About the Wine

A blend of fruit from Paso Robles' westside Adelaida District and the eastside El Pomar District, the Lotierzo 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a bright, pure expression of the best of both worlds.

Kiara Bella 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon
A crowd pleaser for any occasion! The Kiara Bella 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of sweet and spicy berries and hints of vanilla and leather. On the palate, seamless yet diverse flavors of chocolate cherries, white pepper and olives beautifully complement each other to create a truly distinctive and lush Cabernet Sauvignon. The lengthy and soft tannins will help this wine age gracefully for several years to come.

About the Wine

NV Guy de Chassey "Cuvee de Buretel Grand Cru"

The Guy de Chassey estate is nestled at the foot of the Montagne de Reims in the village of Louvois, which is one of only 17 villages in France’s Champagne appellation to hold 100% Grand Cru status. It farms all of its grapes in Louvois and the neighboring Bouzy and Tauxieres Mutry.

Today, Champagne Guy de Chassey is overseen by Marie-Odile de Chassey, whose daughter Ingrid expertly monitors the vinification, carrying out most of the vineyard work by hand and producing just enough grapes to craft just 4,000 cases of wine each year.

The “Cuvee de Buretel” is a multi-vintage cuvee of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which Ingrid blends to a house style that is light yellow in hue, shows off a fine, nose-tickling mousse, and exhibits a rich, creamy texture — a delicious special-occasion Champagne. — Information provided by Vinesse

About the Wine

2011 Corley Family Yewell Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Fifty years later, Chris Corley is carrying on the family’s winemaking tradition, crafting various blends and single-variety wines from grapes grown in some of the California North Coast’s most acclaimed vineyards.

One such site is the Yewell Vineyard in the St. Helena area of Napa Valley. This vineyard shows off the tremendous intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon, which Corley then crafts into a balanced, elegant and beguiling wine. The Corley family has worked closely and collaboratively with the Yewell family to make this stunning cuvee a reality.

“Our goal with this wine is to present as pure an expression as possible from the vineyard,” Chris Corley tells us. “The richness of the texture is very appealing, and the finish is smooth, lingering and mouthwatering.” Only 237 cases of this filet mignon-worthy Cabernet were produced. — Information provided by Vinesse

About the Wine

Crux 2015 Grenache
A blend of 90% Grenache, 5% Syrah, and 5% Mourvedre, the Crux 2015 Grenache comes from a selection of premium vineyards in Sonoma's Russian Rivery Valley. The Grenache for this vintage is robust and full bodied, while the small amounts of Syrah and Mourvedre add just the right amount of complexity and spice to round it out. This wine is bold and wellbalanced with its flavors of strawberry, violet and white pepper, and hints of baking spice and vanilla coming through on the finish. Aged in oak. Enjoy!

Kalaris 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon
The Kalaris 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, named after proprietor Gus Kalaris, comes from the winery's pedigree Axios vineyards in Napa Valley. Staying true to the vision of the brand, this wine is handcrafted in limited quantities and the grapes are of the highest quality. The Kalaris 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is a true reflection of Gus Kalaris' vision to produce first class wines in a classic Old World style, while allowing the Napa Valley origin to shine through. This wine is a powerful effort displaying loads of red and black currants, blackberry, plum, spice box, and a meaty, chocolate character. It's supported by silky, well-integrated tannins that provide a perfect balance. This Cabernet Sauvignon is fruit-forward and opulent with a rich, velvety mouthfeel and a finish that lingers long after the final sip. Enjoy!

Sosie 2017 Roussanne
Sosie's 2017 Roussanne comes from the Vivio Vineyard in Bennett Valley, a hidden gem for winemakers, especially those who love Rhone varietals. Even though Bennett Valley is situated inland, it benefits from a strong marine influence that contributes to a long, slow growing season, which in turn, gives the grapes a concentrated flavor profile. Deep golden in color, this 2017 Roussanne opens with aromas of ripe apricot and orange blossom that are accented by chamomile and honey. The ripe apricot notes continue on the palate, followed by rich flavors of tart lemon and orange peel. The finish is slightly nutty with an even slighter note of bergamot. It is as close to the true Rhone-style Roussanne as they come. Enjoy!

