VELLICHOR
CABERNET SAUVIGNON
CHALK HILL 2015
We love it when a new wine has an attractive label, a powerful name, famous winemaker and a big score… When the above elements are in short supply, we have to rely solely on the quality of what’s inside the bottle, and if anything, the wine has that much more to prove. Our biggest challenge is getting you to try wines like this… In many cases they offer the greatest value. In the case of Vellichor, our panel tasted this wine twice and on both occasions the wine provided a surreal sense of value and we knew we had to share it to you.
Arising from Chalk Hill, an area recognized for it’s unique micro-climate and volcanic, chalky, white ash soil, which furnishes fruit of remarkable power and delineated flavors so distinctive, the area was was established as an AVA in 1983. Aged for 18 months in oak, the 2015 shines bright with chocolate dusted cherries, wild raspberry, crème de cassis, graphite and of course, chalky undertones… If you’re searching for a great bottle of Cab priced to be your daily drinker…this is it!

SAILOR’S GRAVE
CABERNET SAUVIGNON
2015 NAPA VALLEY
Retails at: $40.00/btl
Your Price: $29.99/btl
Some of my favorite wine discoveries are those that naturally go on to sell hundreds of cases in just a couple vintages. It’s a concrete affirmation proving that what we felt when we first tasted the wine resonated and was felt by almost everyone who tries it. Sailor’s Grave’s Napa Valley Cabernet did just that. And with its origins in Yountville, Oakville and Chiles Valley, combined with a price-point that makes you smile, it was the quality of the wine that propelled constant re-orders… to the tune of several hundred cases sold in only 2 vintages.

FISTICUFFS
CABERNET SAUVIGNON
2015 NAPA VALLEY
Retails at: $35.00/btl
Your Price: $29.99/btl
One of my favorite results that comes from tasting a new wine, is one that makes me do a double-take simply because the taste exceeds my expectations for the price. The 2015 Fisticuffs Napa Valley Cabernet made me do just that. Performing well above its weight class for value Napa Cabernet, this undisputed champion hailing from Napa Valley dances inside a tightly wound core, threaded with chocolate covered cherries, blackcurrants, unground coffee bean and cedar spice.
