I’ve said it a million times, finding great California Cabernet for under $30 a bottle is akin to foraging for chanterelles. But finding an under- $20/btl on cases BEFORE the promo, well that’s like foraging for white truffles. Either way, once you stumble upon a good source, you tell absolutely nobody, and return to the spot as often as you can until it dries up.
I guess you can’t really call it an unknown discovery anymore now that Hope Family Wines sits in the Top 10 of Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 Wines of the Year for 2019. But we have been working on getting our first offer from this winery well before that hit the press.
The 2017 Treana Cabernet Sauvignon from the Hope Family is the definition of a crowd pleaser. I guess that’s why so many buyers have requested I get it in again. It’s got all the big, bold juicy fruit you could possibly want wrapped tight around well-structured tannin – that will also allow this one to continue to age gracefully for a decade.

Aromas of black cherry, caramel sauce, dried herbs and crushed rocks lead into a palate shaped by strong yet relenting tannins. Flavors of oak and more dark cherry ride a silky mouthfeel.
91 Points, Vinous
Deep shimmering ruby. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and dark berries, pipe tobacco and baking spices. Fleshy and appealingly sweet cherry, black currant and floral pastille flavors become more lively as the wine stretches out. Plays richness off finesse and finishes very long and appealingly sweet, with subtle tannins coming in late.
This is the Tuesday Nighter California Cab we’ve been waiting for!

This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.

The oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.