Brutocao 2019 Chardonnay Bliss Vineyard
Brutocao's 2019 Chardonnay comes from the family's Bliss Vineyard in Mendocino County, located on the original property purchased by Irv Bliss in 1943. 100% barrel fermented, this Chardonnay offers bright tropical fruit aromas of papaya and notes of pears, apricots, vanilla and lemon on the nose.

2019 BioKult Rose

Varietal:  Blauer Zweigelt Zweigelt is Austria’s no. 1 red grape variety producing wines that have a slight smokiness and velvety texture to them. Very appealing to many people as it is a light and easy to understand red. Award: Wine Enthusiast - 90 pts    Note:   A Handling Fee includes labor, shipping materials and FedEx "adult signature required" fee and are added into the Shipping Fee

Santa Lucia 2019 Ansonica
Crafted from an ancient coastal vineyard in Santa Potenziana, a historic place in southern Maremma, Tuscany, the Santa Lucia 2019 Ansonica was made from centuries-old Ansonica vines that are surrounded by dry stone walls. Ansonica is one of the oldest native vines of Sicily and is planted throughout the island, and in Tuscany it can only be found in the coastal Maremma region. A crisp, dry white wine, Ansonica is known for its nutty, citrusy characters with slight herbal notes. Straw yellow in color, the 2019 Ansonica has an intense bouquet of ripe fruit with notes of yellow apples and fresh herbs. The full body offers fresh acidity and a fruity, appley finish. Enjoy!

Knudsen 2015 Pinot Noir
The Knudsen 2015 Pinot Noir comes from the estate Knudsen Vineyards, located in the heart of Oregon's Dundee Hills. Friendly and approachable, this Pinot Noir opens with aromas of ripe red cherry, cranberry, rose, sandalwood, and a touch of earth. The concentrated palate is wrapped around a core of red fruits with cherry as the centerpiece. Additional accents include baking spices and brioche. Elegantly styled with supple tannins, this wine has a robust finish that builds richness over time in the glass. Enjoy!

Miroballi 2014 Pinot Noir
Miroballi's 2014 Hilliard Bruce Vineyard Pinot Noir comes from one of the most prestigious vineyard sites in Sta. Rita Hills. This Pinot Noir is silky, with subtle red fruit and bright flavors in the mouth, with great depth and classic Old World Burgundian aromatics and spice. Soft, smooth tannins support the earthy, long finish. This wine is a delicious complement to duck, salmon, and ahi tuna.

Ancillary Cellars 2017 Pinot Noir Sun Chase Vineyard
Strikingly complex, rich and fruity, the Ancillary 2017 Sun Chase Vineyard Pinot Noir is beautifully proportioned with an initial burst of red berry fruit and notes of red and black licorice. From there, the wine quickly gains traction and depth with firm, layered tannins that give the spicy berry flavors a perfect foundation. A beautiful fruit-forward entrance gives way to lively acidity that lifts the mid-palate and showcases the strawberry field and blood orange aromatics. This Pinot Noir drinks wonderfully right out the gate, but a year or two in the cellar promises to bring out even further complexities. Enjoy!

Comartin 2014 Grenache
The Comartin 2014 Grenache comes from the Tierra Alta Vineyard, meaning 'The High Land."

It's supported by silky, well-integrated tannins that provide a perfect balance. This Cabernet Sauvignon is fruit-forward and opulent with a rich, velvety mouthfeel and a finish that lingers long after the final sip. Enjoy!

