WineSmith 2010 Cabernet Franc 3 Pack $64.98 Shipping Included SRP $120 + Shipping
I am particularly proud of this vintage. Generally my Cab Franc, by virtue of its blending with Merlot, resembles a St. Emillion, but this one is pure Graves, with a tobacco complexity I rarely get, very sexy and very French. This vintage is a little silkier than you are used to from previous vintages, but still very much in line with my balanced, elegant Bordeaux style.

WineSmith 2007 Pinot Noir 2 Pack $49.98 Shipping Included SRP $100 + Shipping
The Quail Ridge vineyard just north of Sebastopol is one of the most renowned Pinot Noir vineyards in the famed Russian River. Such wines can have unbelievable longevity potential which is seldom exploited. This wine received eight years’ aging in 20-year-old French oak and developed astonishing nuances, yet remains full of fresh black cherries that mark the Russian River. My cellar hands counsel us to serve this wine whenever romance needs a boost.

WineSmith 2014 Saint Laurent 3 Pack $54.99 Shipping Included SRP $100 + Shipping
This grape has very tight clusters and does poorly in humid climes like France, preferring high altitude where dry air and high UV suppress mold. It is widely planted in Austria and is the principal red grape of the Czech Republic, where it is known by its German name, Sankt Laurent. It really is like no other wine. You will find extremely dense, soft tannins supporting generous mulberry fruit which you might easily mistake for Gamay Noir except for its lingering basil aftertaste that reminds me of Carmenère.

WineSmith 2007 Crucible 1 Pack $64.99 Shipping Included SRP $125 + Shipping
The enormous dimensions of this pure Cabernet Sauvignon enabled 60 months in very old French oak to develop its complex flavors, which should gain depth for several decades.

Two Jakes "Roman Reserve Cabernet Franc - 2 Pack No Sulfites Added $63.98 Shipping Included SRP $100 + Shipping
William Younger’s “Gods, Men and Wine” offers compelling evidence that the 1,000 year Roman winemaking tradition did not involve sulfites, and we have been exploring with this ancient winemaking tradition since 2001, finding it well suited to high altitude Cab Franc from volcanic soils.
These wines seem to take care of themselves very well without added preservatives, offering up incredibly intricate aromatics full of mystery and soul. The difference reminds us of the extra flavor dimensionality one finds in the great unpasteurized French cheeses.
