THE OPTIMIST SPECIAL MIXED 15-PACK 2015 MAXVILLE NAPA VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON “The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is another sexy, sweetly fruited effort. Blackcurrants, blueberries, charred earth, and leafy herb notes all emerge from this medium-bodied, nicely balanced, concentrated 2015 that has present tannins and good purity of fruit. It’s going to drink nicely for 10-15 years.” 89 Points 2017 ENOS SONOMA COUNTY CABERNET SAUVIGNON “The Enos Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 begins with a perfumed nose of bright red and deep black berries, Spring flowers and a hint of vanilla. The palate is smooth and supple with a seamless, easy drinking style that includes black plum, blueberries, red currants and spice. This is a beautiful wine at an amazing value that will drink great over the next 4-6 years.” 90 Points 2018 VISTA RESERVE ATLAS PEAK PROPRIETARY RED “While the first vintage of Vista Atlas Peak Red Blend 2017 set a new standard completely unheard of at this modest price, the Vista Atlas Peak Reserve Red Blend 2018 raises that bar even higher. It begins with aromas of crushed dark berries, creme de cassis, black plum, earthy minerals, pencil lead, dried sage, and vanilla. This beauty has an intensely concentrated palate, with blackberry purée, focused black cherries, red currants, mountain blueberries, allspice, and rocky minerals. It is a gorgeous example of Mountain fruit that is mind-bogglingly great at this price. Wow. Drink now through 2028.” 95-97 Points 2018 BREVITY MISSION RANCH VINEYARD PINOT NOIR, MONTEREY COUNTY Tasting Notes: The Brevity Mission Ranch Vineyard Monterey Pinot Noir 2018 is a shimmering ruby color in the glass and begins with a nose of bright red fruits, elegant florals, cola, chalk, and light spice. The palate is medium-bodied yet lush, with cherry liqueur, red raspberries, black tea, cola bean, and hints of vanilla. There is a silky elegance to it that keeps you coming back for more. 91 Points 2017 BORNE ANDERSON VALLEY PINOT NOIR “Dark red/purple in color, the nose is fragrant with black cherry, backing spices and orange blossom. The palate is well textured and polished with good acidity. Flavors of toasted cocoa, ripe fig and marionberry linger on a long finish.“