Crux 2015 Grenache
A blend of 90% Grenache, 5% Syrah, and 5% Mourvedre, the Crux 2015 Grenache comes from a selection of premium vineyards in Sonoma's Russian Rivery Valley. The Grenache for this vintage is robust and full bodied, while the small amounts of Syrah and Mourvedre add just the right amount of complexity and spice to round it out. This wine is bold and wellbalanced with its flavors of strawberry, violet and white pepper, and hints of baking spice and vanilla coming through on the finish. Aged in oak. Enjoy!

About the Wine

Mathew Bruno 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon
The Mathew Bruno 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon hails from Rutherford, directly in the heart of Napa Valley's most coveted land for fine Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard was originally planted by Mrs. Thomas Rutherford in 1895 and in the years following, Georges de Latour purchased the vineyard and named it Beaulieu Vineyard Number 3. Many acclaimed wines originated from this vineyard, including wines made by Andre Tchelistcheff whose wines became the definition of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1960's and 1970's. A complex, structured and luscious Cabernet, this wine shows layers of black cherry, currant, sweet spice and mocha with a supple mouthfeel and toasty oak flavors that are effortlessly balanced by firm tannins and bright acidity - the essence of what a Cabernet Sauvignon should be. Enjoy!

Heintz 2014 Pinot Noir Swan Selection
The Charles Heintz 2014 'Swan Selections' Pinot Noir features the Swan Pinot Noir clone, a Sonoma County treasure that has adapted to the Heintz family's local terroir. The source for the celebrated clone is Joseph Swan's Russian River Valley estate, which was originally planted in 1969. The wines made from this clone tend to provide bright fruit and elegance. All manners of cherry are front and center in this beautiful 2014 'Swan Selections' Pinot Noir - red cherry, dark cherry, fresh cherry and dried cherry. On the nose, subtle notes of black raspberry, Santa Rosa plum, allspice, and violets are accented by a subtle woodsy character. The palate is deep, dense, and layered with grippy, fine-grained tannins and crisp, refreshing acidity. A nice touch of minerality comes through in the long, lingering finish.

Sosie 2017 Roussanne
Sosie's 2017 Roussanne comes from the Vivio Vineyard in Bennett Valley, a hidden gem for winemakers, especially those who love Rhone varietals. Even though Bennett Valley is situated inland, it benefits from a strong marine influence that contributes to a long, slow growing season, which in turn, gives the grapes a concentrated flavor profile. Deep golden in color, this 2017 Roussanne opens with aromas of ripe apricot and orange blossom that are accented by chamomile and honey. The ripe apricot notes continue on the palate, followed by rich flavors of tart lemon and orange peel. The finish is slightly nutty with an even slighter note of bergamot. It is as close to the true Rhone-style Roussanne as they come. Enjoy!

About the Wine

EX Wines 2018 Chardonnay
The EX 2018 Unoaked Chardonnay comes from the original 35 year-old vines planted on the San Saba Estate Vineyard. This wine sees zero oak and is fermented and aged only in stainless steel tanks, allowing the naturally bright and direct flavors and aromas to be properly displayed. On the nose, subtle aromas of tropical fruit balance the deceptively rich flavors of guava, banana and green apple. There is a noticeable yet well balanced splash of acidity and a full mouthfeel that leads into a long and refreshing finish. Enjoy!

Rucksack 2017 Red Blend The Cache
The 2017 'The Cache' is all about elegance, structure and balance, showing the incredible harmony between these five Bordeaux varieties - 51% Malbec, 27% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. This mountain-grown blend offers a melange of Bing cherry, blueberry, pomegranate, and red currant with soft tannins and a lingering finish.

