$99.90
Use code TEN for 10% OFF. It comes from our Grand Cru vineyards, planted with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. After 7 months for the first fermentation in small steel tanks, it rests for about 60 months, aging, maturing and refermenting in the bottle, in contact with selected lees, in the darkness and silence of the Cellar.
Millesimato made of 55 % Chardonnay and 45 % Pinot Noir, at the same time powerful and delicious. This wine has a robust structure and a great personality, between tasting complexity and an extraordinary pleasantness, in total absence of sugars: notes that are combined with a long aftertaste that blends harmoniously with its fresh minerality. Our Pas Dosé Riserva is the most eminent and representative product of the Ca’ d’Or sensory richness. It has an intense golden yellow color with copper hues. Made in purity, gives intense and complex fragrances on the nose, with peculiar notes of green tobacco, walnut and cassis recalls. The palate is elegant, harmonious, with a great body, structure and sapidity. Very fine bubbles and refined elegance. The finish is long, strong and perfectly balanced. Very limited stock .

94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley has a dense opaque purple color, a kiss of blackberry and cassis fruit, a full-bodied mouthfeel with ripe tannin and a long finish. It is very Caymus in its immediate accessibility, but has plenty of staying power and depth. This is lush, full, intense and pure. Drink it over the next 15 or so years. (RP)

2004 Hess Collection Cabernet Sauvignon Mou...
$99.00
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.
CHALK HILL
2009 Chalk Hill Estate Red Proprietary Cabe...
$109.00
Made from classic Bordeaux varieties with Syrah, it's dry, rich in tannins and complex, with flavors of blackberry, fresh herb and oak. But it's quite soft, with extraordinarily high alcohol that gives it a Cognac-like burn.
"Chalk Hill's 2009 Estate Red is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 49%,, Malbec 21%, Merlot 17% with dollops of Petit Verdot 8% and Syrah 4%. Firm tannins support plums, dark cherries, mocha, spices and licorice in this full-bodied, intense wine. I get the sense that with a lighter hand this might have been a materially more complex wine, which is to say more in line with the rest of the estate's wines. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2021. RP"
ANDREW WILL
Andrew Will Two Blondes Vineyard Red Wine 2006
$99.00
The 2006 Two Blondes Vineyard is sourced from a vineyard in Yakima Valley owned by Camarda. It is a blend of 43% Cabernet Franc, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 28% Merlot. It offers up aromas of balsam wood, cinnamon, sage, incense, black cherry, and black currant. This is followed by supple, ripe wine with fine-grained tannins, savory flavors, and excellent balance. Dense and concentrated, it will continue to blossom with another 2-3 years of bottle age and offer a drinking window extending from 2011 to 2023. - Robert Parker.
Few winemakers in Washington are as heralded as Andrew Will’s Chris Camarda. And with good reason. Camarda makes intense, complex wines from some of the states finest vineyards.
LEONETTI
2008 Leonetti Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Wal...
$219.00
Dense, aromatic, layered and rich, this wine explodes from the glass with scents and flavors of concentrated berries, cassis, black cherry, and more. The vines have reached a mature stage that amplifies the fruit and keeps the generous barrel flavors in perfect balance. The barrel notes roll on in a chorus of toasty accents, and the finish is as good in the last minute as the first whiff from the glass. (98points)
The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is a bigger, more structured wine. Dense, layered, and with a suave personality, it will continue to blossom for another 5-6 years and should see its 20th birthday in fine form.- Robert Parker(94points).

2008 Coach Insignia Cabernet Sauvignon Fish...
$289.00
WINEMAKER NOTES:The Coach Insignia honors our family's tradition of craftsmanship, first represented in fine automobiles of the 20th century with Body by Fisher and now in Fisher Vineyards' wines of the 21st century. The Coach Insignia Cabernet represents the pinnacle of our winemaking craft, comprised of the finest selected lots of Bordeaux varietals from our Napa Valley Estate
RP(92p): The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Coach Insignia is a gorgeous, refined wine laced with expressive red fruit, flowers, mint and licorice. The elegant, feminine side of Cabernet comes through, along with a hint of mocha and spice from the presence of 8% Cabernet Franc in the blend. Hints of sweet herbs and licorice reappear on the finish. Today the 2008 looks to be a fairly early-maturing wine, but I don’t think that will be much of an issue based on how delicious it is.

Dom Pérignon 2006 Cru Brut CHAMPAGNE 750ML
$399.00
FREE shipping. Limited availability. The 2006 Dom Pérignon comes from a very rich vintage with an early ripeness that brought a lot of aromatic maturity. The white-golden prestige cuvée contains a bit more Chardonnay than Pinot Noir and opens with a deep and seductive, pretty accessible nose with intense yet fresh fruit aromas of pineapples, with peaches and tangerines. Lively and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, unusually aromatic and fruity DP with a long and tension-filled expression.
JS97 "This is very lively and vibrant with a dense and rich center palate. Lots of complexity and balance with pastry, sliced lemon and light dried mango. Full yet racy and intense. A beautiful center palate. Linear. Shows potential for aging but so good right now." JS Dec 2016JD96+ "A wine that surpassing the 2000, the 2006 Dom Perignon offers beautiful stone fruits, toasted hazelnuts, citrus blossom, and brioche. It shows the richer side of the 2006 vintage with plenty of richness, yet it has bright acidity, a tight, reserved style, and a great finish, it just needs time." JD Feb 2018

"Bright gold. Very fine bead. Particularly arresting bready nose. The Chardonnay tension is evident only on the very end of a delicate, creamy palate. Hint of putty. Really very good indeed." 17.5/20 - Jancis Robinson
“The combination of these two great vintages gives a Champagne of extraordinary intensity and complexity, all wrapped up with a silky texture.”94/100 BORDEAUX INDEX, Fine Wine & Spirits Merchant
“This beautiful cuvee offers us a moment of greed and of a sublime intensity. It is a lovely meeting for the passionates of wines and wines of Champagne.”FABRICE SOMMIER, MOF Sommellerie (2007)
"A bright golden colour. Wonderful Champagne with reverberant character with aroma reminiscent of balmy spices, vanilla, Brioche, nuts and dried yellow stone fruits. Hints of candied lemon zest in the background. On the palate well balanced with intense flavour reminiscent of mild spices, Brioche and yellow stone fruit, hints of honey and roasted almonds in the background. Truly a Grand Cru quality with aromatic depth and length "blending" freshness and maturity."

2003 Vina Almaviva, Puente Alto, Chile
$289.00
Cabernet Sauvignon 73%, Carmenere 24%, Cabernet Franc 3%. Dark crimson. Intense nose and a return of some Bordeaux dry character. Sweet start that is then reined in by savoury tannins and a very convincing structure. Still extremely young but the alcohol is well contained. This should drink well over a long period.Saturated ruby. Explosive, powerful aromas of creme de cassis, blackberry, cherry preserves and smoked meat, complicated further by notes of licorice, an almost iron-like peaty quality and espresso. Broad, dense and lush, the dark fruit qualities repeating with great authority on the palate and showing impressive sweetness but also focus and persistence. This has the length and complexity of a high-end Bordeaux, and a concentration and sweetness that bode well for long-term development. Finishes with thick, harmonious tannins and a lingering note of blackcurrant. As good a wine as I've tasted from Chile to date. Almaviva is a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild (Chateau Mouton-Rothschild) and Concha y Toro. This wine trades on the Bordeaux market.
