$79.99California
Enjoyabilityfactor 96 Rating
Julien’s 2021 Classic unites Napa Valley’s diverse terroirs in a gracefully balanced composition.

Plush, sweet purple fruit and rich coffee aromas expand on the palate, supported by gentle minerality and notes of fresh thyme and garrigue. Spicy white-pepper tannins usher the wine into a mouthwatering finish of fresh red fruits, blackberry pastry, and allspice. R43-5 -
Palmaz Vineyards 2019 Chardonnay Amalia Napa Valley
$59.99California
The 2019 vintage of Amalia Chardonnay is the epitome of summer. Hints of honeysuckle and kiwi rise from the glass as you swirl. Unlike its namesake, the Amalia Chardonnay is shy at first. But soon it becomes synonymous with the Palmaz matriarch, warm and inviting. Meyer lemon rind and hints of tropical banana balance seamlessly with a full-bodied mouthfeel and well-integrated oak. Will do lovely with age, but don’t fret if you open a bottle now, the wine would be a perfect finishing touch to any summer gathering. R13-1

Palmaz Vineyards 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
$129.99California
Shy at first, the 2019 Palmaz Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine that takes its time to show its true characteristics. Dark fruit and toasted oak explode from the glass to invite you in. Once the wine opens up, currants, smoky oak and bold tannins round out a luscious mid-palate. Patience is key for the 2019 vintage, revealing more complexity as it opens up in the glass. The wine’s long finish leaves a hint of toasted caramel on the good-bye. A Cabernet braised steak or grilled tomahawk would be a perfect companion to this bold beauty. Anticipate the wine to age elegantly through 2030. R5-1

The perfect 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot, all of which spent 22 months in 80% new French oak. The idea of this release is to showcase fruit from throughout the valley, and to say that winemaker Chris Carpenter succeeded would be an understatement. It boasts off-the-charts richness and depth as well as notes of cassis, toasted spices, graphite, tobacco, and espresso, with perfectly integrated oak. Inky purple-hued, full-bodied, voluptuously textured, and flawlessly balanced, it can be drunk any time over the coming 25 years or more. Drink 2023-2048. R9-1
