RETAIL WINE LIST
Chardonnay
Benovia Chardonnay 2020, Russian River Valley
$39.95
$44.50___ 94 Decanter Winemaker and co-owner Mike Sullivan has produced one of the best-value Russian River Chardonnays on the market. Chardonnay grapes are sourced from Martaella Estate and Zio Tony Ranch, whole cluster pressed and fermented with indigenous yeasts, aged 13 months in 34% new French oak. The result is a Chardonnay you just can't put down. Seductively bright aromas of lemon curd, poached pear, and candied ginger mingle with warm baking spices. Round and velvety with superb fruit weight and a dense mineral core that is salty and savoury. Such a dynamic white for the price. 94 Wine Enthusiast Subtle at first but richer with each sip, this deceptively full-bodied wine layers nutmeg, toasted oak and hazelnut nuances between ripe apple and pineapple flavors on a smooth, expansive texture. Excellent depth, good balance and a lingering finish seal the deal. *Editors' Choice 92 Jeb Dunnuck 91 points Wine Spectator
Bouchaine Chardonnay Estate 2019, Carneros
$25.00
$28.00___ 92 Points Tasting Panel Lush and creamy, with bright pear and toasty oak; rich, complex, and fruit-forward. 91 Points Wilfred Wong The 2019 Bouchaine Estate Chardonnay brings incredible intensity to the fore with a decidedly Carneros style. This wine offers aromas and flavors of sandalwood, dried earth, chalky notes, and ripe apples. Enjoy it with steamed crab in a decadent cream sauce.
Buehler Chardonnay 2017, Russian River Valley
$12.00
$14.00___ Balance and proportion best describe the character of this Russian River Chardonnay; it displays abundant floral/ stone fruit aromas lightly accented by toasty, graham cracker sur-lie qualities. The mouth feel is creamy and full but the natural acidity of the Russian River fruit carries this velvet textured package to a long, clean finish.
Buehler Chardonnay 2019, Russian River Valley
$16.95
$18.95___ Our 2019 Russian River Chardonnay is born from two vineyards within the Russian River appellation: Wood Vineyard, located on River Rd and River Vineyard, located in the heart of Sonoma’s Russian River Valley on East Side Road. The floral, mineral, and lime aromas and steely structure of the River Vineyard are complemented by the peach and apricot aromas and more fleshy structure of the Wood Vineyard.
Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay 2022, Napa Valley
$36.00
$40.00___ Our flagship Napa Valley Chardonnay opens with aromas of ripe green and golden apple, accented by fresh white peach and light oak. Across the palate, this golden wine is silken in texture with flavors of apple, citrus and pear balanced by refreshing acidity. The long finish is clean, with underlying hints of minerality, vanilla and lemon. This is a versatile pairing wine—we love it with grilled seafood and nearly any selection of cheeses.
Carmenet Chardonnay 2022, California
$8.50
$12.00___ Carmenet Chardonnay is a lovely straw-colored wine with hints of apple, banana, and vanilla. This opulent and sensual wine finishes with butterscotch and tropical fruit and ends with a smooth, crisp enjoyable finish. This Chardonnay is delicious with seafood, shellfish, pork, cheese and poultry.
Dance Chardonnay By Long Shadows 2019, Washington
$37.50
$41.95___ Wine Enthusiast 93 The aromas intrigue on the nose, with notes of clarified butter, straw, spice and pumpkin. The palate shows depth and breadth to the stone fruit flavors but also sophistication. The balance is exquisite. For those looking for a full-bodied Chardonnay where the oak doesn't steal the show, this is a shining example. Vinous 93 Jeb Dunnuck 92 Robert Parker 91+ Wine Spectator 91
Flowers Chardonnay 2022, Sonoma Coast
$33.00
$36.95___ 94 James Suckling This is really tangy and vivid with sliced lemons and green apples with stone and white peaches. Some flowers and botanicals. Medium body. Firm and fine phenolics and a fresh finish. Drink or hold. 93 Decanter Soaring lemon cream aromatics accented by notes of sea spray, lemongrass and beeswax mark this coastal Chardonnay from Flowers on the Sonoma Coast. The palate is fresh and linear. Oyster shell salinity, bee pollen and grilled lemon make for a savory balance with delicate crushed chalk minerality.
