For Ed, a third generation California winemaker himself, couldn’t pass up his dream of starting a project with his son. And away from the Napa Valley machine, he could go back to doing what he loved to do above all, making small lot wine off the tiniest of parcels.
It doesn’t get any smaller than today’s Cabernet, cut exclusively from the steep 10-acre terraced vineyard of the Sbragia family doctor, Dr. Andolsen (I kid you not). Located deep in Dry Creek’s western foothills, the Cab shows off Ed’s favorite blocks and it’s absolutely ridiculous good for the price. This has long been an area where Cabernet has been overlooked for Pinot Noir and Zinfandel, but with Ed and his son at the helm, Sonoma County’s stock is on the rise.
Aged 18 months in new and used French oak barrels, the wine shows off a decadent mix of blue and purple fruits on the nose with a floral component and then layers of black fruit and a hint of sage on the pallet that hits you in waves and finishes long and strong.

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!

Avignonesi’s wines took Nicholas Wines by storm last year with their ‘Grifi’ SuperTuscan, a highly rated, highly delicious bottle that put the winery firmly on my radar. It’s a great bottle of wine, but at this price – it completely overdelivers which is exactly what you’re looking for.
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!

“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous
