A few people alerted us this morning that our website was saying the wines in the bundles were already sold out. We have fixed the issue with our e-commerce platform as of 9:00 am PST (noon EST), so if you tried to purchase any of the wine packs before then and were not able to, please try again. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Dear Friends,

There is no better time of year to dig deep into your wine cellar and pull out some long stashed away treasures to share with friends and family. But for those of you who haven't been as patient with your wine collection, we have a special holiday treat... 

We've assembled a six-pack of limited library bottles aged to perfection and sure to please the most discerning palates. While we only have 25 of these packs available, we have two other bundles to choose from for your Thanksgiving dinner or other holiday needs as well: See below for more details about the wines in these collections, or visit our website for a list of all currently available wines. Club members log-in to your account before placing your order to receive club discounts.

We are so thankful this year for a fire-free harvest of excellent quality grapes, abundant early rains, and of course your continued support and interest in our wines. Happy Holidays!

Best Wishes,

Library 6-Pack - $399
Enjoy these six perfectly cellar-aged wines to share with friends and family during the holidays! Only 25 available.
 
Domenica Amato 2016 "Gusto Bianco"
White Rhône Blend, Sonoma County
This layered and textured white blend features Grenache Blanc and Roussanne and is great to enjoy with a variety of foods. The stony minerality and lively acidity ensures it will work well with everything from Turkey to roasted Brussels sprouts to candied yams, while the tannin from skin fermentation has given it the stuffing to age gracefully.

Judge Palmer 2015 "Sur les Peaux"
Sauvignon-Blanc Semillon, Knights Valley
A uniquely styled and full-bodied white wine, this vintage of Sur les Peaux was co-fermented - 80% Sauvignon Blanc with 20% Semillon - in our concrete egg tank with a small percentage of the grape skins, creating a blend that is reminiscent of aged white Bordeaux and has continued to improve with time in the cellar.

Domenica Amato 2008 Pinot Noir
Stuller Vineyard, Sonoma Coast
The Last of the Mohicans - just over two cases remain from Michael's library of stellar Pinot from Stuller Vineyard. With just the right amount of bottle age to show its true potential, this wine is intensely flavored and perfectly balanced.
 
Domenica Amato 2015 Syrah
Vinegrove Swale, Dry Creek Valley
Truly an endangered species, this is the one and only vintage of Estate Syrah we made before grafting the vines to Grenache. Showing the best of Syrah from a warmer site, this wine has rich chocolate and coffee flavors to go along with luscious dark fruit and a bit of earthy complexity gained from 50% whole cluster fermentation.

Judge Palmer 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon
Vinegrove Terrace, Dry Creek Valley
When we first laid eyes on the terrace block we knew this steep hillside was special. The porous soils and intense afternoon sun force the vines to struggle, producing low yields and exceptional concentration. With just a bit of age the tannins have softened to reveal a luxuriously flavored, full-bodied wine with classic California Cabernet character.
 
Judge Palmer 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon
Beckstoffer Georges III, Napa Valley
Peak-drinking Napa Cabernet from a historic vineyard site - do we need to say any more? This intensely flavored and robustly structured wine will definitely put an exclamation point on the evening!
 

Holiday Highlights 6-Pack - $259
Enjoy these six wines that will pair wonderfully with your Holiday festivities!
 
This Sauvignon Blanc expresses the unique character of the mountain vineyard where it is grown, balancing layers of bright tropical fruit with fresh, crisp acidity. Fermenting and aging in 45% neutral French oak and 55% stainless steel give it just the right amount of weight and complexity.
An intensely floral, bracingly mineral, and richly textured white blend, the Gusto Bianco was fermented and/or aged in a variety of vessels - stainless steel, neutral French oak, clay amphora, and concrete egg. The complex layers of flavor unfold as it opens, so we recommend a bit of time in a decanter for full enjoyment.
 
Gusto Rosso is a unique blend of Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah from our property with old world soul and new world fruit that has fascinated us from vine to bottle. A full-bodied yet food-friendly and crowd-pleasing wine - you won't find anything else like it anywhere.
 
Our second bottling of 100% estate grown Grenache, this wine is dripping with sun-drenched black-plum and cherry flavors, as well as refined layers of black tea, crushed clay and spice. Its elegance, soft tannins and juicy constitution make it a natural compliment to the wide variety of dishes on your holiday table.
 
It's hard to go wrong with our food-friendly Vintage Select Cabernet; this complex wine shows rich red fruit, layered texture, and a hint of loamy earth - the perfect expression of Sonoma County terroir.
We know that for many of our fans, a special occasion is not complete without a killer bottle of Cabernet...with just a bit of bottle age, this wine is singing at the moment with intense red fruit and expressive oak character.

2017 Cabernet Collection - $399
One bottle each of the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignons from Judge Palmer
 
As Master Sommelier Ian Cauble wrote, "the simplest way to present the Judge Palmer “Vintage Select” Cabernet is to say that, if I were tasting it blind, I’d be expecting to pay $75-$100 for it. Not $45." Release price: $45
Our favorite vintage yet from this small, steep, hillside block, the 2017 Terrace Cabernet has piercing dark color, firm tannin and perfectly balanced acids. Release price: $75
 
A mountain vineyard in the Atlas Peak area of Napa Valley, Stagecoach is known to produce some of the most powerful and age-worthy Cabernets in California. It can be enjoyed now after an hour in the decanter alongside a ribeye steak or cellared for decades. Release price: $125
The name To Kalon is whispered in hushed tones among lovers of Cabernet Sauvignon everywhere. There is something magical about the terroir at this valley floor site in Oakville that has produced world-class wines for generations of Napa Valley vintners. Release price: $175