Gift Box
$12.00
Hilt Chardonnay "Bentrock Vineyard"2019, St. Rita Hills
$85.50
$95.00___ 97 points James Suckling: "This is a fantastic chardonnay with sliced green-apple, cooked-apple, nougat and slate aromas. Some dried chili, too. Medium-bodied palate that grows full and tangy, with a vibrant finish of candied lemons and sliced limes. Salty and intense. Unique. Drink or hold. 95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Even better, the 2019 Chardonnay Bentrock Vineyard boasts a thrilling, richer, medium to full-bodied style that shows winemaker Matt Dees’ vibrant, chiseled style while still bringing ample fruit. White peach, caramelized orchard fruits, toasted almonds and spice emerge on the nose, and it has a Chablis on steroids-like style that will evolve gracefully for a decade. Drink: 2021-2031. 95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2019 Chardonnay Bentrock opens with super-expressive aromatics. Chalk, white pepper, mint, lemon peel and slate race out of the glass. The 2019 exudes tremendous aromatic complexity and vertical energy.
Hilt Estate Chardonnay 2019, St. Rita Hills
$44.95
$49.95___ 94 points James Suckling This has lots of verve and brightness, with sliced green apple and pear, as well as matchstick. It’s medium-bodied with tangy acidity. Creamy texture and an intense finish. 92 points Jeb Dunnuck The 2019 Chardonnay Estate offers a clean, crisp, vibrant style as well as classic citrus, white flowers, and salty mineral-like aromas and flavors. This quintessential, classic Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay will keep for a decade.
Jayson Chardonnay By Pahlmeyer 2021, Napa Valley
$50.40
$58.00___ 93 James Suckling Sliced cooked apple with some apple puree and apple blossom as well as lemon rind on the nose. Medium-bodied with creamy texture. Flint and mineral flavors. Good acidity and energy. Hints of fresh straw underneath.
Jordan Chardonnay 2021, Russian River Valley
$28.00
$31.50___ One of the most balanced Jordan Chardonnays to date. Flavors of juicy citrus, Asian pear and lemon peel balance seamlessly with the subtle French oak notes. The cooler-climate vineyard sourcing this year brings even more lively acidity and purity of fruit on the palate—making this vintage especially food-friendly and cellar-worthy.
La Folette Chardonnay Los Primeros 2021, Sonoma County
$20.00
$22.50___ A beautiful pale straw color and day bright, the wine is super clean. The nose has hints of lemon yogurt, pineapple and yellow pear. In the mouth, the pear, pineapple and lemon remain with the addition of ripe honeydew melon and a tinge of salinity on the finish.
Lloyd Cellars Chardonnay 2022, Carneros
$32.50
$36.50___ Layers of tropical fruits, pear, and apple wrap around refreshing acidity and fresh lemon, all supported by rich notes of vanillin leading into a powerful, yet elegant finish.
Lucia Chardonnay Estate Cuvee By Pisoni 2021, Santa Lucia Highlands
$42.95
$48.00___ 94 Points - Wine Spectator: "A stunning white, succulent and juicy, like biting into a perfectly ripe Bosc pear, with details of apple, mango, peach and dried apricot that add complexity, while grace notes of salted butter, honeysuckle, lanolin and spices linger on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2030. 396 cases made." 92 Points - Wine Enthusiast: Lovely aromas of Asian pear, delicate white lily, lime pith and river water invite the nose into this bottling. There's an impressively chalky texture on the palate, giving balance to the ripe apple and pineapple flesh flavors.
Lucia Chardonnay Sobranes Vineyard By Pisoni 2021, Santa Lucia Highlands
$55.00
$62.00___ The distinctly rocky soils of this classic Santa Lucia Highlands vineyard shine again; this time in the form of the 2021 Lucia Soberanes Vineyard Chardonnay. Packed within a pale lemon hue and tinges of youthful green, this wine offers brazen aromas of lime zest, crisp pear, and stone fruits up front while undertones of marzipan and chalky minerals develop as moments pass. On the palate, this Chardonnay is driven by striking notes of lemon meringue, red apple, and a hint of toasted vanilla bean. Enjoy over time as subtleties gain depth and power. The wine culminates in a textured and long finish that is carried along by vibrant acidity.
Mansfield Dunn Chardonnay "Cortada Alta Vineyard" 2018, Santa Lucia Highlands
$28.00
$31.50___ Vinous 93 Points From the Winery Our second vintage of Cortada Alta Chardonnay opens with a rich and complex nose of grilled lemon, ripe apples, fresh grapefruit, toasted almonds alongside spicy nutmeg and ginger. Its high-elevation heritage shows through with crisp stone fruits that reflect Cortada Alta’s growing season. The palate features notes of ripe pineapple, grapefruit zest, and lemon curd that all transition seamlessly to a long, dense finish.
Mt. Beautiful Chardonnay 2016, Canterbury New Zealand
$18.00
$21.00___ 91 Decanter Lovely fruit concentration on the nose leads to a lingering palate full of stone fruit and moreish complexity. Good crispness and it will evolve with time, despite the touch of heat on the finish. 90 James Suckling Plenty of ripe, grilled-peach and nectarine aromas here and a fleshy and soft palate that delivers fresh, easy-drinking style.
