2021 Gravel Series ‘Scholar’s Gate' Cabernet Sauvignon | Cabernet Sauvignon | 2021 | $250 | |
2021 Gravel Series ‘Secret Garden' Cabernet Sauvignon The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Gravel Series Secret Garden is packed with black fruit, gravel, incense, scorched earth, licorice, dried herbs and menthol. | Cabernet Sauvignon | 2021 | $250 | |
2021 Gravel Series ‘The Vow' Cabernet Sauvignon | Cabernet Sauvignon | 2021 | $250 | |
2021 Louis Bovet Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Medium to full-bodied with richness and depth on the palate. I love its tannins, and it has plenty of mid-palate depths and a big finish. It's going to cruise for 15 years in cold cellars. | Cabernet Sauvignon | 2021 | $128 | |
2022 Eric Bovet Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Eric Bovet, from M-Bar Ranch, is excellent. Plush, dark and inviting, the 2022 offers fabulous balance. Plum, black cherry, leather, licorice and chocolate are nicely pushed forward. | Cabernet Sauvignon | 2022 | $150 | |
2022 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Sweet, beautifully integrated tannins frame notes of cassis, currants, blueberries, licorice, and café mocha. This is a ripe wine, but it has the minerality to keep it fresh, and the potential to age nicely for the next 10 to 15 years. | Cabernet Sauvignon | 2022 | $85 | |
2023 Honouren Cabernet Sauvignon The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Honouren is clearly an outstanding wine that supports some great causes. It reveals a terrific perfume of black fruits, chocolate, scorched earth, and graphite. | Cabernet Sauvignon | 2023 | $110 | |
2024 Growers Series Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley Cherry, rhubarb, and strawberry notes dance across the palate with hints of cocoa, soft baking spice and an umami finish. The focused fruit and balanced acidity give this wine exceptional structure and a satisfyingly long finish. | Pinot Noir | 2024 | $80 | |
2022 Growers Series Montepulciano Delicious, intense fruit flavors of strawberry, blackberry, and rhubarb are balanced with hints of black pepper spice, anise, and a hint of thyme. | Red Blend | 2022 | $52 | |
2022 Proprietary Left Bank Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot - This wine exudes bright red fruit and sweet spice upon the nose. Luscious notes of cherry, plum, and blackberry mingle with toasty coffee bean and vanilla on the palate. | Red Blend | 2022 | $88 | |
2022 Proprietary Red Wine Blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot & Cabernet Franc - Bright fruit notes, floral hints, and a rich blackberry-raspberry profile come together with balanced tannins and lively acidity for a perfectly approachable wine. | Red Blend | 2022 | $88 |
