608 Quintessa Rutherford Napa Valley Red Wine 2015
Deep garnet-purple colored, this 2015 proprietary red wine has a deep purple
color and notes of crushed rocks and dusty earth over black currants and black
cherries, plus hints of tapenade and bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the
palate is bursting with densely packed, youthful black fruits, framed by finely
grained tannins and refreshing acidity, finishing long and mineral laced.

609 Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 - 1 Liter Bottle
This wine is deep red and opulent in color with the vibrant scent of dark cherry
and blackberry, subtly layered with warm notes of vanilla. The palate is explo-
sive, bright and balanced with cassis at the center with flourishes of cocoa and
sweet tobacco.

610 Chappellet Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
A classic expression of hillside Napa Valley cabs, this luxurious wine displays
concentrated aromas of ripe black cherry, cassis and dark chocolate, along
with oak-inspired notes of espresso and clove. This medium to full-bodied wine
is supple on the palate with elegantly refined tannins and a sophisticated, long,
voluptuous finish.
