Anthill Farms Helluva Vineyard Anderson Valley White
$35.00Add to cartFrom a trio of winemakers who met while working at Sonoma’s Williams Selyem who decided to seek out small plots they could farm themselves in cooler vineyard sites. Still incredibly small in their production they focus on producing transparent wines of exceptional beauty.
The Helluva Vineyard white is a blend of Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and Gewürztraminer. It’s flinty and spicy but full of golden apple and lemon meringue notes.

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.

Domaine Eden Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
$69.00Add to cartIn the heart of the Santa Cruz mountains Domaine Eden is growing some great fruit. While they produce Pinot and Chard the Cabernet is special with critics like Antonio Galloni saying, “This might very well be the best value in artisan, high-end California Cabernet.”
It’s full of dark fruits and is classic Santa Cruz with huge gobs of black fruit and herbs that aren’t over heavy. It will improve with age but is a delight now.

Favia Cab. Sauv Combsville 2019
$279.00Add to cartIf you don’t know Favia let us introduce you. Founded by husband and wife team Annie Favia and Andy Erickson in 2003, this winery has been steadily releasing some of the best (and most ageworthy) Cabernets in the valley.The reason they were able to come right out of the gate making such stellar wine is the pedigree that they bring to the table. She managed vineyards for Abreu and then Colgin, Harlan, and Aurajo while he was assistant winemaker at Harlan and then winemaker at Screaming Eagle among other projects.Sourced from three Coombsville vineyards: Meteor, The Rabbit Hole, and Collinetta. A glass-staining ruby-purple color. Intensely aromatic blackberry and cherry fruits are pure, precise, and layered with fragrant cedarwood notes, white pepper, and dark chocolate. Full-bodied with unctuous and concentrated dark berry fruits that have a satiny quality, framed by velvety fine-grained tannins and gobs of red licorice, aromatic violets, and graphite. So dense and tightly packed and yet so fresh and inviting. A classic Coombsville expression of Cab. -
Flowers Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2023
$52.00Add to cartOne of the classics of the California Chardonnay camp, the Flowers Chardonnay from Sonoma leans decidedly towards mineral and fresh vs. the big fruit and oak.

Foxen Chenin Blanc Ernesto Wickenden Vineyard 2023
$39.00Add to cartFoxen is a legend in Santa Barbara wine country. Founded by Dick Doré and Bill Wathen in the late 70s it wasn’t until the late 80’s that they got their license (the 13th in the region which now is home to over 200). They work with some of the best fruit in the region where winemaker David Whitehair seeks to express the fruit cleanly.
This wine (and all the estate fruit) is an anomaly in the region as Foxen has own-rooted, dry farmed grapes on their estate. The fact that they can do this is quite frankly wild. In a place where pretty much everyone irrigates they don’t have to. The quirks of geography can be a funny thing. This chenin is proof that great wines can come from unlikely corners of the world.

Foxen Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2020
$50.00Add to cartFoxen is a legend in Santa Barbara wine country. Founded by Dick Doré and Bill Wathen in the late 70s it wasn’t until the late 80’s that they got their license (the 13th in the region which now is home to over 200). They work with some of the best fruit in the region where winemaker David Whitehair seeks to express the fruit cleanly. This fruit comes from the cooler pinot plots of Santa Maria which is closer to the coast than Foxen Canyon. The wine is a delightful pinot with all the hallmarks of fruit that benefits from a big shift between the night and day temperatures, and like all great Santa Barbara wines there’s a distinct tell of salinity.

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.

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.

Joseph Phelps Insignia Napa Valley Red Wine 2021
$399.00Add to cartA classic Napa Cab that has a little something for every bold red lover. The 2021 vintage was cooler than average leading to well balanced fruit that retained some great acidity. It’s rich and full-bodied with fleshy fruit and well-rounded structure. As is classic in the region it’s drinkable now but will gain even more complexity with age.

Lioco Mendocino County Pinot Noir 2022
$32.00Add to cartPinot Noir loves a cool climate, so the strong influence of the cold Pacific air is the perfect place to grow this grape. The vintage was difficult for growers, meaning that the fruit that did make it to the winemakers was concentrated and expressive—perfect for Pinot lovers. Blending fruit from four sites around the county allowed Lioco to produce a gorgeously balanced wine that takes the best characteristics from each of their sites to produce a wine that tastes like Northern California: brambly coastal berries (cherry, black raspberry), pine resin, dried tobacco, iron, salinity, and blue florals.

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.

Martha Stouman Post Flirtation 2022
$35.00Add to cartSince 2014 Martha Stoumen has been making delicious minimal intervention wines that focus first on farming. Her choice of warm weather sites allow for less manipulation in the vineyards for the 1/4 of grapes that she grows while finding farmers who share her passion for the others.
The Post Flirtation is a Community fan favorite that is perfect for chilling. It’s juicy and ready for warm afternoon.
