    Another masterpiece from the talents of Celia Welch, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain comes from a site on Howell Mountain and spent 20 months in new French oak. It’s a full-bodied, concentrated, powerful Mountain Cabernet revealing ample smoked black fruits, notes of graphite, tobacco, spicy wood, and bouquet garni, a dense, layered mid-palate, building tannins, and a gorgeous overall profile that will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age. It will unquestionably have two decades or more of prime drinking. SP23-5

    This red reveals both power and finesse, with intense aromas of truffle, black currant, violet and iron leading off, backed by saturated dark berry fruit, floral, leather and tobacco flavors. Big, muscular tannins grab hold of the finish, with ample fruit in reserve. Best from 2026 through 2045. 834 cases made, 15 cases imported.

    This is really fine on the palate with wonderfully integrated tannins that give tension and focus. It’s medium-bodied with lovely berry, cherry, cedar and spice. Peaches and flower stems, too. Creamy texture. Extremely long and vivid. Structured, but showing beautiful drinkability with wonderful balance and form.

    The 2023 Cabernet Franc Appellation San Carlos, aged for up to 13 months in barrel, opens with soft ash notes, a touch of bell pepper and oak in the background. Intense with a chalky texture and a taut profile, the 2023 finishes with lovely fruit. This well-structured red showcases a calibrated balance between fruit and the vintage’s characteristic ripeness.

    The 2023 Catena Appellation Luján de Cuyo White Clay is a blend of 60% Sémillon and 40% Chenin Blanc from Agrelo. Green-tinged in the glass, it reveals aromas of honey, wet wool and a hint of lime. Dry, nimble and slightly rich, the malic palate lingers with a refreshing, vibrant core. It’s an uncommon continental white for Argentina..

    The 2022 Malbec Appellation Lunlunta comes from old vines planted in Lunlunta, Maipu. Aged for 13 months in French oak barrels (with approximately one-third of them being new), this purple wine reveals aromas of dried plums and cherry, with a subtly spicy layer. Rich, ample and plush on the palate, it lingers with a creamy, ripe fruit flow. This is a bold and intense Malbec driven by its terroir.

  • Caterwaul 2018 Regusci Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

    Caterwaul 2018 Regusci Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

    $99.99

    Antonio Galloni 95 Rating
    The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Regusci Vineyard is a powerful, dense wine. Inky dark fruit, crème de cassis, chocolate, spice, licorice and lavender infuse the 2018 with tons of richness. Tasted next to the Cemetery, the Regusci is a bit more overt and opulent in style, with ripeness pushed to the max. The 2018 turns up the dial on everything; fruit intensity, acid and tannin. It is a decidedly flamboyant Cabernet from this historic Stags Leap property.
