Acaibo 2017
In stock
Acaibo 2017 is a Sonoma County red wine shaped by a distinctly Bordeaux-minded approach. Gonzague and Claire Lurton bring their Bordeaux background to Chalk Hill, where this estate-bottled wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grown on the property. The style is built around structure, freshness and dark fruit rather than an overtly ripe Californian expression.
The vineyard sits at around 750 feet, between the cooler influence of Russian River and the warmer conditions of Alexander Valley and Knights Valley. Volcanic ash and clay loam soils form the base, while the vineyard is farmed organically with limited irrigation. That combination gives the wine a clear Sonoma origin, handled with notable restraint and precision.

Beaulieu Vineyard Bv Georges De Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
In stock
Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon of Beaulieu Vineyard, released under the Napa Valley appellation. Its identity is closely tied to Rutherford, particularly to the historic BV Ranches No. 1 and No. 2, vineyards associated with Georges de Latour and the early history of the estate.
The 2018 blend is led by Cabernet Sauvignon, with small amounts of Petit Verdot and Malbec. The grapes were grown on well-draining alluvial fan soils on the western bench of Rutherford, then hand-harvested and optically sorted at the winery. Vinification was handled with a clear sense of purpose: part of the wine fermented in new French oak barrels for early oak integration and texture, while stainless steel and concrete (…)Beaulieu Vineyard Bv Georges De Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a serious Napa Valley red with a strong sense of place. It is the flagship cuvée of Beaulieu Vineyard, built around Cabernet Sauvignon from Rutherford, with a small but important share of Petit Verdot adding aromatic depth and presence.
The fruit comes from the historic BV Ranches No. 1 and No. 2, vineyards closely tied to Georges de Latour himself. That Rutherford origin matters here: the wine has power and density, yet the tannins are described as fine, powdery and polished rather than heavy-handed. The 2019 growing season allowed gradual ripening, bringing full flavour development while retaining freshness and structure.
In the cellar, part of the must was fermented in (…)Beaulieu Vineyard Bv Georges De Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Magnum (1,5l)

Beaulieu Vineyard BV Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Magnum is a substantial Napa Valley red in a 1.5 litre bottle.

It is made from 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Petit Verdot, with hand-harvested grapes that were optically sorted. Part of the wine was fermented in new French oak barrels, while stainless steel and concrete tanks were also used to help retain fruit freshness. Maturation lasted 20 months in French oak, 95% of it new, giving the wine its firm structure and polished oak signature.

Beaux Freres The Beaux Freres Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019
In stock
Beaux Freres The Beaux Freres Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019 is a red wine from Oregon with a very precise sense of place. It comes from The Beaux Freres Vineyard in the Ribbon Ridge AVA, part of the Willamette Valley, where Pinot Noir has been planted since 1988.
The 2019 vintage gives this wine a cooler, more classical frame. Beaux Freres describes the season as evenly ripening, with sunshine, moments of rain and cool nights. For Pinot Noir, that kind of growing season helps place the vineyard character at the centre of the wine.
The cellar work follows a low-intervention approach: native yeast fermentation in small vats, no fining and no filtration. Maturation lasted 10 months in French oak barrels, half of them new. The result is a wine shaped by its vineyard, (…)Beaux Freres The Belles Soeurs Cuvee Pinot Noir Ribbon Ridge Ava 2019

Beaux Freres The Belles Soeurs Cuvée Pinot Noir 2019 is a dry red Pinot Noir from the Ribbon Ridge AVA in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Rather than focusing on a single parcel, this cuvée brings together fruit from three estate vineyards: Beaux Freres, Upper Terrace and Sequitur. The producer describes it as a hand-selected barrel reserve, built around the combined character of those estate sites.
The 2019 growing season was marked by even ripening, sunny stretches, refreshing rain and cool nights. Harvest ran from 7 to 27 September. Fermentation took place with indigenous yeasts in small vats, followed by 10 months in French oak barrels, 50% of them new. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered, with total production of 1,225 cases.

Cardinale Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
On request only
Cardinale Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is a Napa Valley red that brings together several voices of the valley rather than speaking from a single site alone. For this vintage, the blend was built from fruit across seven appellations and 32 individual wine lots, including areas such as Diamond Mountain District, Mount Veeder, Howell Mountain, Spring Mountain District, Stags Leap District, St. Helena and Atlas Peak.
The composition is led by Cabernet Sauvignon, making up 90% of the blend, with 10% Merlot contributing to the structure and mouthfeel of the vintage. The wine spent 22 months in French oak, a little over four fifths of it new, placing it firmly among serious Napa Cabernet-based wines with depth, shape and cellar ambition.

