Best Expensive Red Wines

Napa Valley, CA- Mica is an attempt to sort and declassify barrels not making the final cut for Buccella. The wine exudes an expensive purity of intense black fruits, rich lush texture, and decadent mouthfeel, while still performing with a sense of lithe, grace, and refinement."

Napa, California- "Made from mostly Merlot, with Zinfandel and Petite Sirah also in the mix, this is a bold, brawny and fruit-forward wine. Rich in vanilla with a light grip of luxurious texture and length, it finishes in clove, nutmeg and cola."

Paso Robles, Central Coast, CA- Ripe blackberry and wild berry fruit is intense, focused and plush, with plum, black licorice and spice flavors folding in, giving this added depth and complexity. The finish is long and plush.

Oak Knoll, Napa, CA - Delivers a rich texture with flavors of plum, cassis, spice, and vanilla notes. Seven Rings is an outstanding example of the quality and value that continues to flow from California wineries. Vegan

Sonoma County, California - Rich, lush and structured, the Rodney Strong Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon displays intense aromas flavors of blackberry, black currant, cassis and crushed violet. This wine is velvety with a smooth, lingering finish of toasty baking spices, vanilla and cocoa.

Napa Vslley, California - "A very pretty cabernet with very fine tannins that are polished and fresh. Beautiful currant, chocolate and walnut character. Medium to full body and a long, caressing finish. Builds beautifully at the end. So delicious..."

California - Sonoma County - Alexander Valley - "The expressive nose of this wine gives aromas of black currant, plum and tobacco, with just a whisper of capsicum. The palate displays vibrant cranberry, black cherry, cigar and black pepper flavors in a medium-bodied frame..."

Napa, CA- This is one of the wines that helped elevate Napa's status as one of the world's premier wine regions. Still made in the classic Cabernet style, this deep, rich wine offers pleasure now but its track record as one of California's longest lived wines suggests cellaring.