Mt. Beautiful Chardonnay 2019, Canterbury New Zealand
$18.00
$21.00___ Wine Enthusiast 92 Points This is a classy Chard from the cool climes of North Canterbury. It's a rich, concentrated wine but one with depth and elegance. It takes its time opening, gradually revealing melon and grapefruit, backed by subtle toasty oak spice and wet stone mineral nuances. As it warms the fruit really sits in the driver's seat. The palate is highly textural and buoyed by crystalline acidity.
Orogeny Chardonnay 2021, Russian River Valley
$25.95
$28.95___ The cool and foggy Russian River Valley is a haven for Burgundian-style varietals. Well-drained soils, warm afternoons and nights cooled by Pacific fog yield Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with pure, crystalline flavors. Winemaker Matthew Glynn has sought out small, exceptional vineyards, meticulously planted, cultivated and harvested, to bring out the true terroir expression of this appellation.
Paul Hobbs Chardonnay 2018, Russian River
$43.95
$49.00___ Robert Parker 93 Points The 2018 Chardonnay has pretty scents of dried leaves, hay and almonds with underlying spicy notes and a core of honeyed white peaches. Medium-bodied, the palate is silky in texture with savory, spicy character, seamless freshness and a long finish. 6,158 cases produced. Drink now through 2026
Peju Chardonnay 2020, Napa Valley
$26.00
$28.95___ A luscious Chardonnay, this wine presents a mouthwatering bouquet of panna cotta, lemon curd, and lime zest. Combined nuances of honey crisp apple, butterscotch, and minerality create a round and elegant palate. The silky-smooth mouthfeel is met with a crispness that leaves you wanting more.
Plumpjack Chardonnay Reserve 2020, Napa Valley
$49.50
$55.00___ The PlumpJack Reserve Chardonnay 2020 is a fantastic Napa Chardonnay. Aromas of white peaches, pear, orange blossom and warm apple pie filling are followed on the palate with flavors of Fuji apples, cinnamon stick and lemon curd. Very pleasant to drink now but the acidity gives it room to age.
Rombauer Chardonnay 2022, Carneros
$34.00
$37.95___ Ripe peach, citrus fruits, spice, and pie crust aromas all mingle and lift from the glass. The citrus, supported by notes of apricot, continues on the palate which is concentrated with a rich, creamy middle palate, and strong supporting acidity. The finish is long and marked with hints of vanilla. This wine will continue to build richness as it ages in the bottle.
Sean Minor Chardonnay 2021, Central Coast
$13.25
$14.95___ Tasting Notes from the Winery Our Central Coast Chardonnay is a light golden straw hue and displays aromas of pear, apple, tropical citrus and pineapple with subtle notes of vanilla. On the entry, crisp vibrant flavors of guava, pear and green apple integrate well with a touch of minerality and a medium body mouth feel. These flavors linger to provide a full and lengthy finish.
Sean Minor Chardonnay Signature Series 2021, Sonoma Coast
$20.50
$22.95___ Wine Enthusiast 92 Points Matching gorgeous ripe fruits with handsome oak spice and butter accents, this full-bodied and complete wine is a classic Californian. Vanilla, cardamom and toasted-baguette aromas lead to poached pears, peach syrup and cream flavors on a melted texture.
Simonnet Febvre Chablis Grand Cru Preuses 2018, Burgundy France
$82.53
$92.00___ Wine Enthusiast 95 Points Scents of green apple and summer blossom play above the chalky nose of this wine, promising a gentle touch. The palate is concentrated and buffered with layers of chalkiness and yeast, all brightened by lemon. Texture, chalk and roundness are the chief markers here that will serve the wine well for the future. Drink by 2040.
Solena Chardonnay 2020, Willamette Valley Oregon
$20.00
$22.50___ Classy Chardonnay for the price! From the winery: The 2020 Willamette Valley Chardonnay is a blend from several of the region’s best vineyards and thus provides complex aromas and flavor. On the nose, this wine begins with an abundance of tropical fruit and floral notes that leap from the glass. Bright acidity and subtle minerality mesh with fresh fruit notes of white peach and Meyer Lemon to provide a complete and balanced palate.
Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay "Russian River Ranches" 2022, Sonoma
$20.50
$22.95___ Fresh, intense aromas with floral highlights of acacia blossoms move quickly to more traditional Chardonnay aromas of pear, peach, and apple. Tropical notes of guava and toasted coconut are joined by hints of lemongrass and vanilla. The wine is beautifully balanced, delicate yet rich and creamy with well integrated oak. The many pleasures offered by blending our Russian River vineyards brings classic lemon-lime flavors with a slight hint of honey and butter mid-palate. A touch of creme fresh enhances our fruit-forward style, with mineral notes in a distinctive lingering finish.
