  • Jaqk Cellars High Roller Cabernet Sauvignon 750ML

The finish is lengthened by viscosity and medium grain tannins that coat the palate. Aroma: Black cherry, dark chocolate, toasty oak, cassis, caramel and rose water. Pairings: Distinctively rich and elegant, this wine pairs beautifully with the simplicity of filet mignon, or with more intensely flavored dishes, such as porcini rubbed bone-in rib eye, bordelaise sauce, steak frites, grilled tomatoes with oregano, potatoes gratin dauphinoise, and by itself to the very end the night! Best cheeses: Danish Blue, Grafton Village Cheddar, Pecorino

    The vineyard is in the Carneros, and the grapes from this great vintage must have been just about perfect, to judge by the wine. It’s beautiful, rich and delicious, yet so finely balanced.

  • Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon 750ML

    Jordan Winery visually stunning with a deep garnet-ruby hue, this wine possesses an unprecedented elegance of fruit expression, lively acidity, tannin structure and oak integration. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry and cassis are supported by subtle hints of baking spice and vanilla from oak aging. The mouthfeel is soft, silky and robing with a seemingly never ending finish. Enjoy now or cellar through 2025. Decant prior to serving to further accentuate the aromas and flavors. The incredible balance of acidity, varietal fruit character, silky tannin structure and restrained alcohol makes this vintage unparalleled in its versatility on the dinner table. It carries the depth and body to hold up to a marbled rib-eye and the finesse and elegance to gracefully accompany the leaner filet mignon. Grilled, braised or roasted, lamb, venison, pork, chicken and duck also make for perfect pairing material-the possibilities are only limited by the imagination.

  • Joseph Carr Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 750ML

    The vintage includes 10% each Merlot and Cabernet Franc for a wine that's remarkably complex for its modest price point. The color of Royal velvet, it gives aromas of saddle leather, smoke and black currants.

Firm tannins frame the wine, but don't overpower it, and it lingers sweetly on the finish.

  • K Vintners Clifton Syrah 750ML
