Description

Blend: 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot, 12% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc
Vintage Production: 328 cases

Vintner Tom Futo and his winemaker Jason Exposto have a nose for ‘Grand Cru’ terroir, with FUTO’s Oakville Estate and 5500 Stags Leap District Estate Vineyards renowned for producing stunning Cabernet-blends. There is a third site, the Red Head Vineyard, dedicated to their rarest label, He-li-an-thus. This miniscule production is reserved for the winery’s mailing list, making it the hardest of Tom and Jason’s wines to find. The reward is more than worth it!

It bears all the hallmarks of FUTO – elegance, purity, intensity and finesse. It stands apart for its expression of the rocky, cooler-climate site in Soda Canyon at the base of Atlas Peak, boasting some of the most alluring aromatics we’ve ever experienced. In the winery, Jason uses a combination of custom-made large oak barrels and clay amphorae.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

James Suckling 96

What a beautiful wine with very fine tannins and a creamy, reserved texture. Medium to full body with such tension and beauty. Approachable and delicious. About one fourth made in amphora. Subtle character. 71% cabernet sauvignon, 15% petit verdot, 12% merlot and 2% cabernet franc. Unfined and unfiltered. Drink or hold. [02/02/2021]

Jeb Dunnuck 95+

There are just over 300 cases of the 2018 He-Li-An-Thus, and it’s a beautiful wine in the lineup from this top-notch estate. Revealing a dense purple color as well as a big, meaty nose of red, blue, and black fruits as well as ample exotic spice, candied flowers, violets, and sandalwood, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a balanced, elegant, focused texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s going to benefit from just short-term cellaring and keep for 15-20 years. [27/01/2021]

Anticipated maturity: 2022-2042

2019 Vice Versa, Spinning Plates Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 1x75cl

Blend: 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc 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. Patrice's characteristic, hyper-refined style has garnered multiple 100-point scores to date, and Spinning Plates 2019 is an essential for the vintage.  Spinning Plates is a masterful blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from two exceptional sites: True Dog Vineyard is in southwest Oakville, bordering Vine Hill Ranch and overlooked by Harlan Estate. 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: "Gorgeous aromatics with masses of depth, loads of rich blackcurrant, fresh and compot, so many layers, really intense and refined in equal measure, some top notes of crushed fresh mint - a delicious nose. On the palate - wow! Stunning depth and a huge frame with lush tannins and a gorgeous texture, fantastic energy with a peppery acidity framing beautiful fruit. A modern day Napa classic. Drinking now-2038+." (Dec. 2022)

2015 Bevan Cellars, Ontogeny Red Wine, Napa Valley 1x75cl

JD97
Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc Vintage production: 1,200 cases Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot. Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec Vintage production:... n/a The key to this magical and dynamic blend is the vineyard sources: in addition to Sugarloaf Mountain and Wildfoote Vineyards, the core of the fruit comes from blocks 5 and 7 in the Tench Vineyard which literally run alongside the fenceline of neighbouring Screaming Eagle - that's some serious terroir. Russell makes his selection in the cellar, picking single-vineyard barrels that are crying out to be blended together for an earlier drinking, hedonistic, and utterly delicious wine. The Ontogeny is a true cellar-barrel selection, and is always the last of the cuvées to be blended making each new release highly-anticipated!