Talbott Chardonnay 'Sleepy Hollow' 2021, Santa Lucia Highlands
$23.00
$25.95___ 92 Wine Enthusiast Subtle aromas of lemon peel, Asian pear and honeysuckle draw the nose into this bottling from an iconic vineyard. A bright spritz of lime and a firm tension meet with underripe pineapple and sea salt on the palate. 90 James Suckling A rather dense and fruity chardonnay with lots of richness with yogurt, cooked apple and nuttiness. Full-bodied with lots of fruit and a straightforward finish. A little old school, but plenty going on for those of you who like full-throttled chards. Drink now.
Tan Fruit Chardonnay Cuvee Tan Fruit 2021, Willamette Valley Oregon
$39.00
$43.50___ Robert Parker 97 Points The 2021 Chardonnay Cuvée Tan Fruit comes from Dijon vines in the Maresh Vineyard, planted on a south-facing slope in 1991, plus a number of other sources around Willamette Valley. Bottled a few months earlier than the other Tan Fruit Chardonnays, its savory aromas explode from the glass: a core of peachy fruit is streaked with touches of candle smoke, matchstick, pie crust and floral tones. Medium-bodied, seamless and satiny, it flows effortlessly through the mouth with both depth of flavor and freshness. It has a pleasing touch of grip to anchor the long finish and feels like it has more to give as it unwinds in bottle over the next several years. Drink 2025 till 2040.
The Critic Chardonnay 2020, Napa Valley
$17.50
$19.95___ Green apple and apricot on the nose are evident, with a very subtle hint of almond. On the palate, the oak offers a classic expression of creaminess, but the acidity is bright enough to keep this wine well-rounded and balanced.
Vie Di Romans Chardonnay Vie Di Romans 2020, Italy
$43.95
$48.95___ 95 points James Suckling! Lots of deep fruit in this chard with apple-puree, pie-crust, and vanilla-bean character. Full and layered with beautiful fruit and a long, intense finish. Drink now or hold. 95 points Robert Parker! Polished, clear and silky, the Vie di Romans 2020 Friuli Isonzo Chardonnay Vie di Romans is a beautifully balanced wine that gives equal weight to the intensity and quality of the fruit and the abundantly enriched texture of the mouthfeel. This is Chardonnay presented in 360-degree splendor with peach, melon, honey, pastry crust and cream custard. Ten months of aging on the yeasts gives the wine added dimension and opulent richness. Saffron, spice, cumin and fragrant sandstone are intermingled on the long and silky finish. Drink now-2030
Walter Scott Chardonnay Koosah Eola-Amity Hills 2021, Willamette Valley
$71.95
$79.95___ Robert Parker 97-99 Points The 2021 Chardonnay Koosah Vineyard—the first iteration of this single-vineyard wine from Walter Scott—is already impressive from tank. Youthful hints of matchstick give way to intense aromas of white peach, jasmine, spring butter and crushed almonds. The medium-bodied palate balances layers of perfumed fruit with electric acidity, and its satiny, mouth-coating texture drives a very long finish. This Chardonnay offers an intoxicating combination of power and energy, and I can't wait to see how it performs from bottle.
Walter Scott Chardonnay La Combe Verte 2021, Willamette Valley Oregon
$32.00
$36.50___ Robert Parker 96 Points The 2021 Chardonnay La Combe Verte opens from matchstick to intense peach perfume and nuances of beeswax, almonds and acacia. The medium-bodied palate explodes with layer after layer of powerful fruit, delivered in a luxuriously silky texture and tempered by focused acidity. The Combe Verte offers fantastic length, concentration and energy!
William Harrison Chardonnay "Sangiacomo Vineyard" 2019, Carneros
$25.95
$28.95___ The lineage for both of our Chardonnay sources can be traced back to Livermore's Wente vineyards. In Catarina Ranch, the Sangiacomo Family planted Clone 17, better known as the Robert Young selection, and in their El Novillero vineyard, it's the workhorse Clone 4 variety. Whole cluster pressed, barrel fermented and aged in 30% new oak, this wine boasts classic aromas of lemon zest and pineapple up front, with a subtle nuance of creme brulee underneath. Allowing half of it to finish malolactic fermentation gives this Chardonnay a slightly rounder texture, offsetting its naturally bright acidity.
