A Tale of Two Reds

Two exceptional California reds, two very different expressions of the grape - this is a pairing for the curious, the adventurous, and those who appreciate the craft behind the glass.

The 2017 Auburn James "1001" Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon hails from one of Napa Valley's most storied appellations, where the celebrated "Rutherford dust" imparts a signature earthiness to wines of remarkable depth and structure. This aged bottling offers layers of blackberry, dark cherry, and plum, with savory notes and the kind of supple, well-integrated tannins that only time can deliver.

Alongside it, the 2024 Thesis Russian River Valley Pinot Noir brings an entirely different spirit - vibrant and aromatic, with garnet hues and an inviting bouquet of Bing cherry, red raspberry, and baking spice. Balanced acidity and a silky texture make it as pleasurable now as it is promising for the years ahead. Together, they make for an evening worth savoring.
