The Palace Thief Cabernet Sauvignon
100%
Match
The vast Columbia Valley encompasses 12 AVA’s; it even leaks over from Washington State into Oregon. So, it’s difficult to say exactly what Cabernet Sauvignon is going to be like when it’s labeled as Columbia Valley. For now, we can focus upon the fact that there is more Cabernet grown in the Columbia Valley than any other grape, by a significant measure. There’s a reason for that: virtually all the AVA’s within it make great Cabernet.

Vajra Langhe Rosso
100%
Match
In some ways, winemaking isn’t complicated at all: you squish grapes and then you let them ferment. They could be fermented in barrels, or in stainless steel, or in cement tanks, if you like. Here, Vajra has let the grapes ferment in stainless steel and left them to age in the same tanks for a few more months. Then they bottle it. If that sounds too simple, just know that in this wine the grapes being fermented are Nebbiolo (Vajra makes Barolo after all), Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa, Albarosso, Chatus and Slarina. Haven’t heard of the last few? Neither has anyone else outside of folks who’ve been making wine in Piemonte for generations. That's where your complexity comes from.

Vieux Chateau Renaissance
100%
Match
Most Bordeaux never make it to the U.S. because there are a surprisingly small number of importers who have range and reach to get the wines into the hands of America’s small and powerful wholesalers. So it’s fun to subvert the system and bring in some things direct, letting the little guys bring you wines that aren’t part of some faceless distribution conglomerate. And this is from the heralded 2020 vintage!

Vineyard 29 CRU
100%
Match
an early cult favorite, Vineyard 29 was founded in 1989 with the planting of a 3-acre vineyard by David Abreu and cuttings from neighboring Grace Family Vineyards. In 2000, owners Chuck and Anne McMinn bought the historic Aida vineyard to add to the winery’s portfolio. The 2021 Cru blends the estate vineyard, from a hillside just at the “pinch” of Napa Valley’s hourglass shape, with Aida Vineyard fruit, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20 months in French oak. This is sexy, sexy stuff.

Put together a bunch of passionate kids (some with backgrounds selling wines for legends such as Eric Solomon and Martine Saunier) deeply immersed in the California biz and you can find some pretty tasty wines. That's what they did and that's what we have here.

Z/N Zinfandel
100%
Match
I know, I know, Zinfandel is the same grape as Italy’s Primitivo. But is it? Even the best Primitivo doesn’t have the fruitiness, the power, the sheer intensity of California’s best Zins. And how do we describe that fruitiness? I always find that it has something like more red fruits than black fruits, with a little hint of red currant jelly right at the end that is part of the easy friendliness of the grape.
