2021 Vineyard 36, OVR Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville 12x75cl
Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Hailing from the Oakville Ranch Vineyard in the iron rich, volcanic foothills of eastern Oakville, the OVR label changes with every new year, every passing season. It... represents the importance of the night sky in the lengthy wine-making process. It highlights the magic that happens each time the sun sets on another day in Napa Valley.
Winemaker Keith Emerson: "Punching aromatics, riper profile, blackberry pie, black cherry, all-spice with hints of nutmeg and baking spice from the barrel. Dried lavender, opulent, structured throughout but a powerful Cabernet Sauvignon from the Plateau block within Oakville Ranch Vineyard."

2020 Dalla Valle, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 6x75cl
Blend: 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot
Vintage production: 1,000
Eastern Oakville is one of Napa Valley's most star-studded neighbourhoods. Overlooking them all from the... highest point s one of the Estates that elevated Napa to the top of the global scene in the 1990s, Dalla Valle Vineyards.
The Cabernet Sauvignon is the wine that it all began with back in 1986, when founders Gustav and Naoko Dalla Valle introduced their hillside Estate Vineyard to the world with this debut vintage. It's the small addition of Cabernet Franc - which thrives in the iron rich volcanic soils, that sets this wine apart.
2020 was a remarkable year to make wine. Maya and her team showed tenacity and strength with every obstacle that was presented throughout the year, and their dedication to the craft shows in the wines. The growing season commenced with dry conditions and a relatively warm spring awakening an early budbreak and rapid growth. Summer slowed with classic cool Napa evenings
and warm days. August accelerated ripening leading to an early harvest of beautiful fruit.

2018 Lail Vineyards, Georgia Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley 1x75cl
Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Vintage production: 461 cases
Following it's inaugural 2002 vintage release, Robin Lail's Georgia single-handedly revolutionised Sauvignon Blanc in California.
Georgia... was inspired by her winemaker Philippe Melka’s time working at Château Haut Brion, where he fell in love with Haut Brion Blanc. They were among the first to use the same winemaking approach in Napa to produce a Sauvignon Blanc of the same exceptional quality and ageworthy style, as good as any other in the world.
When Robert Parker famously described the Georgia as "California's most complex and multi-dimensional Sauvignon Blanc" Robin and Philippe's instincts were proved right.
This is a wine characterised by energy, richness and remarkable depth, always differentiated by the nuances of each vintage.
