2018 The Mascot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 1x75cl
Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon-based
The Mascot offers a stunning expression of the Harlan Family's entire portfolio of world-class vineyards. The fruit is hand selected and vinified from the younger... vines at Harlan Estate, BOND and Promontory, making The Mascot a sensational glimpse into three of the most revered Estates in the World.
It began as a personal project by Will Harlan, who persuaded his family to allow him to select barrels of the 'Grand Cru' estates so he could create a wine to share at his own table. The Harlan winemaking team took some convincing at first, but eventually Cory Empting and his crew began to set aside certain barrels an annual basis to produce a special wine, according to Will’s selection.
This intimate bottling has a deliberate identity all of its own, its terroir lying not only in the origins of the fruit, which already has eyepopping pedigree, but also in the careful selection of barrels made by Will, Cory and the Mascot team.
Blended with the same level of precision as the 'Grand Vins', The Mascot is a classic Napa Valley Cabernet expression, giving huge pleasure on release, but built to last.

2019 Vérité, Assortment Case, Sonoma County 3x75cl
Case contains 1x75cl each: Le Désir 2019, La Joie 2019, and La Muse 2019
With scores of 100/99/99 points from The Wine Advocate, and 100/100/98+ from The Wine Independent, the 2019s are three... sensational wines that offer a remarkable vinous journey through Sonoma's greatest terroir.
Founded and developed by pioneer vintner Jess Jackson, the goal of Vérité was to focus on exploring the identity of eastern-Sonoma's hillside vineyards through combining expectational sites across to showcase terroir and vintage characteristics to the highest standard.
Jackson's first-choice to head the project renowned St. Emilion winemaker Pierre Seillan, who arrived for the first vintage in 1998. They both took inspiration from the most famous Châteaux of Pomerol to craft a distinctly 'Sonoma' Merlot that could stand proudly aside it's French cousins - La Muse. It was such a resounding success and led them to explore more micro 'Grand Crus' along the mountainous eastern portion of Sonoma. They soon developed a Cabaret Sauvignon based cuvée that was a dead ringer for the greats of Pauillac - La Joie - and a Cabernet Franc led blend inspired by the modern classics of St. Emilion - Le Désir.
Now, with significant input from Pierre's daughter, the uber-talented Hélène Seillan, the 2019s have transcended any comparison to Bordeaux to stand among the most exceptional and striking examples of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot in Northern California.

2019 Greer, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford 12x75cl

The famous 'Rutherford Bench' is steeped in history, and loaded with some of Napa's most iconic producers. Here, surrounded by one of... Joseph Phelps Insignia-designated sites, the Inglenook Estate, Staglin Family, and the 'First Growth' Scarecrow (J.J. Cohn) Vineyard, lies a postage stamp sized diamond - Greer Vineyard.
At just 2 hectares in size, Greer Vineyard is about 1/5 the size of Scarecrow. It was purchased by Rob and Cyd Greer in the early 1980s and quickly became important source for Opus One. They chose the auspicious 2007 vintage to make their debut, and in short time Greer Cabernet Sauvignon has attracted the attention of serious collectors, as well as some of the biggest names in the Valley.
This is truly a wine for the ages, and there’s no doubt whatsoever that we are witnessing the emergence of a new legend of the Rutherford Bench. Simply stunning.

2019 Dragonette, Duvarita Vineyard Chardonnay, Santa Barbara County 1x75cl
Blend: 100% Chardonnay
Vintage Production: 200 cases
The Duvarita Vineyard is in the far west of the region, sitting literally metres outside of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA boundary, and it is one of... the most sought after vineyards. The steep slopes sit on a combination of ancient sand dunes and sandstone, producing wines of characteristic depth and intensity.
Dragonette's Chardonnay comes from the highest blocks, more influenced by the cooling Pacific fog and full of stone fruit and a crisp minerality, and we love the extra dimension on the palate that comes from lees contact. For some summer-dining inspiration, the regional seafood specialties are the famous local halibut and sea bass, either (or both!) of which are perfect with a glass of Duvarita Chardonnay.

Vintage Production: 800 cases
The Cabernet Sauvignons of Vice Versa have become a UK phenomenon, selling out in just a few days at release each... year. That made the announcement of a brand-new wine from proprietors Patrice and Samantha Breton all the more exciting - the Vice Versa Spinning Plates Cabernet Sauvignon 2019.
This inaugural release is wrapped in a stunning new label that was specially commissioned by owner Patrice Breton, adding to Vice Versa's striking blend of art and wine. Napa Cabs of this pedigree for under £150 are like gold dust.

Sleeping Lady Vineyard is one of the most sought after sites among Napa's top winemakers, and sits against the Mayacamas Mountains in the far southwest of Yountville. A dash of Cabernet Franc comes from the prized vines of the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard.
Four Corners Wine:
