    Wine Advocate 93 Rating
    The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Lyndenhurst is composed of 77.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9.4% Cabernet Franc, 4.1% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot and 3.8% Malbec. Deep garnet-purple in color, it skips out of the glass with lively blueberries, redcurrants and kirsch scents, plus hints of cedar chest, fragrant earth and rose hip tea. Medium-bodied, elegant and lively in the mouth, the palate is chock-full of bright and crunchy red and black fruits, finishing long and earthy. R12-4

    Very Limited Offering
    Aged 21 months in new barrels, the tiny production 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Cask 23 is brooding and inward yet has incredible purity in its darker currant and cassis-like fruit as well as subtle smoked tobacco, crushed stone, liquid violet, and graphite-driven nuances. These carry to a deep, layered, sensationally concentrated Cabernet that has sweet yet building tannins, a seamless mouthfeel, flawless balance, and a great, great finish. It needs to be hidden for a decade if you can, but this is a legend in the making and will have 50+ years or more overall longevity if well stored. For the technical geeks out there, the alcohol is 14.8% and its pH is 3.72. SP11-6

  • Staglin Family Vineyard Estate 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon

    Staglin Family Vineyard Estate 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon

    $279.99

    Rutherford Napa Valley California
    Jeb Dunnuck 97 Rating
    I continue to simply love the 2016s, which come close to rivaling the 2013s, albeit with a more elegant character. Another pure class release from this great estate, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend that includes small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, all aged 20 months in mostly new French oak. Its deep purple/plum color is followed by classic Rutherford notes of blackcurrants, cedar pencil, chocolaty herbs, licorice, and hints of truffle. It's beautifully balanced, full-bodied, and seamless on the palate, and while it's less overt and sexy than the 2015, it shows the class, balance, purity, and length that makes 2016 such a special vintage. It offers pleasure today and will offer pleasure in another 20-25 years. SP23-2

    The 2017 Syrah Estate Grown is absolutely gorgeous. Fresh, floral and wonderfully perfumed, the Estate expresses all the best vintage had to offer. Sweet floral, spice and dried herbs are beautifully laced into a core of dark Syrah. Not only is the Estate a terrific example of the year, it also captures the interplay of rich fruit and more savory notes that is so typical of the best Ballard Canyon Syrahs. The 2017 is simply compelling. That's all there is to it. SP20-5

    Switchback Ridge 2022 Petite Sirah

    Price range: $69.99 through $360.00

    Peterson Family Vineyard Napa Valley California
    Enjoyabilityfactor 97 Rating
    100% Petite Sirah aged for 18 months in 100% New French Oak and made by Thomas Rivers-Brown. A deeply concentrated, fruit driven wine with intense aromas of ripe elderberry, blackberry, blueberry and black plum. Hints of black pepper, vanilla, coffee grounds and cigar further add to the wine’s mystique and complexity. Ripe black fruits dominate the palate finishing with an unexpected brightness and mouth-coating tannin. This wine is a meal in itself! Best to aerate at least an hour before serving and serve between 58-60 degrees.

    Fantastic complexity here with aromas of toast, biscuit, lemon, almond, chalk and some fennel. It’s long, sleek and mineral, with tight, very fine bubbles and so much tension and precision. Very long and chalky finish.

  • Tamber Bey 2022 Oakville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

    Tamber Bey 2022 Oakville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

    Price range: $159.99 through $870.00

    Yountville Napa Valley California
    The aromas deliver hickory and cherry wood smoke, dense blackberry and blueberry jam, cigar box, toffee, and crushed rock. Flavors of blackberry and black cherry intermingle with tobacco leaf, black licorice, and fennel bulb. The expansive tannins coat the palate, lending a warm, luxurious feel to the wine. The finishing tannins are very fine-grained and persistent.

    Wine Enthusiast 95 Rating
    One of a series of releases by this Port producer, this Colheita, or Port from a single harvest, is beautifully poised between red fruits and mature almond and an old gold character. It has intensity, a product of the aging in wood that has just concentrated the wine. Like all Ports of this type, it is ready to drink.

    Wine Advocate 97 Rating
    The NV 50 Year Old Tawny Port is a field blend bottled with a bar-top cork in 2022 and with 158 grams of residual sugar. Mature, with dark chocolate nuances, this is rich, deep and sensationally delicious. The concentration is exceptional too. Then, there's the long, long finish, filled with fruit and sugar. It is irresistible, in addition to being nuanced and complex. It's young enough so that it is never just a curiosity. The fruit is certainly not cracking. Drink: 2022-2060. Wall-2
