Since all the Chardonnays were included in the Pinot release earlier this year, it’s just 4 Cabs this time around.
We are pleased to announce that the release of our 2015 Rivers-Marie Cabernet Sauvignons will begin one week from today, Tuesday July 18th at 9 AM PST. As in the past, this release is via email only. At the time the offer becomes live, you will receive an email with your username and password.
Not sure of the entire Calistoga blend, but Larkmead includes what I believe is from what is essentially their heart-cut for cabernet. Larkmead sells fruit to a number of high-end wineries, but the block that goes to RM is amidst the blocks that yield their best cabs-Lark, Solari, Olmo. I am not all that knowledgeable, but seems like a pretty damned excellent source. Not that the other vineyard sources are less than stellar…
I’m really happy to see a healthy allocation. Will be my third year on the list, and my allocation has increased every year. Not every list I buy from does that – it’s a great way to take care of your customers. As with many others, this is one of my favorite CA Cabernets, especially at these price points.
