Enjoy this case of a dozen high-end wines as curated by the experts at International Wines & Craft Beer.

Casa Piena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon ’17

A captivating wine that reveals intricate aromas and deeply layered flavors. Its pronounced structure on the palate offers a bright and lively experience. A true expression of its region, it captures the essence of the local terroir. Perfectly paired with fine dining, this wine is a versatile companion to various cuisines.

Fullerton Winery Lichtenwalter Vyd Pinot Noir ’19

Vivid ruby red in the glass. The nose offers up delicious scents of sour cherry, bilberry, and cranberry interwoven with the classic Ribbon Ridge baking spice and red flowers. This is a bright and acid-driven version of Lichtenwalter, with layers and layers of complexity and nuance. You will find mixed berry and cherry co-mingling with damp earth, spice, and floral notes in this very food-friendly wine

Lail Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc (Napa) ’23

The 2023 Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc jumps forth with aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and lemongrass. The texture is creamy and complex, with amazing crispness, bold acidity, and exciting fruit flavors. There is a distinct minerality and fantastic intensity. It is snappy, vivid, zippy and spirited – very much exemplary of the varietal.

Matthew Wallace Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Vly) ’23

The Wallace Ranch is just under 1,000 acres with 100 planted.  The cabernet sauvignon here ripens to juicy perfection under morning light and afternoon heat. But the vines are sheltered from the evening sun, giving the site dramatic diurnal temperature swings that balance the wine’s bold fruit with vibrant acidity and refined structure.

Mending Wall Stone On Stone Sauvignon Blanc ’21

This is a sauvignon blanc and semillon blend from Napa.  Light green/gold in color, clear, and bright.  The nose is slightly grassy with a touch of lemon verbena.  Very clean. Medium bodied.  Slightly viscous.  Good crisp acidity.  On the palate, the lemon is a bit more pronounced, with a steely quality. Long finish. Refreshing. This is a very nice white that drinks easy on its own and will work well with lighter foods.

Paul Hobbs Dr Crane Cabernet Sauvignon ’20

Planted on gravelly loam soils on the west side of St. Helena, this distinctive cabernet reveals a rich garnet color and expressive layers of dark cherry, blueberry, clove, and tobacco leaf. The palate presents a superb structure with delicate fine-grained tannins that frame a core of dried fruits and kirsch, leading into the classic Dr. Crane Vineyard spice that intermingles with an intriguing graphite complexity to create a lifted, long, and dusty finish.

Paul Hobbs Goldrock Pinot Noir ’21

The 2021 Pinot Noir from Goldrock Estate expresses the wild elements of its forested site. The nose carries a brooding layer of damp earth with notes of red and black tea edged in bergamot under fragrant dark cherry and blueberries. The palate is complex and alive with a grippy tannin structure backing pure, bright red fruit — raspberry, cranberry, pomegranate — hanging on the midpalate, then cascading in waves across a silky finish. The wine is both rich and defined, turning spicy and savory on its exotically long finish.

Post Parade Stretch Drive Cabernet (Napa) ’19

New limited-release cabernet from Post Parade winery and legendary winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown.This vintage of Stretch Drive is another big winner, showing off a viscous, concentrated palate and expressive, nuanced aromatics. In the glass the wine exhibits a deep purple hue with a dark violet halo. Interwoven aromatic notes suggest currant, loam, pine bough, and lilac. The palate experience offers a pleasing balancing act of dark complex fruit and finely integrated tannin. This bold fruit and structure are complimented by a bright acidity on the back end, drawing out to a long floral finish.

Rivers-Marie Cabernet Sauv (Napa) ’22

This cabernet sauvignon from Thomas Rivers Brown is velvety, elegant, and bold. An extended heat spike in 2022 took the token ripeness of Napa Valley up three notches, and the results are juicy, ripe, and ready to drink. The palate is upfront and expressive, with notes of stewed red fruits, chocolate, and herbs. Charming and crowd-pleasing, this is a wine the whole dinner table will enjoy.

Rivers-Marie Chardonnay Bearwallow ’23

Rivers-Marie produces single-variety wines made to reflect the vineyard and vintage from which they came. Owned by Thomas Rivers Brown & Genevieve Marie Welsh, this bottling always has a distinctive yellow fruited character complemented by a saline and roasted nut character.

Rivers-Marie Joy Road Pinot Noir ’22

“Offering a zesty punch, this is nicely done, with red and black cherry paste flavors backed by a briar hint. The mouthwatering finish pulls in singed apple wood and savory notes that further fuel the fruit.” –Wine Spectator

Walter Hansel North Slope Pinot Noir ’21

“The 2022 Pinot Noir from the North Slope Vineyard is quite dark and brooding in feel. Black cherry, plum, spice, leather, lavender, game and mocha add to an impression of somber intensity. Clone 777 Pinot yields a wine of notable breadth here.” –Antonio Galloni’s Vinous
