93 Points! Darker berries, cassis, graphite, and violet notes as well as classy oak all emerge from the 2021 Red, a brilliant red based off 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% each of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. It way over-delivers and tastes like it costs four to five times the price. - Jeb Dunnuck

From the winery: Our second label wine, KEOLA is comprised of barrels and lots from the same vineyards that make up our top-tier Aaron cuvées. These barrels are declassified lots and extra barrels that simply don't find their way into our flagship wines, thus we blend them into KEOLA, our everyday drinking red that massively overdelivers for the price point. Juicy, vibrant and intensely aromatic, its a medium-bodied, absolutely delicious wine that goes with any place, any dish, and any time of day. Comprised mostly of Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Mourvèdre it's a rich and savory, with a blue/red fruit profile and notes of grilled meats and sage/underbrush. The palate is luscious and juicy, loaded with flavors of macerated cherries, cocoa powder, toasty oak, and licorice. Aged for 18 month is 100% French oak, 50% new, it's a wine that will certainly age in the cellar, but we recommend cracking it open now and enjoying it through the remainder of this year!

93 Points! The 2021 Trespasser is more focused and inward, with darker fruits, graphite, candied violets, and chocolaty, subtle leafy herb-like nuances.

It will shine for 5-7 years, if not a decade. - Jeb Dunnuck

We recently had a private client come to us with an extremely rare opportunity. This client had amassed a reasonable volume of a particular wine that no one except a select few get to taste or buy.

Bill Harlan’s The Napa Valley Reserve.

It is an exclusive club. Membership is invitation only and to become a member involves a six-figure membership fee. Once you’re a member you gain access to creating wine in your own vision, becoming as intimately familiar with the winemaking and grape growing process as you’d like. The wine is your creation, sourced from Bill’s vineyard right next to the Meadowood Country Club. You can work with the estate's blending grapes (using "super blends" provided by the winemaking team) to craft and customize your own barrels.

Members can produce anywhere from 12 to 75 cases, and they choose their own blends, aging times, and sometimes even have the wine bottled under their own personal family label rather than a generic estate name.

Don Fulano Añejo is a marriage of very old tequilas aged in French limousine and nevers oak casks that previously held wines. It’s deep and complex with dried fruits and spice elements like cardamom and allspice which complement elegantly the right touch of sweetness that comes from slowly cooked mature agave. Honey and caramelized nuts emerge from a long finish together with a refreshing light menthol. Great to wrap up a nice dinner. Producer Notes Learn More
