For our Premium U.S. Red set, we are going with 2 grape types that represent 2 of the best in American viticulture; Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, CA and Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley OR.
1. Post & Beam, Cabernet Sauvignon 2022, Napa Valley, CA. $55.99
Inspired by the simple post and beam barns that decorate the landscape in parts of rural America, this Cab is an amazing wine from the legendary Far Niente family of wines. This full bodied, loamy red is made from approximately 91% Cabernet Sauvignon/6% Merlot/2% Petit Verdot/1% Cabernet Franc. The wine is aged in French oak, with 30% of the wood being new. You'll find black currant and plum fruit notes, along with espresso and dark chocolate as well, with a little sandalwood and spice on the finish.
2. Stoller, Pinot Noir 2022 Willamette Valley, OR $22.99
Stoller Family Estate in Willamette Valley, OR is one of our favorite wineries in the U.S. and their wines sell extremely well for us here at Wine Rack. This Pinot Noir shows the elegance of Oregon Pinot, along with the skill and craftsmanship of a truly dedicated and experienced team. Bright red berry fruit notes pop from the glass, and are joined by some pepper, subtle vanilla and rose petal. Lively acidity and grace make this wine an excellent red for everything from smoked salmon to roast chicken or grilled veggies.
