Second Generation. New Direction.
Rubissow Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 
A very special cabernet for the holiday...
This under-the-radar Napa artisan producer makes amazing wines in the classic style. Forget fruit-bomb trends and syrupy bombast, this is the real thing. Authentic Napa Cabernet at its best.
This blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon,
13% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc has lovely notes of violet, orchid, menthol, cassis, redcurrant, pencil lead and sweet, toasted oak in the bouquet. On the palate there is a powerful attack of up front fruit. Complex, rich flavors of plum, cedar, spice, cocoa, earth, blackberry. Very long, round finish.
Unfined, unfiltered and undeniably delicious from a sustainably farmed single vineyard
at the Rubissow estate on Mt. Veeder in Napa Valley. 587 cases made.
2 ounce 9.75 5 ounce 19.75 Bottle 79.00
Now available at the Wine Bar. What a fabulous Cab for the Holidays! |

How about some
Holiday Spirit?
SINGLE
Vodka
The inspiration which led to the production of the first single malt vodka stemmed from the notes found in a historic Abbey of the Torbiere Sebine and attributed to a Scottish nobleman. Single draws on the same ingredients that are the basis of the noblest of the single malt whiskies making this a unique vodka with its delicate, beautifully rounded aroma and sweet flavor on the palate.
