Zinfandel
93 Vinous
The 2023 J. Dusi Dante Dusi Vineyard Zinfandel is a polished, energetic Paso Robles red with crisp wild berry fruit, lively spice, and a bright core of zesty acidity. Silky-smooth yet beautifully balanced, this 93-point Zin is a terrific match for barbecue, burgers, pizza, or any casual dinner. This was the standout at our Zinfandel tasting two weeks ago!

2023 Napa Valley
THE HIGH VALLEY
Cabernet Sauvignon
A new arrival and an immediate staff favorite, the 2023 Maxville “The High Valley” Cabernet Sauvignon delivers full-bodied Napa Valley character with generous dark fruit, polished tannins, and fine structure. It is one of the most outstanding value Napa Cabs we have tasted this year and we like it even better than Maxville’s premium bottling priced at nearly three times as much.
