Always among our strongest value propositions in the world of Cabernet, Ridge Runner has made us plenty of friends over the years....

If hindsight is 20/20, then what's foresight worth? Napa Cab isn't getting any cheaper, yet these guys somehow managed to deliver the goods for a pittance....

Occasionally, we run into a bargain that it would be nonsense to overlook. Toby Forman – son of Napa winemaking legend Ric Forman – apparently inherited his old man’s cellar skills and adherence to fiscal responsibility. This is a flat-out ridiculous value....

An absolute stunner. Wine Advocate called it, “one of the more approachable wines of the vintage. It should drink well pretty much upon release. Raspberry jam, flowers and cinnamon add lift on the floral...

Quietly going about their business as one of the superstars of Spring Mountain, Keenan continues to impress. They got the attention of Parker’s Wine Advocate, which wrote, “Rich and voluptuous, it totally saturates the palate from start to finish.