DuMOL 2016 Syrah Wild Mountainside
As the name suggests, DuMOL's 2016 'Wild Mountainside' Syrah was produced exclusively from high-elevation mountain vineyards in the Russian River Valley, where vines struggle to produce small crops of truly unique character and incredible quality. The vineyards, Greywacke, Hoppe-Kelly, and Timbervine, are among the finest Syrah vineyards, not only in Sonoma County, but in all of California. Inky and concentrated, the 2016 'Wild Mountainside' Syrah offers blackberry, boysenberry and blueberry fruit characters that dominate both the aromas and the palate. The fruit is plush and deep, but there is also a sense of mountain precision and detail, and hints of floral lilac and wild thyme that add wonderful complexity. A savory ferrous note adds intrigue to the full-bodied palate, but the wine remains fine and polished throughout.

2017 Nuova Cappelletta Barbera de Monferrato
Deep reddish purple in color with an aroma of very rich and distinct vanilla and cinnamon.  Excellent structure and harmony.  Oak barrel aging has connected the acidity and alcohol with the tannin.  This wine is a blend of grapes grown in the Rinalda and Collina vineyards where the exposure and the soil allow for a medium-bodied wine suited for aging. Biodynamic and Vegan AWARDS December 2010 Wine & Spirits 86 pts (Best Buy) Note:   A Handling Fee includes labor, shipping materials and FedEx "adult signature required" fee and are added into the Shipping Fee

Wine Spots 2017 Merlot
The Wine Spots 2017 Merlot comes from three AVA's in Napa Valley's hillside vineyards, within Stag's Leap, Rutherford and St. Helena. Each superb site lends its own signature characteristics to build this elegant Merlot. This beautiful 2017 vintage is reminiscent of the finesse and elegance of Bordeaux's Right Bank, with soft tannins and a refined palate. Sweet cherries and plum aromas are accented by notes of vanilla on the nose, while French oak aging in small barrels emphasizes the soft tannins and fruit flavors of cherry, plum and blackberries on the palate. Hints of toasty oak come through on the long finish.

Crux 2015 Grenache
A blend of 90% Grenache, 5% Syrah, and 5% Mourvedre, the Crux 2015 Grenache comes from a selection of premium vineyards in Sonoma's Russian Rivery Valley. The Grenache for this vintage is robust and full bodied, while the small amounts of Syrah and Mourvedre add just the right amount of complexity and spice to round it out.

About the Wine

Piro 2018 Pinot Noir Runway Vineyard
The Piro 2016 Runway Vineyard Pinot Noir has something for everyone. On the nose, aromas of dark fruit mingle with hints of concentrated violet, ripe strawberry, and baking spices - like a strawberry pie drizzled with a cassis compote. The palate is velvety, smooth and well-balanced with flavors of dark plum and berries that lead into a long finish.

Rucksack 2016 Red Blend The Cache
A mountain-grown blend of 33% Cabernet Franc, 23% Merlot, 18% Malbec, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot, the 2016 'The Cache' Bordeaux-style blend offers complexity and perfumy notes on the nose with subtle pinches of spice. The Merlot and Malbec give the wine its rich texture, which is balanced by the brooding ripe blackberry and sweet cherry flavor profile. Hints of vanilla come through on the finish.

2018 Inkarri Malbec Reserva
Violets, blackberries and a hint of herbs make this a very expressive and fresh malbec. Powerful with a crisp finish. Drink or hold. Enjoy with: Grilled meats and game, mature cheese Varietal: 100% Malbec Awards: James Suckling - 91 points Tim Atkin - 92 points

2019 Maysara Autees Pinot Blanc
A slightly richer style of the Pinot Blanc grape, tending towards ripe fruit notes of apricot and even lychee. The floral scents in the nose are honeysuckle alight on a cool breeze. The upright acidity beckon you back again, with ample minerality on the dry, clean finish. Stellar with the firmer cheeses, fresh, ripe fruit and subtly herbed seafood. Autees is the ancient Persian Goddess that protects all the plants and trees on Earth. She is the protector of life and all things that grow. Certified: Organic and Biodynamic

