Instant Cellar of Red Mare

 

Red Mare Wines' mission has always been to discover the hidden gems among the vineyards of the Napa Valley. Career sales professional Jim Striegel and accomplished winemaker Anne Vawter teamed up in 2007 to realize their dream of creating a unique, Old World wine from outperforming vineyard sites.

 

Made meticulously in small batches, these grapes are sorted and fermented with great care. We use traditional methods, favoring technique over additives. We ferment gently and not too hot, pressing at the perfect moment to achieve silky smooth textures and elegant balance. Aged carefully for 22 months in French oak, we protect the expression of the vineyard and the vintage by judicious use of only 35% new barrels.

 

This unparalleled 72-bottle offering from Red Mare Wines spans six vintages and is an amazing look at our foundational years. Our Cabernet Sauvignon always has a beautiful wild-cherry core with lovely acidity intertwined with silky tannins. These wines have a reputation for excellent ageability.

 

12 bottles of each vintage will grace your cellar, telling the story of the Napa Valley from 2008 to 2013.
