USA
The United States boasts a dynamic beverage industry, with a thriving craft beer scene that has transformed the landscape of American brewing, producing everything from hop-forward IPAs to rich stouts. The country is also known for its world-class wines, particularly from regions like California’s Napa Valley and Oregon’s Willamette Valley, as well as innovative spirits, including bourbon and rye whiskey from the American South. Additionally, the rise of artisanal distilleries has led to a resurgence in the production of unique liquors and flavored spirits, reflecting the diverse flavours and cultural influences found across the nation.
Screaming Eagle 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
Arguably the original and most sought after cult wine of Napa Valley.
"The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon is stunning. A wine that is only now beginning to shed its tannin, the 2006 stands out for its vibrancy and energy. All of the classic Screaming Eagle notes are in the glass, but with a little more edge and cut than in most vintages. Sweet red berries, crushed rocks, flowers and spice box are alive in the glass. Over time, hints of sage, mint rosemary and pencil shavings add complexity. The 2006 is a decidedly cool-weather wine with less opulence than either the 2007 or 2009, but it is absolutely singing today. Another few years will only help the wine come together even more fully, but it is impossible to miss the 2006 is utterly breathtaking beauty. -98 points" Robert Parker
Mondavi 2017 Continuum
Mondavi 2014 Continuum
Winemaker's note on their 10th Continuum release! This wine, while having beautiful vibrancy and richness of body, is more approachable than the well-regarded 2013 vintage. A dense purple robe and vibrant violet rim lead to aromas of cassis, cardamom, espresso and graphite. 2014 shows purity of site and fruit; a core of black plum and cherry, intertwined with layers of exotic spice, heightened by ripe, polished tannins, natural vibrancy and a long silky finish. This vintage reveals the harmonious balance of fruit, site and season from our Sage Mountain Vineyard at Continuum Estate. It has all the body and age worthiness to carry forward for decades to come. Very expressive already, 2014 Continuum is an estate blend.
Blend: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 15% Petit Verdot, and 5% Merlot
Quilceda Creek 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon
2014 was a spectacular vintage, bringing you a big wine packed to the brim with floral aromas and flavors of blackberry, blueberry, black cherry and plum fruit intertwine with nuances of cacao nib, anise, soy, forest floor and minerals. Incredibly pure and complex, this richly textured wine is totally seamless in all of its parts, allowing for its silky texture to shine through on the palate with a finish that last for minutes.
