94 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "A blend that should be one of the great values in the vintage, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley just about jumps out of the glass with its fruit-forward, undeniably delicious style that could be drunk today. Notes of cassis and berry fruits, lots of spice and flower nuances, full-bodied richness, and ripe, polished tannins all make for a no-brainer purchase geared for drinking over the coming decade."

Carerwaul is a new collaboration between superstar winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown and Matt Hardin from Barbour Vineyard Management. Started in 2014, they produce a Napa Valley Cabernet from Matt’s estate vineyard in Pope Valley and a Regusci Vineyard release from Stags Leap. As Cabernet goes from Napa Valley, these are incredible values that should be snatched up by readers.

Yiannis and his customers have been great supporters of Thomas Rivers Brown wines over the years, and given Yiannis' obvious enthusiasm for the wines, Thomas felt he should create a special cuvée for him in honor of his son's (Nicholas) birth year, 2017.

The entire production of this wine (just 72 cases) is available exclusively at Yiannis’ Wine Shop yianniswine.com.

A little bit about the wine: The 2017 The Dude “Nicholas” Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is bold, luscious and stunningly delicious. Succulent dark cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice, spice and new leather are some of the notes that jump from the glass. Racy and open-knit, this 2017 Napa Valley Cabernet will satisfy Cabernet Sauvignon lovers for years to come.

"A Napa Valley Blend of Moutain and Valley Fruit, lovers of wines like Caymus will be sure to love this Cab."