Cathiard Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Cathiard Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is an estate-grown Napa Valley red from vineyards in St. Helena and Rutherford, at the foot of the Mayacamas Mountains. It also marks an important moment for Cathiard Vineyard, as 2020 was the first vintage released under the ownership of Florence and Daniel Cathiard.
The wine is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the estate's oldest hillside vineyard, with an average vine age of 35 years. The grapes were hand-harvested, carefully sorted and moved by gravity, followed by gentle extraction during vinification. Maturation lasted 18 months, mostly in new French oak.
Its appeal lies in the way it brings Napa depth together with a precise, structured feel. The available tasting notes point to ripe dark fruit, (…)Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a Napa Valley red built firmly around Cabernet Sauvignon, yet it has more to say than pure varietal power. The blend is 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Petit Verdot, Malbec and Merlot. That gives the wine its dark-fruited core, structure and depth, with the supporting Bordeaux varieties adding colour and concentration.
Signature Cabernet Sauvignon is a long-standing cuvée within the Chappellet range, described by the estate as a cornerstone of its portfolio for more than five decades. For the 2019 vintage, Chappellet links the wine to the dry, rocky soils of Pritchard Hill, where small, concentrated grapes are formed. Leaf and cluster thinning were used in the vineyard to encourage even ripening and aromatic (…)Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a Napa Valley red with a clear connection to Pritchard Hill, the mountainous area near St. Helena where Chappellet is based. The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the estate's core wines, with a name that refers to Donn Chappellet's signature on the label as a promise of quality when the line was introduced.
The 2021 vintage is led by Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Petit Verdot, Malbec and Merlot. Its fruit comes from mountain vineyards with dry, rocky soils, where small, concentrated berries play an important role. The growing season reinforced that character: a very dry winter, a mild spring and summer without damaging heat spikes, and a small crop marked by concentration and structure.

Dalla Valle Maya 2020 is a Napa Valley red with a very clear sense of origin. Maya has been made since 1988 as a Bordeaux-inspired cuvée, and the 2020 vintage is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Cabernet Franc. Its Cabernet Sauvignon core comes from Maya's Vineyard, a five-acre parcel planted in 1987 and named after Maya Dalla Valle.
The site lies on the eastern slopes of Oakville, on volcanic, iron-rich soils. For 2020, the growing season began dry, with a relatively warm spring, followed by warm days and cool Napa evenings. Ripening accelerated in August, bringing an early harvest. The result is described as a dry, powerful and structured Napa Cabernet blend, where Cabernet Sauvignon gives the dark-fruited backbone and Cabernet Franc brings herbal, floral (…)Dalla Valle Vineyards Maya 2018

Dalla Valle Maya 2018 is a Napa Valley red where the vineyard story sits right at the centre of the wine. Maya is the special cuvée of Dalla Valle Vineyards in Oakville, built from Cabernet Sauvignon from the Maya Block and Cabernet Franc from neighbouring parcels. In the 2018 vintage, the blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Cabernet Franc, all sourced from the estate vineyard.
The setting in Oakville's eastern hills gives the wine much of its identity. Iron-rich rocky soils, volcanic ground, clay and old stone support a style that combines dark fruit concentration with a firm mineral, almost ferrous thread. Dalla Valle describes 2018 as a season of slow, even development, allowing colour, aroma and tannin to build gradually.

Favia Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville 2019 is a dry red wine from Napa Valley, but from a corner of Napa with a clearly defined identity. Coombsville lies in the south-eastern part of the valley, where gravelly volcanic soils and the influence of San Pablo Bay help shape the style. Favia describes this cuvée as its pure expression of Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon, made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Favia is the project of viticulturist Annie Favia and winemaker Andy Erickson, established in 2003. Their approach focuses on vineyard expression, gentle handling of the fruit and minimal intervention in the cellar. For the 2019 vintage, the available information mentions native yeast fermentation, 50% new oak, and bottling without fining or filtration. The result is a (…)Illumination 2022

