Sexy Beast |
For an inky hued New World wine, there's an awful lot of classic to the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Sexy Beast. Start with the nose of pencil shavings and cassis. Add a streamlined, medium to full-bodied palate that shows genuine Cabernet structure—firm acids and crisp edges. Yes, it's bold, flavorful and approachable young, but it also fits into Cabernet's varietal tradition. |

Sexy Beast |
The classically styled 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Sexy Beast features hints of mint and cocoa on the nose, alongside cassis and baking spices. It's medium to full-bodied, with a certain amount of varietal reserve, meaning it doesn't completely fill the mouth or coat the palate like Shiraz but shows a crisp, linear and well-defined finish. |

Dunham Cellars |
Cabernet Sauvignon XXI |
Bright, dark ruby-red. The nose combines a very ripe raspberry aroma, notes of licorice and mocha, and a faint herbal element. Then fleshy and glossy on the palate, with sweet blackberry and cassis flavors framed and enlivened by nicely integrated acidity. This rather suave wine finishes with smooth tannins, a hint of chocolatey oak and very good length. (14.1% alcohol) |

Pursued by Bear |
Blushing Bear Rose |
Pale medium orange. Delicate, pristine aromas of watermelon and orange. Juicy, dry and restrained, showing surprising acid support to its flavors of apricot, powdered sugar and minerals, plus hints of red berries. This suave, restrained, rather serious pink wine finishes with a dusty austerity and noteworthy persistence. Very dry and classic--and easy to drink. Pursued by Bear is the project of actor and long-time wine lover Kyle MacLachlan, with the wines made by Dan Wampfler, winemaker at Abeja. (12.9% alcohol) |
