Random CA Red Wine Buys – Shafer TD-9 2022 NP Valley
Price $85
Points 93
A full-bodied while refined Cabernet Sauvignon, the TD9 cuvée delivers the strength and generosity so characteristic of Shafer wine.
Aromas and flavors of cassis, ripe blackberries, and freshly cracked pine fill the mouth leading into a lengthy and expressive finish of graphite and warming spices.
2021 Turley Wine Cellars Rattlesnake Ridge Zinfandel
Howell Mountain USA
Price $70
Points 94
Another huge, massive Howell Mountain wine, the 2021 Zinfandel Rattlesnake Ridge is simply stunning.
In 2021, the Rattlesnake is intensely mineral and savory, with huge tannins and bright, piercing acidity.
Vibrant, powerful and explosive from start to finish, the 2021 is simply phenomenal.
There is not much else to say, really.
Random CA Red Wine Buys – 2019 Beringer Vineyards Steinhauer Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain USA
Price $150
Points 95
This quietly powerful wine grown at 1,900 feet elevation is deep, dark and delicious, offering concentrated black cherries, black currants and dark chocolate on a creamy texture of super-fine-grained tannins.
Possibly the best of Beringer’s 2019 Cabernet offerings, it shows a seamless blend of fruits, spices and cocoa that carries over to a lingering finish.
2019 Nickel & Nickel John C. Sullenger Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville USA
Price $130
Points 93
The home vineyard of Nickel & Nickel, Sullenger Vineyard is situated behind the winery in the heart of Oakville and is named for John C. Sullenger, who settled the farmstead in the 1880’s.
The vineyard’s 30 acres of clay loam soil are planted exclusively to Cabernet Sauvignon, with 2 rootstocks and a few different clones which each add a unique element to the resulting wine
Random CA Red Wine Buys – 2019 Pride Mountain Vineyards Vintner Select Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley USA
Price $130
Points 94
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintner Select is a blend taken mostly from blocks planted with clone 337 Cabernet, which tends to give wines of aromatic presence and brightness.
That’s exactly what comes through here. Rose petal, lavender and kirsch play off a core of dark red-toned fruit.
This sculpted, dynamic Cabernet delivers the goods and then some. It’s another fabulous example of the current style at Pride.
Rudd Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Samantha`s Oakville Estate 2017
Price $210
Points 93
The 2017 Oakville Estate Samantha’s Cabernet Sauvignon is dark, rich and powerful.
Black cherry, spice, blackberry jam, grilled herbs, smoke and licorice all build in a sumptuous Cabernet Sauvignon built on textural density and breadth.
The 2017 is a gorgeous wine, especially within the context of the vintage.test
Random CA Red Wine Buys – 2019 BOND St. Eden Napa Valley USA
Price $750

Fresh, vibrant, silky, long and intense, you also find a good sense of minerality along with a gorgeous sweetness and length to the sensuous fruits.
The finish feels just great as all those ripe pit fruits, dark chocolate, spice and black coffee sensations linger. 98 Pointsest
2019 Paul Hobbs Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville USA
Price $600
Points 96
More expressive and open-knit, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard sports a similar ruby/purple to go with an incredible array of black raspberry, cassis, flowery incense, orange blossom, smoked tobacco, and exotic spice.
As are all To Kolans, it’s incredibly perfumed and complex aromatically, and it’s one of those wines that changes every time you come back to the glass.
Full-bodied on the palate, it offers beautiful richness and depth, a light, graceful mouthfeel, silky tannins, and a heavenly finish.
It’s another magical wine from this talented winemaker that readers will absolutely love
Random CA Red Wine Buys -2019 Realm Cellars Hartwell XX
Stags Leap District USA
Price $775
Points 98
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Hartwell XX emerges from two blocks on the original Hartwell property planted with the famous Grace clone of Cabernet Sauvignon.
A dazzling wine, the XX may very well be the single most moving, expressive Cabernet I have ever tasted from Realm. In the glass, the XX is seamless, with layers of fruit that build effortlessly over time.
The 2019 is not a big or opulent wine, but rather a Cabernet of total finesse.
