Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

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.

Celler Cesca Vicent Priorat 2020
$29.00Add to cartA great value wine from a 5th generation Spanish producer. A real delight.
-
Chateau Talbot Saint Julien 2020
$99.00Add to cartChateau Talbot is a 4th Cru Classé in Saint-Julien and is one of the Médoc’s most emblematic names. It’s one of the Medoc’s oldest estates, and through the years has been fortunate enough to remain in good hands. The current owners are the fourth generation of the same family managing Talbot.
The soils are well raised and gravelly producing classic Bordeaux aromas all in a balanced package. It’s lively and framed by a sensational texture and a lingering finish. Aromas of plum confit, crème de cassis, tobacco, licorice, and roasted herbs mingle with a woody, charcuterie-like savory note that will only deepen with age.
-
Clos Mogador Priorat Tinto 2020
$144.00Add to cartThe estate of Clos Mogador is a must try for anyone interested in learning about Spanish wine. From the heart of Priorat René Barbier creates this heady Garnacha-dominant blend. It has structure, power, and elegance, but for all that retains finesse—even in old age. Drink now or lay down for 10+ years.

Cosimo Taurino Notarpanaro Rosso 2012
$25.00Add to cartThis wine is an easy recommendation and hopped right out the gates as a staff favorite (especially for Will) showing that no matter the price point you can find wines with depth and soul.
Hailing from Lecce in Puglia (the heel of the Italian boot) where most wine is made in bulk to be drunk out of a jug comes a wine that’s rustic and earthy while still being classic and elegant. This is Grand Cru Puglia, a diamond in the rough?
Cosimo Taurino takes his wines seriously, holding them back for years to tame the tannins and allow them to harmonize in the bottle. This current release is a 2012!
-
Domaine Alary l’Estevenas Cairanne 2022
$38.00Add to cartA very cool family run domaine with centuries of history. The Alary’s have actually been in the shop to pour, and we loved getting to meet them. Their organically made wines are delicious and really out drink their price point.

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.

Herb Lamb Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 750ml
$189.00Add to cartThe wines from Herb Lamb were a special grower take on Napa Cab, that are now unfortunately in a rebuilding phase after the Glass Fires swept through the region destroying their operation along the way. But this wine, oh this wine is in a perfect place. If you want to taste great Napa Cabernet this is the bottle for you.

Herb Lamb Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 750ml
$387.00Add to cartThe wines from Herb Lamb were a special grower take on Napa Cab, that are now unfortunately in a rebuilding phase after the Glass Fires swept through the region destroying their operation along the way. But this wine, oh this wine is just coming into its own. The reserve is the best of the best and if you are looking for the perfect Napa Cab this is a wine to drink now or save for the next decade.

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 2019
$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.

Mercante Primitivo Appassimento Private Reserve 2021
$36.00Add to cartThis is a warm hug of a southern Italian wine. It’s juicy and fruit-forward but still soft, velvety, and smooth. We’d say it’s an explosion of flavor like red cherry, raspberry, and a bit of cinnamon just like the other wine from Mercante, however this wine is partially appassimento, which is a technique for partially drying the grapes after picking, leaving them more honeyed and rich than before.

Mercante Salento Primitivo Private Reserve 2022
$27.00Add to cartThis is a warm hug of a southern Italian wine. It’s juicy and fruit-forward but still soft, velvety, and smooth. We’d say it’s an explosion of flavor like red cherry, raspberry, and a bit of cinnamon.

Obsidian Ridge Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$50.00Add to cartThis is a wine that is an exploration of volcanic soil in a part of the world where twenty years ago, they planted a vineyard on an old abandoned walnut orchard, 2,875 feet high in the Mayacamas Mountains that turned out to be a ridge of solid black Obsidian glass. All of the extremes in this site come together to form a truly interesting wine that we think is worth trying for any Cabernet fan.

Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz 2021
$35.00Add to cartThe first of Penfold’s Bin series that is exactly as it should be: rich and generous with flavors straight out of a German cake shop. Despite the bakery flavors it retains juicy acidity and well structured tannins.