William Harrison Chardonnay "Sangiacomo Vineyard" 2020, Carneros
$26.50
$28.95___ The lineage for both of our Chardonnay sources can be traced back to Livermore's Wente vineyards.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc
Amici Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, Napa Valley
$42.50
$47.50___ Robert Parker 94 Points The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it charges out of the gate with loads of blueberry preserves and stewed black plums notes on the nose with faint suggestions of redcurrant jelly and rose hip tea plus a waft of wild sage. Full-bodied and jam-packed with ripe black and blue fruit, it has a soft texture and perfumed finish. James Suckling 93 Points Perfumed cabernet with aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries, raspberries, thyme, violets, crushed stones and cloves. Full-bodied with firm, grainy tannins. Structured and concentrated. Better after 2023.
B V Georges Latour Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Rutherford Napa Valley
$99.95
$115.00___ 98James Suckling Blackberry, blackcurrant and mint with some sage and crushed-stone undertones. Full-bodied with chewy tannins that are in-check and nicely polished. Smoke, toasted oak and bark at the end, complementing the fresh yet ripe fruit. Vinous 98 The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private Reserve is fabulous. Inky, rich and explosive, Inky red fruit, chocolate, leather and licorice all open in the glass. Aeration brings out floral top notes, raspberry and a hint of blood orange. There is plenty of depth, but the tannins are finer than they were a few years ago. Shorter time on the skins and a reduction in barrel fermentations really allow the pedigree of these Rutherford sites to come through. The 2018 is sensational. Wine Enthusiast 97 Jeb Dunnuck 97 Robert Parker 96+
Behrens Family Winery Cabernet Sauvignon "The Anchor" 2016, Napa Valley
$53.95
$59.95___ Robert Parker 93 Points The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon The Anchor is deep purple-black colored and a little closed to start, giving way to a core of black plums, warm black cherries and cassis with hints of pencil lead, sautéed herbs and cedar chest. Big, concentrated and jam-packed with bold, black fruit, it has a firm frame of chewy tannins and long earth-laced finish. Vinous 92 Points An addition to the range, the 2016 The Anchor is a tasty wine meant to deliver terrific quality at a reasonable price. The 2016 certainly achieves that goal.

$32.95

Crescere Cabernet Sauvignon Reynoso Vineyard 2017, Alexander Valley
$156.95
$174.00___ Jeb Dunnuck 95 Points Deep color, spicy nose with a dark profile of blackberry and black current and tons of spices from the French oak, the wine also shows tobacco notes, roasted coffee beans and Christmas spices. The palate is dense, concentrated, and powerful with a solid core of tannins front to back, creating a lot of tension in the wine. The dark fruit profile, layers of spices and hint of sweetness round out the palate and create this full-bodied, complex wine. The unique minerality profile and acidity lifts the wine and creates a long finish. A predominantly Cabernet driven Bordeaux style blend from the hillside vineyards created this powerful wine that will need another year or two to relax in the bottle before showing everything it has to offer, and will also age for the next two to three decades.

Dunn Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, Howell Mountain
$181.00
$202.00___ 98 International Wine Report 98 points Vinous The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is outrageously beautiful. A wine of extraordinary purity, the 2019 dazzles right out of the gate. The tannins are nearly silky for a young Howell Mountain Cabernet. Red/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, rose petal and pomegranate all build in this sumptuous, explosive Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2019 is one of the most elegant Cabernets I have tasted here, and that is saying something What a wine! 96 points Wine Spectator and No. 6 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2023*** Lushly fruited, this sends waves of crushed plum, boysenberry compote and blackberry paste out from the core, with a strong undercurrent of cast iron and smoldering tobacco to boot. Grippy and dense, but with a sense of polish and a note of purity in the guise of a pretty violet echo. *Highly Recommended*

Galerie Cabernet Sauvignon "Latro"2016, Knights Valley
$37.50
$42___ Jeb Dunnuck 95 Points The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Latro is in the same ballpark yet has more savory characteristics as well as plenty of conifer, California bay leaf, currants, and loamy soil aromas and flavors. This full-bodied beauty has plenty of tannin, terrific purity of fruit, no hard edges, and a great finish. Give it a few years. Robert Parker 93 Points One-hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Latro Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon gives up notions of crushed red and black currants, warm plums and baked cherries with touches of garrigue, dusty soil and bay leaves. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm and grainy with lovely freshness and great intensity in the mouth, leading to a long, purely fruited finish.

$53.50
$59.95___ 94 James Suckling Aromas of currants, blackberries and violets follow through to a medium body and firm, tight tannins that give it length and structure. This needs time to soften.

Drink now through 2029. 7,750 cases made.
