“The nose brings both fruit and warmth, as aromas of strawberries, cherries and hibiscus flirt with notes of dark chocolate, orange peel and stones basking in the sun. On the palate, a wave of cranberries brings astringency that freshens a persistent streak of stoniness, before the chocolate returns for the finish. The firm, imposing tannins creep up slowly, maintaining depth without weight.” -Wine Enthusiast

“Tobacco, truffle, violet and hints of mocha and cherry pie unfold on this beautiful Brunello. Classically crafted and elegantly structured, it delivers flavors of ripe Morello cherry, wild raspberry, baking spice and licorice alongside enveloping, refined tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it nicely balanced. Drink 2028–2039. -Kerin O’Keefe
The 2021 Atlas Peak Cabernet is a classic. It’s black in color, with a dynamic nose of cassis, cedar, and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The wine is fabulously concentrated with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging. Ry hit this one out of the park.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.

Castello di Bossi’s 2020 Chianti Classico is shaping up to a be an absolute classic in a great year in Tuscany. Three scores of 91 points or more are attached to this one, with James Suckling leading the way. In his 93-point write-up, Suckling called it “full and savory with lovely fruit and real Chianti Classico character.” That’s right on the money. What I like about it is that it’s beautifully concentrated yet manages to stay fresh and long on the palate, with long, silky tannins and a nice firm acidic backbone. The balance here is on point- with lots of fresh red fruit coming through amongst some bramble and sage.

A Cabernet Sauvignon dominant blend, this is a gorgeous cuvee that is rounded out by Sangiovese and Merlot. This is not to get confused with the regular Prelius – this is a special bottling and a few steps agave it. It combines the iconic estate of Castello di Volpaia in Maremma with the magical talents of consulting winemaker Ricardo Cotarella, the best in all of Italy.

The baseline Malbec is a killer value – a Big Red that hits far beyond its modest price tag. Double 91 points from both James Suckling and Parker’s Wine Advocate, with the latter calling it a “nice combination of spice, berry and herbs to make it balanced, expressive and attractive.”
Our special relationship with the Wagner family has granted us incredible access for the Caymus Family’s newest release – the California Cabernet! Realizing that the costs of the Napa Valley were continuing to rise at a rapid rate, the Wagners focused on finding an answer – a classic, opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet that comes from more regions than just Napa. With the Wagner’s long list of vineyards and resources, it couldn’t make any more sense. This is a textbook, full-bodied, Caymus Cabernet, that is the next big hit for the family.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
The 2021 Walking Fool is a beauty that is as big as its ever been in the fantastic 2021 vintage in and around Napa. This baby was aged for 18 months in a blend of both neutral and new and American and French Oaks. The American oak is what takes this wine to the next level– adding expressive aromas of sweet spice and earth. It’s a BIG RED with jammy cherry and blackberry fruits, licorice, brown sugar, and notes of toasted oak.

The rocky volcanic soils of Pritchard Hill, coupled with meticulous vineyard management, result in low-yield, high-quality grapes that express the true essence of their terroir. By embracing organic and biodynamic principles, Chappellet nurtures a healthy ecosystem where vines thrive naturally, yielding fruit of unparalleled purity and intensity.

“Quietly powerful, dense with alluring oak spices and late-picked fruit flavors, this full-bodied, velvet-textured Cabernet-dominant blend is generous and inviting to drink, but also balanced and structured for the long haul. Concentrated, deep and layered, it is meant for drinking with appreciative friends or family in the future. Best from 2027–2040.”
