few sites with an average age of well over half a century in age that have very low yields. The wine is aged in large oak foudres where it stays to be bottled unfined and unfiltered a full three years after harvest. It’s balanced but sturdy and has sweet tannins and aromatic, meaty spice.

Kriz Plavac Mali 2020
$29.00Add to cartPlavac Mali is one of the most interesting grapes around. It’s the progenitor of Primitivo, which is actually Zinfandel! How do we know this? In the first DNA mapping researchers from UC Davis reversed the search until they found out that all the way on the Dalmatian coast. It’s a deep, dark, highly dense wine that screams out for a steak.

La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint Julien 2015
$90.00Add to cartThis is the Medoc’s smallest village, and while it has no first growths it has the highest amount of classified estates in the Medoc. The gravels are less deep that Pauillac so are less hefty but still grace. This expression is from one of the oldest estates and has all the delightful notes of the region: cedar, violets, graphite and will definitely benefit from some aging, so this 2015 is just entering its ideal drinking window.
-
La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza Rioja Reserva 2017
$54.00Add to cartRioja Alta has a slightly different vibe than the vineyards further down the slopes at lower elevation. The winds keep things a little fresher so the expression will be lighter and have a bit more acidity.
-
Marietta Game Trail Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$58.00Add to cartThe Game Trail is part of the “Single Estate Series” that are the most concentrated and limited wines that Marietta makes. The grapes come from a small block perched at 1400 ft. in a mountain ridge of the Yorkville Highlands, with coastal influences, and large diurnal shifts, which allow for the ideal balance of optimal ripeness of fruit, and retention of natural acidity. Deep, dark, and savory.

Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz 2021