Jayson Cabernet Sauvignon By Pahlmeyer 2019, Napa Valley
$76.50
$85.00___ James Suckling 95 A plush, full-bodied red with currant, olive, walnut and chocolate-nut character. It’s full and layered with so much unctuous fruit, but not heavy nor overpowering. Delicious and satisfying now, but will age nicely. Jeb Dunnuck 93 The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Jayson is terrific, with ripe currant and smoky black fruits supported by ample tobacco, lead pencil, and roasted herb-like nuances. Robert Parker 92 Pahlmeyer's 2019 Jayson Cabernet Sauvignon features notes of vanilla, cedar and black cherries—just a wonderfully harmonious swirl of flavors. It's full-bodied, rich and velvety, maybe a bit open-knit, but delicious and fun to drink. Wine Spectator 91

This wine’s elegance, acidity and spice notes complement grilled or roasted dishes, such as coq au vin, lamb ragu or roasted salmon with miso. The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon’s earthiness even complements vegetarian dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mushroom risotto and ratatouille. Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec
Krutz Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, Napa Valley

Long Shadows Feather Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Columbia Valley Washington
$57.00
$63.50___ Jeb Dunnuck 95 Points' The classic 2018 Feather 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. Vinous 95 Points Wine Enthusiast 93 Points
Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, Mt. Veeder
$164.00
$183.00___ Vinous 97 The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a pretty rich, bombastic wine, especially for Mayacamas. A blast of dark fruit, incense, tobacco, licorice, spice and mocha hits the palate. I would give the 2019 at least a few years in bottle to settle down, as it is quite the powerhouse today. This is an unusually flamboyant wine with plenty of richness and a bit less in the way of subtlety. The opulence of the vintage comes through loud and clear. Wine Spectator 96 Loaded with character and energy, this version reveals heavy notes of zesty sweet bay leaf and sassafras that infuse a core of steeped red currant and mulberry fruit, all carried by bright acidity and iron-laced tannins. The long finish pulls everything together, with the fruit, savory and mineral elements in harmony. Showing an old-school touch, this has a long life ahead. Best from 2025 through 2045. Robert Parker 94
Mollydooker Cabernet Sauvignon Maitre D 2021, McLaren Vale Australia
$27.00
$30.00___ The “Maitre D” was named after Sparky, who put himself through winemaking college as a left-handed waiter. A deep blend of red and purple colors and abundant aromas introduces us perfectly to this beautiful Cabernet. Rich and complex in flavor, notes of cherry and blackberry transition to mixed herbs, bramble and mocha, complemented by a delicious dimension of sweet fruit. Soft smooth on the palate, the 2021 “Maitre D” balances flavor and structure perfectly.
Napanook Cabernet Sauvignon Estate By Dominus 2018, Napa Valley
$81.95
$91.50___ Jeb Dunnuck 94 Points The 2018 Napanook showed incredibly well, with fabulous creme de cassis, spring flowers, graphite, and green tobacco aromas and flavors. With terrific ripeness, medium to full body, and ripe, yet polished tannins, this beauty should be snatched up by savvy readers. Robert Parker 93+ Points Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Napanook leaps from the glass with vivacious scents of fresh blueberries, blackcherries, crushed blackcurrants and redcurrant jelly with hints of pencil shavings, red roses and dusty soil plus a waft of bay leaves. Medium-bodied, the palate is very tightly wound, allowing glimpses at loads of mineral and savory nuances among the taut black and red fruit notes, supported by fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing with a compelling herbal lift.

Orin Swift Cabernet Sauvignon Palermo 2021, Napa Valley
$52.95
$59.95___ Robert Parker 90 Points Traditionally, Palermo included wine that didn't make it into Mercury Head or Papillon, but winemaker Dave Phinney now buys some fruit specifically targeted for this bottling. The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Palermo—a blend of estate-grown and purchased fruit aged 11 months in 34% new oak—includes small proportions of Merlot and Malbec. Offering up cherries, cassis and slightly earthy scents, plus hints of cinnamon and nutmeg on the nose, it's full-bodied and nicely balanced, with its firmness matched by softness. It's just a nice drink overall. Best After 2023
Orin Swift Mercury Head Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, Napa

Medium to full-bodied, the palate has wonderful intensity and depth with loads of mineral sparks among the crunchy black and blue fruits, supported by firm, grainy tannins, finishing long and earthy. Impressive!
Patrimony Cabernet Sauvignon Adelaida District 2018, Paso Robles
$249.50
$280.00___ Tasting Panel 100 Points With a prolonged hang time – and the latest harvest to date on Daou Mountain – this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is not only concentrated, but silky & ultra-generous in fruit & aromatics. The dazzling texture of Devil’s Food cake, boysenberry preserves, offers a most sensual mouthfeel that is more of a caress than a grip. The wine’s inherent calcareous nature weaves its chalky minerality through a field of violets & sweet tobacco. Aged 30 months in an assortment of high end French oak barrels, with extra tight grain & a medium-long toast. Robert Parker 98+ Points The 2018 Patrimony is an extraordinarily long, layered & pure Cabernet Sauvignon. Made entirely from free-run juice, it offers stunning aromatics: blueberry & blackberry preserves are accented by garrigue, wildflowers & meaty tones, with pure wafts of mint chocolate. The palate has a bursting sensation from its fresh acidity and chocolaty tannins, driving you to take another sip.
Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon 2017, Napa Valley
$98.00
$109.95___ Vinous 94 The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is a gorgeous, inviting wine, but it is also going to need a few years in bottle to shed some of its formidable tannins. Black cherry, plum, graphite, pencil shavings, crème de cassis and menthol open up in the glass, but only with great reluctance. Patience will be the key here. James Suckling 94 A solid cabernet with currants and berries, blue fruit and lavender. Medium-to full-bodied, solid and beautiful. Creamy and very long. Wine Spectator 92 Well-built, with the vintage's warm and forward plum and blackberry preserve profile leading the way, while lush melted licorice and sweet spice accents fill in on the finish. A purely fruit-driven version, but the balance is there. Robert Parker 91 Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley comes strolling out of the glass with easy-breezy notions of Black Forest cake, blackberry pie, cardamom and damp soil plus hints of pencil shavings and bay leaves.

Inky dark fruit, mocha, espresso, leather and licorice infuse the 2019 with notable character. This deep, potent Cabernet delivers the goods, big time. 95 Jeb Dunnuck The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate showed brilliantly, with a ripe, sexy, full-bodied profile that’s just about impossible to resist. Deep purple-hued with lots of red, black, and blue fruits, it shows exotic notes of iron, orange blossom, and chocolate with time in the glass. These all carry to a perfectly balanced, layered 2019 with velvety tannins and the richer style of the vintage front and center. A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, and the rest Malbec, it’s going to evolve for two decades. 94Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Ramey Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Napa Valley
$51.95
$58.00___ 94Wine Enthusiast This wine vastly overdelivers on its price point—a rarity in its category and peers. Made from grapes throughout the appellation, the majority from St. Helena, it blends in small amounts of Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cab Franc. Turned earth, pungent tobacco leaf and currant define its savory, substantially structured elegance that offers room to age. 93Robert Parker The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon also contains 8% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc and was aged 28 months in 48% new French oak. Deep ruby in color, it has very pure, layered aromas of raspberry and cherry preserves with notes of cardamom, aniseed and rose petals. The full-bodied palate is intensely layered and perfumed, seamless and long. It's an elegant rendition of an appellation-wide Cabernet Sauvignon from what can be a rich, powerful vintage in Napa. 92Wine Spectator 92Jeb Dunnuck
Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville The Estates 2019, Oakville
$76.50
$85.00___ #6 on Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2022 & 94 Points This wine marks a comeback for the venerable Robert Mondavi Winery, with its first appearance in our Top 100 since 2011. Winemaker Nova Cadamatre helped oversee significant replanting in the famed To Kalon vineyard during her tenure (she left the winery in 2021). As young vine parcels came into production, she employed a strict selection for the winery’s The Reserve, instead feeding the new-parcel fruit into the middle-tier Oakville bottling (renamed The Estates starting with the 2018 vintage). Relying on organic farming practices, with native yeast fermentations and no filtration at bottling, this is very much a new and promising Mondavi.

Sean Minor Pinot Noir 2022, Sonoma Coast
$21.00
$23.50___ Tasting Panel 93 Points Not long ago, critics and reviewers were complaining - with justification - that California Pinots were generally becoming too rich and chunky at the cost of the delicacy that has long been the variety's primary virtue. Clearly the message got through, as the stylistic center of gravity has shifted back toward lithe wines with less wood and more moderate ripeness and weight. This is a superb object lesson in that shift, showing subtly spicy aromas, satisfyingly impactful flavors within a truly light body, and fine-grained tannins that offer a bit of grip on the finish.

$39.95___ "This single-vineyard Brut Nature sparkling wine, with less than 3 g/L residual sugar, was bottled unfiltered. It is a wine that transparently speaks of a special place, a specific vintage, an expression inspired by my favorite Grower Champagnes. Brilliant, light copper. Lively ripe to candied peach & citrus fruit with a sweet custard or cheese pastry backing. Hints of lees, herbs & pleasant oxidation mingle with the bright, fresh fruit (i.e. a recently cut apple versus a day old apple). Energetic & intense. Texturally rich & savory with miso notes & saline acid that is resolved & well-integrated. Pure, dynamic & finessed with a slightly dry but quenching finish that is exceptionally flavorful & persistent. This wine is already showing the lightly autolytic character you would expect from a reserve wine that has aged much longer. This is the result of fermenting & aging the base wine on the lees for ten months in neutral oak barrels before tirage bottling,

Pessemist Red Wine By Daou 2020, Paso Robles
$9.75
$10.95___ Wine Enthusiast 90 Points Dense elderberry, charred meat and smoky wood aromas combine on the nose of this always enjoyable and attention-grabbing bottling. Black plum and roasted blackberry flavors meet with a stemmy herb touch on the ripe palate.
