Broadside 2016 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

Broadside is a project of very talented winemaker Chris Brock. The Cabernet is fermented with wild yeasts and aged in barrels, 10% of which are new. The resultant wine is remarkably fresh and full bodied with an interesting spicy character and plenty of bright, tangy dark fruit.

Cameron 2014 Dundee Hills Nebbiolo

Camp 2017 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon

From the folks who run Hobo Wine Co., here we have the delicious new vintage of one of our favorite inexpensive Cabernets from California! Tart blackberry and ripe cassis mix with herbal hints and wildflower on the nose while broadly gracing the firm, rich, powerfully tannic palate. Sourced from many lesser known but sustainably or organically farmed vineyards throughout Sonoma county. Aged for nine months in neutral oak barrels. Andrew Farquhar

Chateau Ste Michelle 2005 Columbia Valley Mertiage

Clos Saron 2015 California Kind of Blue

This cuvée is 52% old-vine Carignan, 40% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Semillon. Whole cluster pressed and foot-trod, this a gorgeous and deep-structured wine with notes of blue fruit and plum, with delicate violet aromatics coming from the white grapes. Notes of crushed black pepper and game on the palate form an overall elegant package, with some smoky, meaty, dense funky notes at its core. Carignan becomes more dense and structured as the vines get older, and this is quite a powerful wine. 120 cases produced. Andrew Farquhar

Cobb 2015 Sonoma Coast Mariani Vineyard Chardonnay

Cooper Hill 2016 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Cooper Mountain Vineyards started in 1978 when Dr. Robert Gross and his wife, Corrine, planted the first Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines in the unique soils of Cooper Mountain in the Chehalem Mountains of Oregon's Willamette Valley. Today, the estate has more than 100 acres  dedicated to organic and biodynamic farming and winemaking. This Pinot Noir is refreshing and ripe, with brambly raspberry and cherry fruit, baking spice, and earthy flavors.

Division 2016 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir "Cinq"

Division 2017 Willamette Valley Gamay Lutte

2017 was a challenging vintage in the Willamette Valley. Through starlight and storm, the intense attention to detail and care given in vineyard and winery have produced some of Division's finest wines ever. Named "Lutte," which means "fight to overcome" in French, this is a Gamay sourced from a few places throughout the wide Willamette Valley. Most of the fruit (75%) is from the Methven family vineyard in Eola-Amity Hills. The rest if from Redford Wetle (Eola as well) and the Carson vineyard in Dundee Hills. This is an extremely pretty expression of Gamay, with soft notes of black pepper on the nose that mix with plush soft red fruit. Extraordinarily texturally complex on the palate, with bright yet sumptuous notes of sour cherry and cranberry sauce on the palate, this wine has elegance in spades. A little lighter than medium-bodied, but with fine structure and mouthwatering acidity. 12.4% alcohol by volume. Andrew Farquhar

Edmunds St. John 2014 El Dorado County Barsotti Ranch Syrah

This is a beautiful granitic Syrah from the Barsotti Ranch Vineyard. Classic Syrah aromas: smoke, cracked pepper, black and red fruit, and at the center, that same iron noticeable in the taste of the grapes. Youthful, quite fresh, with a brisk high note, faintly suggestive of  roses. Energetically very tense in the mouth, slightly bloody (that iron!) and ever so vaguely feral. The first time I tasted this blind I called it for being a dense Cabernet Franc from the Loire, which surprised me. It is big and beautiful and absolutely built for cellar-aging. 208 cases produced. Andrew Farquhar

Edmunds St. John 2016 El Dorado County Bone-Jolly Gamay

Edmunds St. John 2016 Shake Ridge Ranch El Jaleo

Equal parts Grenache, Tempranillo, and Mourvedre with a little Graciano added in, this is a pretty ruby-red color, with elegant aromas of bright cherry but also earth. The Shake Ridge Ranch vineyard in Amador County is, in the words of Steve, "one of the most magnificent vineyards I've ever seen, anywhere." The wine is medium bodied on the palate, with gently grippy tannins, and a high-toned array of flavors balancing fruity and savory, that linger impressively on the long finish. Andrew Farquhar

