2017 Sharecropper’s Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley
$22.00Add to cartDuring the economic recession of 2001, and Owen Roe’s first couple vintages as a winery, Washington growers were facing hardship in selling their fruit, come harvest time. At Owen Roe, they wanted to help our farming friends and prevent missing out on such well-tended, beautiful fruit. We were presented with the difficult and costly purchasing of grapes to process, cellar and bottle, waiting several months to recover our costs on the finished wine. To overcome this obstacle, we decided to bring back the historical business practice of sharecropping, resulting in the aptly named wine, “Sharecropper’s.” This partnership meant that Owen Roe would take the fruit, make the wine and once it was sold, share the profits with our growers. This remains an important part of our history and due to the success of this wine; we are now able to pay our growers upfront. Everyone’s favorite go-to weeknight Cab does not disappoint in 2017. Sweet aromas of blackberry, candied fruit, vanilla and brown sugar leads to a more savory palate of pomegranate, green pepper and oil cured olives. This Cabernet finishes with bright acidity and lingering tannins. We recommend opening this wine now and enjoying it at a young age, however, this will age well for 4-6 years when properly cellared.
Angwin Estate “The Kissing Trees” Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
$75.00Add to cart“Our story starts in Angwin. I grew up in Angwin and attended Saint Helena High School, but left home to attend college, medical school and residency all over the United States. As we moved around the United States pursuing careers in anesthesia and surgery, we dreamed of the day when we could return to my home on top of Howell Mountain and produce wine of our own.” Jon Larson and Angela Henszel
The 2014 Angwin Estate Vineyards “The Kissing Trees” Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet in the glass. Hints of roses and crushed purple flowers give way to aromas of strawberry and raspberry with a hint of spice. Flavors of bright red and black fruit mingle with crushed herb, cedar, petrichor and graphite. Hints of fig, coriander, and pipe tobacco blend seamlessly with well integrated tannin. The finish is long and lingering with hints of spice and fruit that seem to extend to the horizon. Our 2014 wines are a bit softer than our 2013’s, offering more fruit and a bit less structure. This difference is not due to winemaking sleight of hand, but normal vintage variation. Buy now for $75.00

Bonanza Lot 2 by Caymus
$29.00Add to cartThe Wagner Family, the founder of Caymus, is synonymous with rich and delicious Californa Cabernet. Their new Cabernet Sauvignon is called Bonanza, and it is a knockout! To give Chuck Wagner maximum flexibility in crafting this wine, it carries a California appellation and a lot number rather than a vintage. While the winery does not disclose fruit sourcing, our suspicion is that it likely contains a good amount of fruit from the Wagner family’s vineyards in the Suisun Valley. We would not be surprised if a bit of Napa fruit also found its way in! As you would expect, the Bonanza “Lot 1” is full of ripe fruits, including black cherry, blackberry and blueberry, along with telltale flavors of green herbs, a bit of tobacco, vanilla and milk chocolate. Medium ruby-red, this wine opens with scents of currants and dried roses, grape pomace, and freshly tilled soil. The nose is nuanced with toasty oak imparting a subtle smoked meat character. Flavors of blueberries and blackberries mix with the warmth of vanilla and toasted bread. Silky tannins and striking smoothness. Mouthwatering, lengthy finish trails off with the taste of unsweetened chocolate and cassis -a wine that is structured, compelling and totally delicious!
Cabernet 2012, Frediani Vineyards
$240.00Add to cartThe 2012 Cabernet, Frediani Vineyards is full of toasted spices, sun-warmed earth and wild dark fruits. A wonderful expression of black currants in a lush package of balanced acidity and fine textured tannins. There is definitely that touch of oak with little licorice and a bit of bittersweet chocolate.

$50.00Add to cartThe wine is deep, dark red in color with aromas of black cherry, tobacco, and cedar box.
