Master Selection: Cabernet & Bordeaux 6 Bottle Experience
Embark on a guided exploration of Cabernet Sauvignon's global expressions with this exclusive Master Selection Six pack, personally curated by our Master Sommelier. Each wine reveals how different terroirs shape the world's most celebrated red grape—moving from approachable California elegance through Australian power and Bordeaux's classic blends to mountain-grown intensity.
2019 Ovis, Cabernet Sauvignon, High Hills, Lake County
The California Gateway
Begin with exceptional value from Lake County's High Hills, where elevation and volcanic soils create elegant Cabernet. The 2019 opens with bright black cherry, cassis, and plum, accented by cedar and vanilla. Medium to full-bodied with approachable tannins—classic California character with ripe dark fruit balanced by subtle oak. Smooth and persistent finish. Cabernet at its most welcoming—fruit-forward yet structured, accessible yet age-worthy. Perfect with grilled ribeye.
2016 Balnaves, Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra
The Australian Icon
Continue with Australia's most celebrated Cabernet region. Coonawarra's famous terra rossa soils—red clay over limestone—produce distinctive character and aging potential. Balnaves represents the benchmark. The 2016 reveals concentrated blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark plum, layered with eucalyptus, mint, and cedar. Fuller-bodied with riper fruit and pronounced structure—Coonawarra's signature power and elegance. Dark fruit wrapped in firm yet refined tannins with chocolate, leather, and limestone minerality. Australian Cabernet at its finest—concentrated, structured, built for the cellar. Pair with lamb chops.
2022 Olivier Rivière, "Le Jardin d'Edina", Côtes de Bourg, Bordeaux
The Right Bank Expression
Transition to Bordeaux's Right Bank, where Merlot-dominant blends showcase softer, more approachable character. Olivier Rivière, a rising star, crafts this elegant Côtes de Bourg with minimal intervention. The 2022 opens with red cherry, plum, and blackberry, accented by graphite and tobacco. Medium-bodied with silky tannins and bright acidity—Bordeaux at its most elegant and food-friendly. Red fruit melds with earthy complexity, dried herbs, and minerality. This showcases Bordeaux's versatility beyond famous estates. Ideal with duck confit.
2010 Closerie du Pelan, Francs-Côtes-de-Bordeaux
The Aged Bordeaux
Ascend to complexity that comes with age. This 2010 from Francs-Côtes-de-Bordeaux showcases how Cabernet-Merlot blends evolve over 15 years. The wine has developed tertiary characteristics—dried cherry, leather, tobacco, and forest floor mingle with truffle and cedar. Medium to full-bodied with softened tannins, the palate reveals layers of dried fruit, earth, and spice. This is mature Bordeaux showing elegance and complexity from proper cellaring. Long and savory finish. A masterclass in how Bordeaux ages. Pair with beef bourguignon.
2014 Robert Craig, "Affinity" Cabernet Sauvignon
The Napa Blend
Continue to Napa Valley's mountain-grown complexity. Robert Craig sources fruit from multiple mountain appellations—Howell Mountain, Mount Veeder, and Spring Mountain. The 2014 showcases impressive structure with layers of dark fruit, integrated oak, and mountain-grown tannins. Blackberry, cassis, and black cherry mingle with graphite, espresso, and baking spices. Hints of dark chocolate, tobacco, and crushed stone add complexity. Napa Cabernet with mountain intensity and refinement. Ideal with filet mignon.
2020 Château des Graviers Margaux
The Left Bank Elegance
Conclude with Bordeaux's Left Bank pinnacle—Margaux, known for the most elegant and perfumed wines in the Médoc. Château des Graviers showcases classic Margaux character with Cabernet-dominant blends from gravelly soils. The 2020 opens with blackcurrant, violets, and cedar, accented by graphite. Medium to full-bodied with refined tannins and remarkable elegance—Margaux's signature power and finesse. Layers of dark fruit complemented by floral notes, tobacco, and mineral complexity. Long and graceful finish. This demonstrates why Margaux is Bordeaux's most elegant appellation. The perfect crescendo—from New World power to Old World refinement. Pair with rack of lamb.
