La Sirena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, 1.5L Magnum
Enjoy this amazing 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L magnum, etched & signed by winemaker Heidi Peterson Barrett. Deep dark blackberry in color with open aromas of ripe berries and all the black fruits, currants, plums, and blackberries. Very pure and concentrated with lovely French oak nuances and layers. Expressive, explosive yet refined, with perfect balance and ripeness. It has the right amount of chewy textural tannins in the mid palate with amazing length. This is a blockbuster vintage and a great example of Cab Sauvignon at its best.
La Sirena is world-renowned winemaker Heidi Barrett's own label, founded in 1994 in Calistoga, Napa Valley.

Specializing in Cabernet Sauvignon, Heidi's favorite varietal to make, La Sirena also offers a variety of small-production, artisanal wines that express Heidi's noted style of elegant, balanced wines with a touch of whimsy.

2015 Melka Mekerra Estate Proprietary Red - 3L Etched
2015 was a very warm year which resulted in wines rich in concentration and this wine from our high elevation vineyard is no exception. The aromatics are so expressive and enticing showing a typicity of Cabernet franc, dry herbs and undertones of ripe compote which give this nose a wow factor. There is a loamy, muscular tension to the wine that segues into its energy in the mouthfeel resulting in a wine that exudes balance and age-worthiness - a must add to the cellar.
53% Cabernet Franc, 47% Merlot, 100% Knights Valley
One of the great Napa wineries, Melka Estates was founded by Philippe and Cherie Melka. They produce an absolutely epic wine lineup that rivals the best in the valley.

Herb Lamb Winery - 2 Magnums of HL Cabernet Sauvignon
From the Herb Lamb Vineyards at the foot of Howell Mountain, this is Jennifer Lamb's Signature Cabernet Sauvignon. Take home two magnums of this exquisite 2015 vintage.
Enjoy now or cellar for years to come!
2015 was the third year of the drought and coupled with cold weather at bloom it led to drastic decreases in tonnage across the Napa Valley. But the smaller yields led to an intensity of flavors with smaller berries and more concentrated color and varietal character. Only 250 cases were produced.
2015 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa is already thought to be an exceptional vintage, with the fruit of the 2014 and structure of the 2013 and ability to age. Winemaker Michael Trujillo calls it "one of the most concentrated and expressive vintages we have ever produced." This wine radiates with the typical characters of our terroir; licorice and crushed herbs, cassis, red currents, dried cherry, Bakers chocolate, blueberries and black raspberries, with exceptional depth and structure.

2014 LEVY & McClellan 1.5L Red Blend in a Wooden Box
Finding a bottle of Levy & McClellen is hard enough. Finding one that has been donated to WildAid -- because, as Bob said -- "the mission is so important and the effort so effective" it's priceless.
The 2014 vintage brought a third straight year of near perfect growing conditions creating another dynamic and exciting vintage. Harvest began with Merlot and ended with Petite Verdot.
The 2014 vintage presents itself as an accessible and opulent representation of the ripe fruit from the vintage with a velvety texture and ever evolving mid-palate 'juiciness', followed by a powerful yet supple and round structure of long lasting tannins.
Winemakers Bob Levy and Martha McClellan are each powerhouse winemakers on their own. Bob's credits include founding winemaker at Merryvale in 1983, and Harlan, Bond and the Napa Valley Reserve. Martha was trained in Germany and worked at wineries in Germany and Australia before coming to Napa. She also worked as a winemaker at Merryvale and Harlan, Sloan and Blankiet among other projects. Martha McClellan graduated from Geisenheim University, the only American woman to complete a degree in enology and viticulture there. Bob and Martha met while both working at Harlan.

2012 Scarecrow Magnum
This is an incredible and rare opportunity to add a 2012 Scarecrow 1.5L to your wine cellar - which is sold out.
2012 Scarecrow notes by winemaker Celia Welch
Crafted from the oldest, most balanced and most intensely flavorful Cabernet lots grown on the J. J. Cohn Estate, this impressive wine shows dark aromas of spiced plums, blackberries, mocha and cassis. Its dark complexity is equally evident on the palate, where the wine is at once refreshing and somewhat mysterious. The layers of complex flavors reveal themselves with time in the glass, shifting and swirling between bright fruit and dark vanilla/caramel tones.
Scarecrow's vineyards were planted by the legendary J.J. Cohn in 1945, and supplied fruit to the cream of the Napa Valley crop for many years, including Inglenook, Opus One, and Joseph Phelps. Today, winery co-founders Brett Lopez and Mimi DiBlasio work with renowned winemaker Celia Welch to create cult-worthy wines.