Eminence Road 2016 Seneca Lake Pinot Noir

Folk Machine 2017 Central Coast Pinot Noir

This refreshing and bright Pinot Noir from star California winemaker Kenny Likitprakong is sourced predominantly from the Arroyo Seco AVA, in other words, Steinbeck country. Native yeast fermentation and spontaneous malo are followed by nine months on the lees with occasional batonnage in used French oak barrels. Bright red fruit and elegant texture make for a fine, refreshing wine that lingers pleasantly on the palate. Andrew Farquhar

Fossil & Fawn 2017 Willamette Valley Silvershot Vineyard Pinot Noir

Frenchtown Farms 2016 Sierra Foothills Waypoint Pinot Noir

This wine has a ton of great minerality and character, with amazing funky notes and crackling acidity. This wine really begs for pairing with food, and would work great in a wide range of situations. Whole cluster fermentation brings a seething yet delicate tannic grip to the affair, with black pepper notes and leafy humus on the palate bringing an autumnal character to the fore that makes it perfect for this time of year. Twelve months are spent in used French oak barrels followed by bottling with only 18 ppm sulfur. 130 cases produced. Andrew Farquhar

Ghostwriter 2014 Santa Cruz County Belle Farms Pinot Noir

Ghostwriter 2014 Santa Cruz Mountains Bates Ranch Cabernet

Hirsch Vineyards 2016 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir San Andreas

David Hirsch founded his vineyard in 1980 on the windswept Sonoma Coast, and is widely considered the region's eminence grise. Farming, living, and vinifying out on the wild coast above Fort Ross, his San Andres Fault Pinot Noir is considered the flagship wine of this estate winemaker, sourced from 23 of Hirsch's 61 separate vineyard blocks perched just above the fogline. This is perhaps the most iconic Sonoma Coast Pinot, with fine redcurrant and delicate cherry fruit enumerated within extraordinarily linear silken tannins. The structural architecture is written in heroic alexandrine verse, with undercurrents of bramble, redwood-needle, wet stone, and snuffed candle-wick. Serve with duck, roast pork, Dungeness crab, or turkey in mole poblano. Andrew Farquhar

Hope Well 2016 Amity Hills Pinot Noir

Jess Miller Wines 2017 Eola Amity Hills Pinot Noir

La Clarine Farm 2016 Sierra Foothills Syrah "sumu kaw"

I didn’t want to be the one to write anything about this wine but Eben talked me into it. I don’t wax as poetic about wine as most people, but Eben said “You don’t have to. What did it remind you of? A favorite song?” And that’s when it hit me. After drinking this wine I woke up singing “Didn’t I” by Kelly Clarkson with the line “Didn’t I give you everything” repeating in my head. And it hit me: yes this wine did give me everything, everything I’d expect from a natural Syrah from California. I love how alive this wine is and how it screams of fresh blackberries, green olives with herbs and some roasted meat. The weight is medium, and the acidity is a bit bright. It’s by no means a French wine but it doesn’t have to be and it’s not trying to be. This wine is young and would need time or open for a few hours, but in time it will…give you everything.    John L.

