Canteperdrix Vim Solis

Vinsobres is a red wine only appellation that sees a more diverse set of soils than most of the other Rhone AOCs. The usual intense Mistral wind is accompanied by a cooler, gentler Pontias wind, making this one of the cooler sites of the southern Rhone. The wines have a bit more nerve: think of cranberry instead of black cherry, more tangy Grenache than rich, robust Syrah.

Cape Charles Cabernet

Easily our most in-demand wine over the past four years, Cape Charles Cabernet continues to overdeliver in every way. Developed in collaboration with industry icon Baron Ziegler, this label was created to capture the incredible value emerging from the high-end bulk wine market—and the results have been nothing short of spectacular. The newest release is crafted exclusively from Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from Stag’s Leap Wine Cellar's iconic vineyards—some of the most storied sites in Napa Valley

Cary Potet Bourgogne

Though this domaine’s claim to fame is Montagny, they have traditionally produced Pinot Noir as well, and the new owners have applied their centuries’ long experience to craft delicate, gentle red Burgundy. They are organic, hand-harvested and the wine sees mostly used oak with long settling in tanks to preserve those delicacies: roses, strawberries, bing cherries and mushrooms.

Castelet Saint Peyran

We like the Vellas family; we buy a lot of their wines. Why? Because they have 100s of acres at their disposal in southern France? Yes, true. Is it because they consistently offer us wines that reflect their place (places like Pic-Saint-Loup)? Sure, that too. But, actually, it’s because value in French wine can be hard to find and the Vellas family just keeps bringing it to us. Rich, expansive Syrah for this kind of money? Yeah, yeah, that’s why.

Castellare Chianti Classico

Castellare was one of the first of the “modern” estates in Chianti, established in the 1970s when Chiantis were becoming wines with freshness when then were known for funk, earth and cheap prices. Castellare brought in some of the brightest minds of the time. They implemented the first true scientific selection of Sangiovese clones, and introduced new French barriques. Yep, we have an emotional relationship with Castellare.

Caymus Cabernet

What really needs to be said...??? Chuck Wagner has been producing delicious Cabernet at Caymus for over 30 years (he's got a pretty solid track record)...all things considered, I'd say this is a buy.

Caymus California Cabernet

Caymus Suisin Walking Fool

That pesky Wagner Family just can’t stop cranking out wines that keep attracting new drinkers. It stands to reason that the people that brought you Caymus, Emmolo, Mer Soleil and many others have decoded the American palate and learned to craft wines of buzz and lushness. This one is Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from the sunny Suisun Valley, just to the east of Napa and offering great value and friendliness.

Chateau Carteau

The vines on this Saint-Emilion property produce less fruit but more concentrated flavors; that is the character of older vines. The very typical Saint-Émilion blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon sees a bit more new oak than is typical at this price point; the Bertrand family, long-time owners, clearly see this wine as having the backbone for it. Half new and half one-year-old barrels generate more spice and weight
