“THE CAVE BEAR” SPECIAL MIXED 15-PACK

2016 SHOTTESBROOKE “LANGHORNE CREEK” CABERNET SAUVIGNON

From James Halliday, "While not particularly deep, the hue is youthful, and the fragrant eucalypt nuances that accompany the fresh cassis of the palate are regional (and shared with Coonawarra). The finely spun tannins are a feature of a medium-bodied cabernet made to be drunk whenever the idea pleases you. Screwcap. 14.5% alc To 2030" Drink By: 2030. Closure: Screwcap" - 95 Points

2014 AMAPOLA CREEK CUVEE ALIS

From Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, "Blended of 69% Grenache, 9% Syrah and 22% Mourvedre, the 2014 Cuvee Alis Estate Vineyard has a medium garnet color and a beautifully spicy nose of Chinese five spice and Sichuan pepper with a good core of cherry preserves, blueberries and dried plums, plus a waft of Provence herbs. Full-bodied, the palate is led by spice box and savory notes with velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with great persistence." 92 Points

2017 VISTA ATLAS PEAK PROPRIETARY RED

Tasting Notes: “Capturing a depth and richness that is completely unheard of at this price, Vista Atlas Peak unfurls aromas of muddled blackberries, black plum, crushed granite, graphite  and hints of vanilla.  The palate is powerfully concentrated with a stunning array of flavors including deep black cherries, blackberry tart, blueberry syrup, with hints of tobacco and chocolate.  Powerful mountain fruit created a wine that is focused and linear in style, yet richly structured with balanced fruit tannins and a palate staining mid palate that leads to a long, intense finish.”
94 – 96 Points  Kevin M. Vogt, Master Sommelier

2013 PETERSON BRADFORD MOUNTAIN ESTATE ZINFANDEL

Winery Notes: "A rich blend of ripe dark berries with traces of toasty oak provides an inviting entry. The luscious mouthfeel releases layers of concentrated fruit-plum, deep blackberry and dark cherry-punctuated by hints of spice and pepper. The Bradford Mountain terroir influences are evident in the threads of minerality that weave through this opulent wine, adding to its depth and complexity."

2015 KATHERINE GOLDSCHMIDT "CRAZY CREEK" CABERNET SAUVIGNON, ALEXANDER VALLEY

From The Tasting Panel, "Named for Goldschmidt's middle daughter, the wine's grapes hail from Crazy Creek, a vineyard known to produce some iconic wines.   Big, bright, blue fruit notes on the nose are meaty, with a chocolate espresso twist and dry tannins showing on the palate.  It's a little masterpiece with a dark chocolate finish that way over delivers on price-to-quality."94 Points
