Sine Qua Non 2016 Grenache Dirt Vernacular
$399.99

California
Jeb Dunnuck 100 Rating
One of the finest Grenaches to ever pass my lips is the 2016 Grenache Dirt Vernacular and it’s 78% Grenache, 11.5% Mourvèdre, 7% Touriga Nacional, and the rest Petite Sirah. Reminding me of an old vine Grenache cuvée from the Maurel brothers in Châteauneuf du Pape, it boasts a huge nose of black raspberries, kirsch liqueur, graphite, ground herbs, and pepper. This is one of those wines that offers incredible intensity and depth, yet still just glides over the palate with no sense of heaviness whatsoever. Full-bodied, rich, layered, and pure, it’s a riveting example of Grenache that could come from nowhere else. Drink it any time over the coming 15+ years. R38-1 SP20-1
Barnett Vineyards 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon
$74.99

Spring Mountain District Napa Valley
The 2017 Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the darkest we’ve made. Big black raspberry jumps from the glass as well as blueberry jam and black pepper. There is a bright chocolate element surrounded by cedar notes. The mouthfeel is rich and lush with a lot more dark fruit as well as cigar box and mocha. The tannins are significant, very big, and chalky. While the mountain acidity is firm it is the tannins that dominate. There is a long black raspberry and mocha finish to the wine. This sizeable Cabernet will age amazingly over the next 14-15 years (2033-2034). SP26-5
Long Shadows 2018 Feather Cabernet Sauvignon
$64.99

Columbia Valley Washington
Jeb Dunnuck 98 Rating
The classic 2018 Feather (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) comes from the Weinbau and Wallula Vineyards and spent 22 months in 90% new French oak. It has a wonderfully pure nose of crème de cassis, new saddle leather, dried flowers, and tobacco that carries to a medium to full-bodied, seamless Cabernet with a wonderful sense of purity, balance, and elegance, all while bringing plenty of fruit and structure. I actually like it today, yet it has enough tannins to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and should be long lived. R40-7 SP29-6
Nipozzano Chianti Rufina Riserva

Tuscany Italy
Aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, cloves, sandalwood and rosemary. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins and crispness giving it tension and brightness. Sangivoese with touches of malvasia and merlot. A sure bet for Tuscan red, with lower alcohol.

Wine Enthusiast 94 Rating
Red roses and wild cherries greet you with Barbaresco’s signature finesse, lifted by crushed tart raspberries, subtle fresh herbs and savory spice. The palate unfolds with graceful precision, weaving together these complex threads of red fruits, herbs and spice, all carried by silken tannins. An elegant expression that delivers remarkable depth while maintaining its poise. Drink Now – 2050.

Aubert 2019 Chardonnay Lauren
$199.99

Sonoma Coast California
Wine Advocate 97-100 Rating
Lauren Vineyard (named after Mark Aubert's daughter) is the first vineyard Mark Aubert ever bought. It is composed of gravel mixed with Goldrich soils and was planted in 1999 to four different clones: two Old Wente clones, Mount Eden and Corton-Charlemagne. The 2019 Chardonnay Lauren Estate (a barrel sample) was fermented and aged in 100% new French oak. Unlike the other 2019 Aubert Chardonnays, this one needs a little swirling and coaxing to reveal the youthfully mute nuances of sea spray, crushed cashews, beeswax and allspice over a core of fresh pineapple, passion fruit, lemon meringue pie and toast. The full-bodied palate delivers the most gorgeous silken texture with tons of opulent spice-laced tropical fruit flavors and a refreshing line, finishing with incredible length and energy. Singularly stunning. SP32-1
Vina Robles Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Price range: $19.99 through $204.00

Paso Robles California
The Cabernet Sauvignon opens with expressive aromas of black cherry, ripe blackberry, and plum, accented by cedar, vanilla bean, and a hint of baking spice from oak aging. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, delivering layers of dark fruit, mocha, and dried herbs, wrapped in firm yet polished tannins. A lingering finish of toasted oak and spice rounds out this classic Paso Robles Cabernet.
