Stags’ Leap Winery 2019 Limited-Edition Cabernet Sauvignon

A full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, this bottle brings forth chocolate, juicy cassis, and blackberry on the palate, making this a gorgeously plush bottle for all of your Thanksgiving pairing needs.
JUSTIN 2019 Reserve Cabernet Sauvingon
With 2019’s wonderful climate for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, this Paso Robles Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a refreshing twist compared to the usual Napa Cabernet Sauvignons. It showcases rich, ripe fruit, vanilla, oak, sweet tobacco, leather, and roasted coffee on the nose and palate and strong fruit and spice notes on the finish.
Charles Krug — 2018 Vintage Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
First produced in 1944, Vintage Selection is the ultimate expression of the Charles Krug portfolio, an elegant, artfully balanced wine that has stood the test of time. This wine features inviting aromas of sweet currant, toasted pecan, vanilla and cocoa nibs; the flavors are blackberry and raspberry, with a touch of violet and cacao. The elegant, creamy texture of the wine leads to a long complex fruit finish.
Brendel COOPER’S REED CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2019
This wine is a modern nod to history, similar to its bright and airy downtown Napa Valley tasting room. Aged in large vessels sealed with reeds, ingrained with the wisdom of the past. This pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon evolves with each sip and gracefully unfolds on the palate. A slightly bashful beginning leads to an exuberant end. Having just one glass will require some serious restraint.
Burgess Contadina Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2016
Contadina, Italian for female farmer, is our way of paying tribute to the original Swiss-Italian farming families that first planted our Howell Mountain slopes to grapevines in the 1870s. Often led by their strong matriarchs, these families laid the foundation for Burgess. Their heritage, tradition, and legacy are carried forward today by our cherished Winemaker, Meghan Zobeck.
Heitz Lot C-91 2017
The origin of Lot C-91 begins in the fall of 1969 with the idea that through meticulous site selection and assemblage, we can create something more significant than the sum of its parts. This historical cuvée is sourced exclusively from the renowned single vineyards of Heitz Cellar and showcases a most unique expression of the terroir of the Napa Valley.
