A Cult Cabernet Spectacular

Colgin and Dominus represent two of the finest wines made in Napa Valley.  This is news to precisely no one (though if you haven’t had the wines and have the means—stop, do not pass go, grab some right away).  These are some of the most sought after wines in the States, hunted by those that drink the best.

New Review from Jeb Dunnuck

Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley 2015 750ML ($219.95) $179 special
