VENGE SCOUT’S HONOR

Napa Valley, California

This vintage has a gorgeous, concentrated assemblage of violets, anise, honeysuckle, blue herbs, and a touch of vanillin. The palate is pure richness with loads black fruits and currants, pepper spice, and an enveloping masculinity of char and tannins from the Syrah, Charbono and Petite Sirah. A seamless balance and mouth coating deliciousness lead to a wine that is quite pleasing to the senses. Cellared correctly it will age for 5 to 8 years. 

Retail = $42.99

SEGHESIO ZINFANDEL

Sonoma County, California

Each vintage, we harvest multiple diverse lots of Zinfandel that span the entire Sonoma County Zinfandel landscape. Each of these lots is produced under the careful eye of our winemaker, Andy Robinson. The best of these lots are selected to make Sonoma Zinfandel. A small amount of Petite Sirah is added to honor century old traditions and to provide color and structure. The result is a wine that offers tantalizing raspberry, blueberry, classic briary and spicy flavors with a balance of components for which Seghesio wines are known.

Retail = $28.99

XAVIER Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône Valley, France

Combining his in-depth knowledge of the Rhône terroirs with a decades-long working relationship with numerous prestigious domains, Xavier Vignon has created wines of exceptional quality and character.

His Chateauneuf-du-Pape is a classic GSM blend aged in a combination of wood, showing dark fruit flavors and firm, structured tannins.

Retail = $50.99

ANGEL’S ENVY PORT FINISHED BARREL BOURBON

“Named for the "angel's share," the portion that evaporates from the barrel during the aging process, this golden amber spirit is finished in Port barrels, which explains those juicy red-fruit notes that slide into the long finish. Look for orange peel, vanilla and roasted nut flavors, too.”

RUSSELL’S RESERVE 10 YEAR BOURBON

Russell Reserve Bourbon is a small-batch release distilled at the Wild Turkey Distillery, owned by Campari Group. But it’s also the pet project of father-and-son master distillers Jimmy and Eddie Russell — and they have hung their name and reputation on it. 

The Russells not only distill Bourbon for Campari, they get to taste and match casks too. They set aside — reserve — the best casks of aging Bourbon to create Russell’s Reserve 10 Year Old. The formula is simple and classic — a solid mix of corn, wheat, rye, and a dash of barley distilled and aged a full ten years in dark #4 char, white oak casks.
