2023 Pulido-Walker Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery Notes- A plentiful yield and larger berries can require extra e ort in the cellar to achieve optimal extraction, but that was not the case in 2023. e fruit was so fully developed, extraction was e ortless. From the very rst taste, it was clear: this vintage is something special. e wine opens with oral and tobacco nuances accented by savory notes of bay leaf and a pleasing smokiness. Blue-fruited and juicy, it showcases all the signature elements we love about Mt. Veeder yet free from the angular tannins sometimes associated with this rugged AVA. e result is a wine of exceptional balance, where vibrant acidity, layered concentration, and mountain-grown elegance come together seamlessly. Polished, expressive, and true to its site, the 2023 Pulido~Walker Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon o ers both immediate appeal and long-term promise. It’s a wine that will captivate today and reward a decade from now—a truly memorable vintage.$274.902 -
2023 Castiel Estate Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery Notes- The 2023 Castiel Estate Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant powerhouse that perfectly showcases the sophistication and complexity of these two high-elevation vineyards. Upon approach, it opens with expressive dark aromatics of graphite, dark chocolate, crushed rocks, and black fruits that are seamlessly blended with pronounced classic mountain freshness, wild herb and savory complexities. On the palate, the mountain tannins are pronounced, yet they feel completely dissolved and polished giving the wine a deep, textural and incredibly concentrated mouthfeel without any hard edges or heaviness. There is a stunningly beautiful core of natural sweetness in this wine that is layered with undertones of forest floor and violets. The integration of the French oak and vibrant acidity lead to a finish that literally does not quit. The 2023 Castiel Estate Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is one of those rare offerings that can be enjoyed upon its initial release after a short decant or can effortlessly age for the next 30 years or more.$149.901 -

2020 Casanova di Neri Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino (Was $160)
Winery Notes- Intense and young in color, the Tenuta Nuova 2020 opens to the nose with cloves, bay leaf and wild blackberries, followed by hints of almonds and cherry. In the mouth it is ample and generous with velvety, fine and vibrant tannins. The finish is fragrant and extraordinarily long, leaving an evident trace of licorice and small red fruits.$129.9022 -
2020 Saxum G2 Willow Creek District Rhône Blend
Winery Notes- This vineyard keeps getting stronger and stronger as the vines mature and we get a handle on taming this rugged, mountainous fruit. It’s definitely more black fruit focused than the JBV, and a little more dense and chewy, not quite as savory, but it still has a nice loamy earth side to it. I think it’s a show stopper. The tannins are remarkable but will definitely benefit from a few years of aging (as will all of our wines). A real banger.$194.902 -