About the Wine

Buoncristiani 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
95 POINTS -- Robert Parker, Jr.'s Wine Advocate "Containing a 4% splash of Malbec, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is very deep garnet-purple colored and displays warm black plums, black cherries and black berries with wafts of red currants, cedar chest, dried Provence herbs, lavender and spice box. Full, firm and velvety textured, the palate yields mouth-filling black fruits and spicy layers with a very long, perfumed finish." Winemaker Notes: This blend was handcrafted from small lots harvested exclusively from hillside vineyards in Howell Mountain and Coombsville. This wine was aged in barrels for 20 months and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Expect to find deep aromas of cassis, black cherry, incense, dark chocolate, caramelized oak, toffee, and the Buoncristiani signatures of balance, depth on the mid palate, and a lengthy persistent finish. Precise amounts of Malbec were carefully folded into the final blend to add complexity and depth to the profile. Twenty months aging in 85% new French oak barrels rounded out the palate even further, while adding more texture, aroma and flavor.

Titus 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Family Reserve
94 POINTS -- Antonio Galloni's Vinous "The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Family Reserve is inky, rich and explosive. Creme de cassis, blueberry jam, chocolate, menthol and sweet spice are all amped up in an unctuous, flamboyantly ripe Cabernet that will drink nicely with minimal cellaring. This is an especially rich, plush style. Hints of graphite, lavender, spice and new leather build into the super-expressive finish. This is very nicely done." 93 POINTS -- Jeb Dunnuck "The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Family Estate Reserve has lots to love. Deep black fruits, chocolate, tobacco, and lead pencil shaving-like notes all emerge from the glass, and its full-bodied, has a plush, seamless texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's an undeniable success to enjoy over the coming 10-15 years."

Lewis 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
93 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine "Solidly built with loam and warm licorice notes melding into dark currant and blackberry compote flavors. Broad and fleshy through the finish. A bit stolid in personality, but the depth and definition is there." Winemaker's Notes - Josh Widaman "Juicy, ripe and fruitful, our 2016 Napa Valley Cabernet captures the kitchen aromas of home jam-making. Creamy vanilla and wood spice together with black plum, truffle and earth give the nose delectable character. Flush with fruit, dusky, dense and polished, the wine finishes with cushy, dark-chocolate tannins."

Lewis 2018 Reserve Chardonnay Reserve
From the long growing season of 2018 our Napa Reserve Chardonnay has super showy aromatics, deliciously complex flavors and alluring texture that can't be captured in words. Opening with white flower blossoms, green pear, lime zest and crushed stone mineral the wine is fragrant and long-limbed. Profoundly rich and silky texture is underpinned with structural detail and a stunningly long tail.

Purlieu 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
95 POINTS -- Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon gives up exuberant notions of blackcurrant pastilles, blackberry compote and stewed red plums with touches of kirsch, potpourri, fragrant earth and cigar box. Full-bodied and opulently fruited in the mouth, the powerful flavors are well framed by firm, ripe tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy." 93 POINTS -- Wine Spectator "Solid, featuring a direct beam of cassis and raspberry reduction flavors, flanked by anise, applewood and bramble notes. A loamy echo chimes through the rich, polished finish."

GKG 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck "From a collaboration between Dave Phinney and Greg Gorman sourced from the Lewelling Vineyard, the 2016 GKG Cabernet Sauvignon offers a classic, elegant style that's very much in the style of the 2016 vintage. ...its deep purple color is followed by a medium to full-bodied, nuanced Cabernet that has impressive notes of black raspberries, cassis, and purple iris. It shines for its purity of fruit, balance and length, and is a beautiful, age-worthy Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon." 95 Points - Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate ". . . the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is medium to deep garnet-purple colored and offers lovely scents of wilted roses, oolong tea and sandalwood with a core of cassis, baked plums and warm black cherries with touches of olives and lavender. Medium to full-bodied with a good solid foundation of grainy tannins and oodles of freshness, it delivers beautifully understated fruit and a harmonious finish."
