I’m pretty meticulous with my tasting notes but not always the best at archiving these emails. So maybe it slipped through the cracks but I can’t find an example of me ever offering Morgan Peterson-Twain’s Bedrock Old Vine Zinfandel.
Which is shocking because it’s one of my triumvirate of California Zins along with Ridge and Matt Cline’s Three. The common thread is always ridiculously old vines, generally planted by European immigrants during the turn of the last century in sandy soils that were naturally resistant to phylloxera.

And don’t forget their own estate property, the oldest of the bunch was planted in 1888. The wine is always outstanding but in 2021 it’s even better (and higher scored). The wildfires caused the usual vineyard sources in Amador county to be picked early for rose.
The only available solution was to make up the difference with an extra dose of Teldeschi Ranch which composes over 20% of the blend this year. I’ll take that any day.

Spry and briary, this Zinfandel is fun to drink, with lively black cherry, licorice and dried sage flavors, which take on richness and cracked pepper accents toward zesty tannins. Drink now through 2031.

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
Not Eligible for Futher Discount-From famed winemaker, Robert Foley comes an absolute delight of a bottle of wine. A seamless Bordeaux blend of 80% Cabernet, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot that is incredibly smoothly now but should have another decade easy of prime drinking. It is the definition of a Saturday Night bottle of wine. One to cherish for a special occasion.
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.