Illumination 2022 is Quintessa's white wine from California, made with fruit from Napa County and Sonoma County. Its identity sits close to a Bordeaux Blanc style, built around Sauvignon Blanc with Sémillon, and with Sauvignon Blanc Musqué playing an important aromatic role in the blend.
There is real detail behind the wine. Part of the fruit comes from Quintessa Estate, including the Las Casas block, supported by partner vineyards in cooler areas of Sonoma and Napa. The grapes were hand-picked, gently whole-cluster pressed, then fermented with native yeasts in a mix of French oak, acacia, concrete egg fermenters and stainless steel. That combination helps explain the contrast in the wine: clear fruit expression, added texture, floral spice and a sense of (…)Illumination Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Illumination Sauvignon Blanc 2021 is Quintessa's white wine from California, made with fruit from Napa County and Sonoma County within the broader North Coast area. Although Sauvignon Blanc defines the name and the core of the wine, this is not a single-varietal bottling. Sauvignon Blanc Musqué, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon are brought together to create a dry white wine with aromatic lift, but also notable texture and depth.
The wine traces back to a small Sauvignon Blanc planting established by Agustin and Valeria Huneeus on the Quintessa estate in Rutherford in 2002. For the 2021 vintage, estate fruit is complemented by vineyards in South Napa and Bennett Valley in Sonoma. The alluvial soils and cooler conditions near the river help explain the fresh, (…)Inglenook Blancaneaux 2019

Inglenook Blancaneaux 2019 is a white wine from Rutherford in Napa Valley, shaped as a white Rhône-style blend. Inglenook has produced Blancaneaux since 1999 as the white counterpart to Rubicon, and that context says a lot about its ambition: this is a carefully composed wine built around Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne.
The fruit comes from estate vineyards, specifically the Apple and Saddle vineyards. These sites receive morning sun and benefit from afternoon cooling in the shadow of Mount St. John. That detail helps explain the wine's combination of aromatic ripeness and freshness.
Marsanne and Roussanne are described by Inglenook as bringing body and minerality, while Viognier adds aromatic lift and tropical fruit. Eight months of lees ageing, (…)Inglenook Blancaneaux 2020

The fruit comes from organically farmed parcels on the Inglenook Estate, including Chateau, Cohn, Creek, Gate, Gio, La Lomita, Lower Cask, Red Barn and Walnut.
There is a strong sense of estate history behind this bottle. Inglenook presents this Cabernet Sauvignon as a tribute to John Daniel Jr., linked to the renowned Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon 1941, and to the Bordeaux cuttings brought to the estate by founder Gustave Niebaum.

Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is the estate Cabernet Sauvignon from Inglenook in Rutherford, Napa Valley. It is not the Rubicon cuvée, but a wine built around the estate's own Cabernet identity. The blend is led by Cabernet Sauvignon with a small proportion of Cabernet Franc, sourced from nine separate vineyard blocks on the Inglenook Estate.
The 2019 growing season began with a wet winter and a cool spring, followed by warmer conditions in August and September. That allowed the different blocks to ripen gradually and be picked in sequence, from Cabernet Franc in Gate through to Cabernet Sauvignon in Red Barn. It gives the wine a clear estate-driven foundation while keeping the focus firmly on Rutherford Cabernet.

Inglenook Rubicon 2018 is the flagship red wine of Inglenook from Rutherford in Napa Valley. Produced since 1978, Rubicon represents the estate's Bordeaux-inspired blend, led by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a small proportion of Petit Verdot.
The fruit comes from several Inglenook estate blocks, including Apple, Bridge, Cask, Cohn, Creek, Gio, Lower Garden and Walnut. That makes Rubicon a broader expression of the estate rather than a wine built around one single vineyard section. It spent 18 months in French oak before being bottled in June 2020.

For Inglenook, 2018 was a generous and even vintage, shaped by moderate warmth and gradual ripening. That matters in a wine like this: the depth and structure are there, but the blend also keeps a sense of freshness and elegance. Eighteen months in French oak, much of it new, adds spice, polish and support to the dark-fruited core.

The 2019 growing season brought gradual, even ripening, with the harvest for Rubicon spread over 36 days.

Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is a Napa Valley red that shows why this St. Helena producer is so closely associated with Californian Cabernet. Despite the varietal name, the wine is built as a Cabernet Sauvignon-led Bordeaux blend: 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, with small additions of Cabernet Franc and Malbec.
The fruit comes from estate and grower vineyards across Napa Valley, including St. Helena, southern Napa Valley, Oak Knoll District and Stags Leap District. Joseph Phelps described 2018 as a cool, mild vintage, with a slower growing season and longer hang time.

The blend is led by Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by small amounts of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec.
