Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon

In 1972, while shooting photographs for Nathan Chroman’s “Treasury of American Wines”, Jack and Dolores Cakebread casually offer to buy the Sturdivant Ranch in Rutherford.  The Sturdivant’s took them up on their offer and so began the Cakebread wine story.  The winery is a leader in innovative farming techniques and new methods of reaching out to consumers. Dedication to making the highest quality wines and a commitment to family has followed a continuum as their first small vineyard has grown into a thriving internationally distributed wine company.

Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon

High on the slopes of Mount Veeder, Mayacamas Vineyards has been a source of legendary California wine since 1889. As the newest owners in a lineage of pioneering caretakers spanning 125 years. The Mayacamas style begins with an early harvest to preserve acidity and encourage bright, vibrant flavours. The wines see extended ageing in neutral oak vessels ranging in size from small barrels to large foudres—some in use since the 1920s. Finally, the wines are released only after further time in bottle, ensuring the elements coalesce into a complete wine. This unwavering approach results in classically-styled, age-worthy wines. Because of the remarkable ability of these wines to continue to improve with decades of aging, the estate holds back a percentage of production for re-release in the future.

Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon

Before Joe Phelps became a vintner in the early 1970s, he’d built a successful career as a construction engineer. Before graduating from Colorado State University, Joe had many different jobs; a newspaper carrier, print shop owner, filling station attendant, fishing lure purveyor, surveyor, and estimator.However it was in construction that Joe first made his mark, building the company his father had founded, Hensel Phelps Construction Company, into one of the largest and most successful construction companies in the U.S. in little more than a decade.

In March of 1973, Joe took possession of the 600 acre cattle ranch on the east side of St. Helena, wasting no time laying out and planting 100 acres of vineyards with the help of Walter Schug- hes first hired winemaker. They planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Riesling, and Gewurztraminer. Today the Phelps family owns and farms 425 acres of vines in Napa Valley on nine estate vineyards in St. Helena, Rutherford, Oakville, Stags Leap District, Oak Knoll District, South Napa, and Carneros. Each vineyard has its own personality and brings a different characteristic to the wines. Their philosophy is to maintain, preserve and (where possible and appropriate) ecologically enhance the natural vineyard environment.

375ml J Lohr 7 Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon

Founder Jerry Lohr is considered to be one of California’s Central Coast winemaking pioneers; in the early ’70s, he chose Monterey County’s Arroyo Seco district for its cool, windy climate and rocky soils- ideal for Chardonnay. In the ’80s, he realized the potential for growing Bordeaux varietals in Paso Robles, given the area’s rich spoil and diurnal temperature swings. With 1,400 acres in Arroyo Seco and Santa Lucia Highlands, 2,700 acres in Paso Robles, and 30 acres in Napa Valley (Carol’s Vineyard, specifically), J. Lohr was established some five decades ago and still remains family owned today. Producing a diverse palette of sustainably-farmed fruit, the winery intends to craft wines showcasing bold, concentrated flavours with a vibrant sense of place.
