| | | Cerro Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2022
Derek Beitler learned winemaking doing odd jobs at his Uncle Chuck's little Rutherford operation... a winery called Caymus. Today he's a true one-man show, no employees, no cellar help, bottling just 2,000 cases across his micro-boutique labels, and the Cerro Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2022 is the best kind of insider deal. It comes primarily from his estate vineyard in Capell Valley, a high-elevation corner of eastern Napa at Stagecoach-type heights of 1,500+ feet, where loamy soils and altitude deliver a Rutherford-meets-Howell profile that may just be Napa's next big thing. Forget the stylistic excess of today's Wagner-family wines; this is a right, proper Cabernet in the mold of early-1990s Caymus, pure, refined, and powerful. |
| | | | Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Private Reserve 2021
For longtime Napa collectors, Beringer Private Reserve needs no introduction. For over four decades it has represented the very best Beringer can produce, a wine that helped define modern Napa luxury long before most cult wineries even existed. And 2021? One of Napa Valley’s greatest recent vintages, the kind of year where a flagship wine like this simply soars.
What makes Private Reserve unique is that it’s not tied to a single vineyard. Instead, it is built from the estate’s finest parcels across Napa Valley, creating what many consider the ultimate “Grand Cru Blend” of Napa Cabernet.
The foundation comes from the volcanic soils of Howell Mountain, where Steinhauer Ranch and Bancroft Ranch contribute incredible structure, concentration, and mineral intensity. Rich fruit from Beringer’s historic St. Helena Home Vineyard and Chabot Vineyard provides depth and elegance, while carefully selected fruit from Oakville’s Gamble Ranch and Mount Veeder’s Lampyridae Vineyard adds lift, complexity, and freshness. Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Malbec complete the blend, adding aromatic detail and remarkable finesse.
The result is everything Private Reserve has become famous for: tremendous depth, impeccable balance, and extraordinary aging potential. |
| | | | Domaine de la Charbonniere Chateauneuf Du Pape Mourre des Perdrix 2013
Today we have the sincere pleasure of selling you the Domaine de la Charbonniere Chateauneuf-du-Pape Mourre des Perdrix 2013, a single vineyard cuvee coming from a 'half plateau' in Chateauneuf's northern sector of Courthezon. It is usually composed of 70% old-vine Grenache and 30% Syrah and Mourvedre with a pinch of field-blended Cinsault. This terroir is the archetype of the great Châteauneuf terroirs: river stones, red clay and sand.
The wine is in a perfect spot at age 13. The 2013 harvest is often compared to an '80's style vintage' with it's pre-climate change colder weather pattern and intermittent showers. Cool conditions and low yields intensified the flavors of the Syrah and Mourvedre and provided a finer backbone and lower alcohol.
Great, fresh color, just enough secondary characters in the aromas to let you know the wine has enjoyed its journey in bottle.
Refined raspberry and kirsch-inflected red fruit flavors dominate, with strong pepper, spice and forest floor notes from the high quality of that Syrah and Mourvedre in 2013. You feel these two complimentary grapes more in cooler vintages and this wine is no exception. It is aging beautifully!
