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!

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.

Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”
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.
Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
