A couple of days ago I was touching base with Charlie Wagner & Co. to make sure we had enough Caymus on order (a challenge in and of itself these days) to get us through the Spring. I was lamenting my recent challenges and expecting mutual commiseration, when Charlie simply replied – “Dad’s got a Cabernet close to that price, I’m sure he’d be willing to work something out for you, Nicholas.”
When the samples arrived, I was shocked by the quality of what’s in the bottle. Now don’t get me wrong, this is a wine that is dead center in the style of Caymus and Quilt, etc… so if you like your Cabernets lean, look elsewhere. BUT if you’re a fan of big, plump, Cali Cab with muscle, you’ve just found your fave.
The story is pretty interesting. Chuck has been hunting Cabernet sources for over 50 vintages now and has a short list of extremely interesting and high quality vineyards that are a bit off the beaten pack. Here he’s taken a master blender’s approach – deftly mixing sources and then running them through the Caymus winemaking machine – somehow, defying the odds with a big, bold Cabernet (that with our special pricing) clocks in under twenty bucks.

The 2019 Wentworth Anderson Valley Pinot Noir is a beauty. Made with 100% Estate Grown, organically farmed fruit from Wentworth’s noteworthy Anderson Valley vineyard. It’s made from a variety of different clones: Dijon 115, 667 and Pommard 5, that seamlessly blend to make an exciting, full-bodied Pinot. You can taste the extra flair courtesy of the 1/4 wholecluster fermentation. This is fresh and juicy and fantastic to pair with food.
This is a very, very special library offer from our friends at Val di Suga and is also a very limited one. There are only a few of these amazing six-pack collector’s boxes for sale. Two bottles each from Val di Suga’s three single vineyard sites. Val di Suga is the only Brunello producer that controls three separate estate vineyards located in three specific climate zones in the appellation. Each vineyard site has its own unique exposure and geo-climatic features which expresses itself in every bottle. Not to be missed. *Original wooden boxes come included.*
Winemaker Marjorie Gallet’s Effet Papillon Rouge is a terrific blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignane, harvested from the iron rich soil just outside of Rivesaltes at the base of Pyrenees. This one is a vibrant wine, with aromas of wild black raspberries and sweet spices. The mid palate is rich and velvety, with a core of sweet black fruit that finishes fresh, long and silky. At the price, it’s one of the easier no-brainer case buys we offer.

“This is an exceptional vintage of this exceptional wine, its foundation built around 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, with dustings of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Beautiful in berry fruit, textured and refined tannin and hints of lavender, licorice and sage, it has complexity and energy in equal measure, lengthy and beautifully focused, a truly impressive achievement of site, vintage and winemaker.” -Wine Enthusiast
