2021 | WE 91 firm tension to the palate, where melon flavors are cut by wet stone elements 2022 | WE 91 Soft strawberry and watermelon aromas are cut by tangerine peel on the nose of this bottling. The palate has earthy tones of wet rocks and chalk, with well-integrated acidity pumping into the finish.   About Winery In the golden, oak-studded hills of Paso Robles' fabled west side, not far from William Randolph Hearst's magnificent castle, there is a man with a Homeric vision. His name is Daniel Daou and he is devoting his life and every imaginable resource to creating, first and foremost, a Cabernet Sauvignon that rivals the very best in the world. Gracefully perched atop a stunning promontory at 2,200 feet, the DAOU Spanish Colonial style winery is embraced by a tangible serenity. Hawks wheel and bank while the all-day sun caresses close planted rows of lush, emerald green vines. The 100 percent calcareous soil makes no sound as it passes out nourishment and only a gentle breeze flows up through the Templeton Gap from the Pacific. The quiet is bewitching; you want to lay down roots here, just as the four-year-old vines have done. But the sense of peace belies the serious industry at work on this 100 acre estate. No effort is spared to create the luscious varietals and blends that flow from this limited production winery. This kind of synergy happens rarely: superlative climate and terroir, super intensive vineyard culture, and cutting edge viticultural practice. You're more likely to find it in Bordeaux than Central California. Coupled with the infectious passion and gracious, family style hospitality of the Daou brothers, Georges and Daniel, the result is pure magic. The kind of magic that comes in a bottle.

On the nose, it offers delicate aromas of slate, floral notes, and bright Riesling fruit, while the palate is lush yet filigreed, with savory and saline undertones that highlight its minerality. Flavors of green pear, white raspberry, citrus, and hints of vanilla weave together with earthy nuances, creating a layered and complex profile. The wine finishes long, salivating, and irresistibly fresh, with its 8% alcohol lending balance to the sweetness and acidity, making it both graceful and vibrant. About Winery Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of Germany’s most iconic Mosel wineries, founded in 1911 by Johann Josef Prüm after the division of the larger S.A. Prüm estate.

Johann Josef’s son, Sebastian, was instrumental in shaping the estate’s reputation during the 1930s and 1940s, developing the distinct style of elegant, mineral-driven Rieslings that became their hallmark. After Sebastian’s death in 1969, his son Dr. Manfred Prüm took over, further elevating the estate’s global prestige. Today, the winery is managed by Manfred alongside his daughter Katharina Prüm, continuing the family tradition of producing world-class Rieslings from legendary Mosel vineyards such as Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Graacher Himmelreich, and Bernkasteler Badstube.

PRE-ORDER About Winery Domaine Arnaud Lopez is a relatively new but highly respected Burgundy estate, founded by Arnaud Lopez after a decade of experience at the legendary Domaine Prieuré Roch. Originally from Nuits-Saint-Georges, Lopez grew up surrounded by Burgundy’s wine culture—his father ran a wine bistro frequented by top vignerons of the Côte de Nuits. At age 35, he shifted careers into viticulture, joining Prieuré Roch in 2007, where he worked for 12 years honing his craft. In 2018, he began producing his own micro-cuvées from organically farmed grapes sourced from like-minded growers, quickly earning recognition for wines of intensity, energy, and purity. By 2023, he had launched his own primeur sales, offering small-production cuvées that reflect his philosophy of artisanal, terroir-driven winemaking. Today, Domaine Arnaud Lopez is celebrated for its thoughtful, minimalist approach and its ability to capture the character of Burgundy’s climats with precision and authenticity.

The palate is finely constructed, with a full-bodied and richly textured profile. The palate mirrors the nose with intense flavors of black cherry preserves, blueberry and plum, all on a bed of luscious and composed tannins. Mid-palate notes of charred cedar and herbs sit atop a robust acid backbone, adding depth and intrigue, and leading elegantly to a long and opulent conclusion. About Winery Hundred Acre is not simply a winery—it is a legend carved into Napa’s hillsides. Founded by Jayson Woodbridge in 2000, its philosophy is one of uncompromising precision: fruit chosen berry by berry, wines born in underground caves called The Ring, and bottles crowned with a 24-carat gold ring as a symbol of perfection. From Morgan’s Way to Ark and Few and Far Between, each vineyard is treated as sacred ground, yielding Cabernets that have earned more than seventy-eight perfect scores. Inspired by the whimsical Hundred Acre Wood yet executed with obsessive craftsmanship, the estate has become a beacon of rarity and myth, where every release is both a treasure and a testament to the pursuit of the extraordinary.

Winemaker Notes Shy at first, the 2019 Palmaz Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine that takes its time to show its true characteristics.  Dark fruit and toasted oak explode from the glass to invite you in.  Once the wine opens up, currants, smoky oak and bold tannins round out a luscious mid-palate. About us Palmaz Vineyards’ winemaking takes place in a flawlessly engineered maze of tunnels and domes carved into rock at the base of Napa’s Mount George. The winery is built into an 18-story cavern in the flank of Mount George, providing it with not only all the benefits of gravity-flow winemaking but also the natural temperature control of a cave. By eliminating mechanical pumps from the winemaking process, gravity-flow design minimizes the turbulence that damages wines’ molecular structure. In 1881, gold rush pioneer Henry Hagan founded the Cedar Knoll Winery. His wines would go on to be served at the San Francisco Opera House and could be found on the dining room tables of San Francisco's high society. The winery was abandoned after the death of Henry Hagan and the onset of Prohibition. The Palmaz family purchased the Hagan property in the late 1990s and promptly set about crafting premium wines from their 45 distinct vineyard blocks, while also restoring the once grand estate to its former glory. The 2013 Cabernet bottling is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts of Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc aged 20 months in 89% new French oak. Jerry’s instincts led him to two regions located about 75 miles apart. In the early 1970s, he chose Monterey County’s Arroyo Seco district for its cool, windy climate and rocky soils as ideal for Chardonnay. In the 1980s, he recognized the potential of Paso Robles for growing Bordeaux varietals, especially Cabernet Sauvignon – given the area’s rich soils and dramatic diurnal temperature swings between warm days and cool nights. After Jerry Lohr’s nearly decade-long search for the right place to plant his first vineyard, he chose a site in Monterey County that was to become the heart of the Arroyo Seco appellation. Jerry originally planted 280 acres in 1972 and 1973 near Greenfield. Monterey County’s Arroyo Seco appellation has proved ideal for growing layered, complex Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Brisk winds and fog off Monterey Bay, stony, well-drained soils, and a lack of damaging fall rains all combine to produce grapes with trademark fruit intensity and balancing acidity. In 1974, Jerry unveiled the first J. Lohr winery in San Jose. In the early 1980s, Jerry Lohr saw the potential for great Cabernet Sauvignon further south. Borrowing a lesson from the French—that great Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon excel in very different growing conditions—Jerry began planting Cabernet Sauvignon and other red varieties in San Luis Obispo County’s little-known Paso Robles region in 1986. With the hands-on devotion of an artisan farmer, Jerry tended to the vines while diligently working toward the creation and development of an adjacent winery and barreling cellars; J. Lohr’s Paso Robles production facility was opened in 1988.
