Our Provenance Guarantee
Purchase with confidence. All of our wines are selectively sourced and thoroughly inspected for authenticity and signs of poor storage. Accepted bottles are preserved in our climate-controlled cellar until they reach your doorstep. We have no storefront and no walk-in traffic, so nothing is moved or handled between inspection and shipping.
The bottle you see photographed is the bottle you receive (or fundamentally identical when multiple bottles are listed), and our commitment to you is that it arrives as represented. If it doesn’t, we want to hear from you.
Tasting Notes:
92 points Wine Advocate
The only site not in Oakville is the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Amoenus Vineyard from Calistoga. It possesses the lowest alcohol, 14.1%, of these three offerings. Displaying none of the rusticity or gritty tannins often found in fruit from the Calistoga AVA, it offers wonderful suppleness, blackberry and forest floor notes, medium to full body, and a rich, pure style that is still young and unevolved. (RP) 92+ (10/2013)
92 points Wine Enthusiast
Tiers of dark chocolate, black currants, violets and cedar mark this wonderfully rich young Cabernet, which contains a drop of Malbec that brings an animal note. The wine is almost black at the center and very tannic, suggesting ageability. *Cellar Selection* (12/2013)
92 points Wine Spectator
Pure, rich, dense and layered, with dark berry, pomegranate and boysenberry notes, accented by cedar and crushed rock details. Shows impressive power and finesse on the finish, where the flavors linger, ending with a dash of dill. (JL) (2/2014)
