Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon The Five Bands is the team's selection of best barrels from across their vineyards, celebrated with a striking label that plays tribute to the NHL's ultimate prize:... the Stanley Cup. The four vineyards that make up this stunning wine are Beckstoffer Georges III in Rutherford, and Renteria 360, Rivett, and Oakville Ranch Vineyards in Oakville. Four Corners Wine “This is a fantastic Cabernet from the word go, with an amazing depth of aromatics and a delicate perfumed note framing the super-dense core with more of that briary fruit and sweet east-Asian spices, punctuated with a flicker of balsamic reduction. The palate is pure refinement, with amazing balance of intensity and elegance, sumptuous tannins, great energy and tension. This is seriously good Cabernet Sauvignon with the same super-contemporary feel and attention to details that shines across the Vineyard 36 portfolio. The Five Bands feels like the team’s love letter to Napa Cabernet and it’s a wine of immense class.”

Blend: 100% Pinot Noir Vintage production: 500 cases The Bastard Tongue Pinot Noir is a barrel selection of the top parcels of Sonoma Pinot Noir from Argot's single-vineyard portfolio. The fruit is... sourced from cool-climate sites that Justin has worked with for the past decade. Each one was chosen for its distinct soils and expression of Sonoma County's terroir. The 2021 spent 20 months in French oak (90% new), and was never once racked prior to bottling.