Mount Eden 2014 Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir

Mount Eden Vineyards 2014 Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon

From one of the most historic vineyards situated in the highest reaches of the Santa Cruz Mountains, featuring panoramic views of Silicon Valley, Mount Eden's 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most tightly structured and elegant wines coming from California. The mature vines, planted in 1979 and 1984 from budwood sourced in the 1890s from Chateau Margaux, this wine has extraordinary depth, moving through scintillating layers of blackberry, bramble, graphite, and cedar, all dusted with the Central Coast's ever-present aroma of bay laurel. Large, robust, and tannic, but with strong, broad-shouldered fruit singing through, this is a fantastic wine to have now with steak after a couple hours' decant or as a gift for a serious collector who can put it away for 10-30 years. Andrew Farquhar

Kudos to our friend Richard Luftig for the phenomenal quality and price of Pied a Terre Cabernet! Always one of our best-selling American reds, 2014 is a deep, ripe, and focused vintage for Pied a Terre. There is great energy and balance in this bottle, which will elevate your wintry dinners and holiday gift lists alike! Ariana Rolich

Quinta Cruz 2013 Clements Hills Bokisch Vineyard

Marcus Bokisch, the grower who owns the eponymous Bokisch vineyard located in the Sacramento Valley north of Lodi, is specifically attempting to grow grapes that work in the hot and sunny climate of the Central Valley. Graciano is generally a rare blending grape in Rioja, but is known for retaining high acidity even in the very hottest places. Fantastic fruit and great concentration are wedded to great acid structure and a wonderful aromatic profile full of pomegranate seeds, cranberries, and a dense, ferrous minerality. Drink with pot-roast, barbecue ribs, hamburgers, or mole tacos. Andrew Farquhar

Revik 2015 Howell Mountain Diogenes Ridge Vnyd Cabernet

Diogenes Ridge is located at 1800 feet above St. Helena in the Vaca mountains, this Cabernet is athletic and powerful, but without any excess weight. 15% whole cluster, spontaneous open-top ferment, eighteen days on the skins, and eighteen months in 50% new French oak barrels give this wine a force that is brought to an exquisite tension by its incredible acid backbone. Powerful, tannic, and clocking in under 14% ABV, this wine is extraordinarily balanced and capable of many years of cellaring. Traditional black currant is furled in chocolate shavings, hearth ash, peppercorn, cherry pit, samovar, and alabaster dust. Tiny production (two barrels) and alertness in the cellar have produced a fantastic expression of Napa Cabernet that bridges stylistic tendencies and generations. Andrew Farquhar

Rootdown 2017 Amador County Trousseau Rosé 1.5 L

A mellow peach color in the glass, this rose is a little softer than Rootdown's other offerings, but it exhibits much of the herbal, mineral, and tea-like  aspects associated with this grape. Trousseau planted in 2004 is gently foot-trod upon arrival in the winery, followed by spontaneous fermentation and cold-stabilization. Herbal, with fine green-apple fruit and a smudge of earthiness, this light and elegant rose is a great food wine. I had with hummus, tabouleh, foule, and baba ghanouj, with which it went famously. These magnums are incredible party bottles in addition to being exclusive on the east coast to Chambers Street Wines! Andrew Farquhar

Rootdown 2017 Sierra Foothills Jane's Vineyard Sangiovese Rosé 1.5 L

Sun-drenched and scorchingly refreshing, this sangiovese rose sourced from a small 2 acre vineyard on Duncan Peak in Mendocino is the color of blood orange flesh in the glass. Hand-harvested, the grapes are then squeezed with high pressure to get a lot of flavor from the skins. Juicy and ripe, with incredible acidity, an herbal freshness, and powerful blood orange character, this is a supercharged rose with such concentration it feels like drinking a glassful of rubies. These magnums are incredible party bottles in addition to being exclusive on the east coast to Chambers Street Wines! Andrew Farquhar

Wiemer, Hermann J. 2013 Finger Lakes Cab Franc 'Bye Bye Blackbird"

Originally poured by-the-glass at Eleven Madison Park, this wine has aged beautifully in the five years since the vintage. Black pepper and graphite float over a dark, mushroomy  core. Funky humus notes blend with pretty blackberry and slightly herbal notes. Soft, but with fine silky tannins, this wine will age for up to another five years but is drinking perfectly right now. Pair with wintry stews, braised oxtail, or dense miso-brothed ramen. Andrew Farquhar
