Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards is a California winery known primarily for its high-end Cabernet Sauvignon. A Napa Valley Cab through and through, this 100% Cabernet from the impressive 2007 vintage is aged for 18 months in 60-gallon French oak barrels.

Calera 2005 Thirtieth Anniversary Vintage ...

Central Coast Pinot Noir. "Producing great wine is our number one priority. There was no question in founder Josh Jensen’s mind that he would plant his first grapes on limestone-rich soil more than 35 years ago. He established Calera as a true pioneer in California Pinot Noir." Tasting notes: Made from a handful of the finest vineyards on the Central Coast, this Pinot Noir displays alluring aromas of ripe black cherry, raspberry, sandalwood and orange zest. On palate the flavors turn dark and luxurious, with layers of blackberry jam and cassis gliding across supple tannins to a lingering cedar and spice finish

2014 KAMEN ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON SONOMA
$209.00
FREE SHIPPING. Our 2014 Cabernet is incredibly balanced and sings from the glass with layers and layers of heady aromas and concentrated flavors. Wild blueberries, tree ripened plums, raspberry popovers, marzipan, graphite, licorice whip, milk chocolate and forest floor. The estate’s hallmark notes of violets and crushed rock are ever present. This wine is supremely generous and approachable in its youth, however, its elegance and power make a strong argument for cellaring over the next 20 years. “The biggest cuvée that Herold makes for Robert Kamen is the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, at 2,100 cases, from a vineyard dominated by the volcanic basalt elevation between 1,100 and 1,500 feet. It sits above the iconic Monte Rosso Vineyard, owned by Gallo. Blueberry and blackberry fruit, forest floor, dusty/loamy notes, roasted herbs and meats all jump from the glass of this opaque purple wine. It’s dense, rich and built for long-term cellaring, this wine can be approached now because it is a 2014, but likely will evolve for 25–30 or more years.” 96+ points.—Robert M. Parker,

1986 Niebaum-Coppola Rubicon Rutherford, Na...
$289.00
FREE shipping. Concentrated and earthy, this is a full-bodied, moderately tannic but complex wine, from the earthy, spicy aromas through the ripe plum and anise flavors and mineral like finish.
Lovers of Inglenook's old wines will recognize the name Niebaum, which refers to that winery's founder, a sea captain named Gustave Niebaum. Francis Coppola acquired much of the property and began reconstructing the estate back in the mid-1970s. Located in Rutherford, this is an exemplary place for Bordeaux varietals in California. The name "Rubicon" is a classical reference to Caesar's march on Rome--'the crossing of the Rubicon'--meant to suggest a point of no return, appropriate for Niebaum-Coppola's flagship production. A proprietary blend, this is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon from the estate's prime vineyard blocks planted to the original Niebaum Cabernet clone, with only small amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Merlot aged 21 months in French oak, of which 55% was new) offers pure black currant fruit and floral notes along with unobtrusive oak, and the attractive sweetness and richness that come from ripe fruit. This pretty, elegant, well-made 2004 is best consumed over the next decade. - Robert Parker.
Production was 10000 cases amazing when you consider how good this mountain wine is. Immediately drinkable for the soft purity of the tannins and complex cassis chocolate and oak flavors it has the sturdy structure to develop for some years but is best now for its elegant purity. Hess is on a real Cabernet roll and is one of Napa's overlooked stars.