Prisoner Red Wine 2019, Napa Valley (375 Ml)
$24.00
26.95___ Could The Prisoner Red Blend be in the proverbial "sweet" spot? Since its arrival into the marketplace in 2000, this wine became an instant star, albeit controversial in some quarters of the wine world because of perceived sweetness. Many of my closest wine pals also decried that the wine was too extracted. While the wine flirts a bit beyond the standard threshold residual sugar level, this wine is pretty tasty and dry in a New World way. The 2019 vintage is the wine's best effort to date, and it signals its long journey to become a wine that everyone can wrap their palate around. This wine brings the force of bold, black fruit, savory spices, and oak onto the palate.
Rombauer Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, Napa Valley (375 Ml)
$33.95
$37.95___ Wine Enthusiast 93 Points This deep and concentrated wine is as smooth as silk, scented with black currants, spearmint and a touch of toast, then soothes the palate with velvety tannins and lush, ripe fruit flavors. While easy to sip, it has a subtle, restrained tannin structure.
Rombauer Chardonnay 2022, Carneros(375ml)
$18.90
$21.00___ Aromas of ripe yellow peach, melon, and chamomile all framed by freshly baked pie crust. The palate is bright with flavors of nectarine, followed by a subtle spice, and lively acidity. The finish leaves you wanting another sip
Rombauer Zinfandel 2020, California (375 Ml)
$16.95
$18.95___ The wine bursts with bright fruit aromas of cherry and red plum, with notes of vanilla, holiday spices, and lavender all jumping out on the nose. Plum flavors continue to the palate, joined by layers of raspberry jam, mocha, clove, and white pepper. The mid-palate is soft and creamy, framed by fine tannins and ending with a long, lush finish that will leave you wanting another sip. Blend: 98% Zinfandel, 2% Petit Sirah
Rosa Regale Sparkling Moscato White Wine NV, Piedmont Italy (187ml)
$5.25
$5.95___ Intense and fruity aroma typical of Muscat grapes with hints of acacia flowers and sage. Sweet, well balanced with a fresh acidity and hints of honey. Perfect with everything from patios to pastries. Also a nice aperitif to enjoy alongside charcuterie.
Rosa Regale Sparkling Red Brachetto NV, Piedmont Italy (187ml)
$5.25
$5.95___ Sweet sparkling wine with light ruby red nuances with a lively and persistent perlage. Both at the nose and in the mouth, all the aromatic peculiarities of the vine are best expressed; intense aromas of Bulgarian rose and berries accompanied by a sweet aftertaste balanced by a good acidity. Perfect dessert wine paired fresh strawberries, fruit salads, fruit pies and small pastries.
Taittinger La Francaise Brut Champagne NV, France (375ml)
$25.25
$28.50___ Tasting Panel 95 Bright and lively, this is one of my favorite non vintage Bruts. Crisp and balanced, with smooth, exuberant, Chardonnay-driven style; racy, elegant, and totally charming; long and memorable. James Suckling 92 A dry, fresh and delicious Taittinger with aromas and flavors of apples, fresh lemons and minerals. Full-bodied. Precise. White pepper and salt at the end. 40% chardonnay and 35% pinot noir, the rest pinot meunier. Three to four years on the lees.
Zonin Brut Prosecco NV, Italy(187 Ml)
$4.50
$5.00___ James Suckling 90 Points Pretty green apples, lemons and limes. Lots of frothy bubbles are a fun accompaniment to the sliced citrus fruit available on the medium-bodied palate.
Grand Tasting
Louis Roederer 243, Champagne
$49.95
$56.95___ $56.95___ James Suckling 94 Dried-lemon, apricot, green-apple, salted-almond, walnut and light caramel notes. Vinous and layered, with small and tight bubbles. Excellent focus and intensity. Jeb Dunnuck 93 The NV Champagne Collection 243 Brut is the third release and is based on the 2018 vintage, with the addition of 30% of the perpetual reserve started in 2012 and 10% reserve wine that has been aged in oak. It is ripe and balanced, with yellow flowers, honeycomb, and plum, and it has elegant concentration and underlying tension, precise mousse, and rich salinity, with lingering notes of croissant and delicate smoke.
