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.

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 2013
$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!

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.

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.

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.

Obsidian Ridge Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$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.

Ornellaia Le Serre Nuove dell Ornellaia 2022
$99.00Add to cartThis is the second wine from Ornellaia made from the same varieties as the first: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. It has all the hallmarks of great Bordeaux but with a Mediterranean twist.

Ornellaia Ornellaia 2022
$299.00Add to cartWe also have just two bottles of the elegant and highly coveted Super Tuscan from Ornellaia. The 2022 vintage is being called “La Determinazione,” which has a double meaning that represents the determination of their technical team and the resilience of the Ornellaia vineyards. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Petit Verdot. The resulting wine is beautifully subtle and concentrated with chewy tannins, a distinct stony quality, and a freshness that doesn’t always show up in Super Tuscans.
