Not merely a collection of interesting red wines . . .
The Caldwell Varietal Collection is the finest and purest expression of the most legendary Bordeaux cultivars found in the world.
35 years in the making, our 65-acre vineyard is, as far as we know, the most genetically diverse wine estate in the U.S. with a whopping 28 different clones. Many of the vines are the legacy of North America’s greatest smuggling story and the rebel vintner, JFC, who risked it all in the name of making great wine.
INTRODUCING the 2017 Varietal Collection REDS
2017 Syrah [clone 525] $85
All the right things in all the right places, Caldwell Syrah is a big bootied, voluptuous wine boasting layers of fruit and balanced sophistication. Juicy and meaty with plenty of tell-tale spice, wrap up into a super long and totally decadent finish.
2017 Tannat [clone 474] $95
An inky black and blue monster with big brawny tannins, it’s mouth-filling cocoa tinged texture make for a very special and totally unique Napa wine.
2017 Carménère [clone 2] $125
Deliciously unexpected, our Carménère is both opulent and, at the same time, surprisingly delicate. Powerful flavors of rhubarb, black cherry and sage are deftly balanced with luminous structure and tannins that practically melt on contact.
2017 Cabernet Franc [clone 214] $125
Singular, special, and delicious in every sense of the word, our Cab Franc is a Caldwell cult- wine which sells out every year to those who request a special allocation. Ripe fruit, earth, spice, and funk – of the finest sort.
