Chappellet ‘Mountain Cuvee’ Red Blend Sonoma/Napa Counties This beautifully aromatic wine leaps out of the glass with concentrated notes of red currant, boysenberry, cassis, roasted coffee and dark chocolate, along with savory undertones and notions of sweet oak. On the palate it is rich and mouthcoating, with a seamless texture and supple tannins framing luxurious layers of dark berry fruit, barrel spice and fresh herbs.54% Cabernet Sauvignon 28% Merlot 10% Petit Verdot 6% Malbec 2% Cabernet Franc.
Titus ‘Lot One’ Red Blend Napa Valley WSI94+ The 2021 Titus Lot 1 is a robust concentrated wine filled with depth and layers redolent of our favorite past Lot 1’s. The aromas are packed with blueberry, blackberry, chocolate, purple flowers and lingering leather and earth notes that give the bouquet a lifted finish. Rich and dark on entry the flavors fill the palate with cassis, dark berry compote, mocha and cherry cola with a melted down mouthcoating texture. The tannins have a pleasant grip with enough polish to help the wine glide to the finish with notes of lilac, cedar, and radiant warm toast.
Titus Malbec Napa Valley WSI94+ JD93 The 2019 Malbec has a beautiful bouquet with pomegranate, raspberry, boysenberry, violets and hints of vanilla. The silky-smooth entry leads to a seamless palate with fine tannins that give the wine a sleek structure and a core of delicious fruit. Black cherry, blackberry preserves and mulberry greet your palate as they fade to warm spice flavors and a toasty crème brulee note on the finish. Enjoy through 2033.
