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!

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
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!