2012 M. Étain notes by winemaker Celia Welch
Although the highest-toned, most perfumed aromas of ripe black cherries and raspberries jump immediately from the glass, with a short swirl of the wine one quickly senses the darker cedar, clove and sandalwood notes which create a sense of depth and complexity. Palate-wise, the wine shows a full, broad entry of ripe fruit, spreading to create a sense of fullness throughout the mid-palate. A continuous silky impression of fresh cherry juice from start to finish provides a sense of brightness to this complex wine.

SODHANI Vineyards 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum
This Reserve bottling contains individual best barrel selections from all our vineyard blocks by winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. The goal with this wine is to blend together the ultimate expression from the vineyard focusing on maximum power, complexity and depth of flavor but with each element in equal proportion. The result in 2015 is an impenetrably dark, brooding wine that shows its hillside character and nuanced structure. The wine immediately draws you in with its completely opaque deep purple hue. The aromatic profile suggests notes of cinnamon, pine bough, molten dark chocolate, and cassis reduction.
This wine has plenty of freshness and dense, rich fruit to offer in its youth but will certainly award extended cellaring.
Only 256 cases produced.
SODHANI Vineyards is a family owned 6.5 acre hillside vineyard in St Helena blessed with a unique terroir making limited releases of phenomenal, hand-crafted Cabernet Sauvignon wines by winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown who has received multiple 100 point scores from Robert Parker and Wine Spectator, and painstakingly produces gorgeous wines which are the true and perfect representation of our terroir.

SODHANI Vineyards 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum
This vintage of the SODHANI Reserve is a sensory-saturating experience of pure hillside Cabernet Sauvignon expression by winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. It's dark, rich and layered with deep fruit notes and a host of complimentary layers of spice, framed with a silky structure. In the glass the wine displays a completely opaque purple hue. Upon closer inspection aromas emerge in waves of macerated blackberries, lavender, baking spices, and fresh loam. The mouth feel of the wine is noted by a finely integrated tannic grip up front that blossoms into more supple notes of stewed currants, plum reduction, flint, tack room, blood orange zest, cocoa nib, and clove. The extended mouth coating finish goes on for well over a minute ending with light floral notes and bright purple fruit. Due to the wealth of fruit and structure this wine possesses, it will benefit with 5 years in the cellar or a generous decant.
Only 173 cases produced.

Clase Azul Bottles
Clase Azul Plata is a fresh tasting blanco tequila produced from 100% organic blue weber agave. The agave is slow cooked in traditional brick ovens for 72 hours and then distilled using a proprietary yeast developed by our master distiller. Plata is not aged and the natural colors that come from the slow cooking are filtered out prior to bottling in a stunning crystal clear bottle with blue accent at its base.
Clase Azul Reposado has been praised by tequila connoisseurs for its superior taste and stunning handmade decanter. This Clase Azul is aged in reclaimed American oak barrels for eight months after it has gone through the distillation process. Each bottle is made with high quality white ceramic and then hand painted by artisans in our bottling facility.
Clase Azul Anejo "Edición Indígena Mazahua" (or Mazahua-Edition) is an ultra-premium anejo tequila made from organic Tequilana Weber Blue Agave. Its intense amber color and layered aromas are a result of twenty-five months of aging. Once the agave has reached its optimal ripeness and is harvested, the treasured heart of the agave is obtained. The ornamentation of the bottle concludes at the neck of the bottle with a 24-karat gold vermeil charm medallion and feathered design that distinctively represents Clase Azul.
Clase Azul Ultra Extra Anejo is the world's most luxurious tequila and is quite literally in a league of its own. This exclusive Clase Azul offering is only produced in numbered batches of 100 bottles, which are quickly purchased by collectors.

Calcareous Vineyard Wine & Tasting
Enjoy a bottle of Calcareous 2017 Tres Violet, a red blend rated 92 points by Wine Spectator.
Trés Violet is Calcareous Estate's take on a traditional Rhone style red wine. By combining the depth and richness of Syrah, spice and leather from Mourvedre with bright fruit elegance of Grenache, they can produce a multifaceted yet cohesive wine. In this way the Trés Violet is perhaps the fullest expression of the Estate.
Also includes a sit down wine and cheese pairing for two people at the winery. Experience a casual wine and cheese pairing overlooking the valley on our terrace. In this beautiful setting, a knowledgeable host will delve into our approach of pairing wine with Artisan cheeses while guiding guests through the nuances of Calcareous wines.
Lloyd Messer and Dana Brown realized their dream of finding a place for their passion for wine in 2000 when they established Calcareous Vineyard on one of the highest limestone plateaus of Paso Robles' west side.
