Wine Alert: The "Pepe" wine is produced with traditional method: the vineyard is organically grown, the grapes are crushed by hand, and the wine is naturally fermented in little tanks. After four seasons, the wine is racked again and then bottled. At the end of aging period (from 1 to 30 years) the bottle is uncorked and decanted into a fresh bottle (in order to avoid the filter). We do not use machine, we do not use chemical product. (Winemaker’s Note)

Wine Alert: For Buoni Anni we source Sangiovese grapes from top Sangiovese Vinyards in the Santa Ynez Valley. Sangiovese (96%), from Sanguis Jovis "the blood of Jove," makes compelling wine and when judiciously blended with Cabernet Sauvignon (2%) and Merlot (2%) the expression is expanded. Buoni Anni is barrel fermented in 500-liter upright wooden puncheons and then aged 20 months in large, neutral oak barrels in our cool cellar. Buoni Anni is the companion wine to Cent' Anni, our estate Sangiovese. (Winemaker’s Note)

Wine Alert: The People's King Cabernet Sauvignon is often called the king of the red wine grapes. But let's be clear about one thing, Sledgehammer Cabernet Sauvignon is not the type of king who sits around in his flashy robes, on a golden throne counting his jewels. No, this is a king of the people; one with substance, but none of the pomp and circumstance.

Grown in California, the Sledgehammer Cab offers a smooth, refined taste that enhances special occasions and pairs well with prime steaks. It's grown for the purpose of being enjoyed - not sniffed, swirled, analyzed or revered. For the man who values substance over flash, his wine of choice is Sledgehammer Cabernet Sauvignon.

Wine Recommendation by @thedebsterruns2

Winemaker's Notes: The 2012 vintage will be remembered for its balance and precision, with Hourglass Estate Cabernet Sauvignon exhibiting a feline grace to match its power. Aromatically, the traditional markers of camphor and mint are there, but more subtle than previous vintages. What compels about the 2012 is a high-toned rose petal scent followed by cascading aromas of tangy pomegranate and other red fruits, earthy minerality from the iron-rich Hambright soils, and finally deep tones of toasty wood smoke. Hourglass Estate Cab has always been noted for its exotic aromatics, but in phenolically-balanced vintages it elicits an extra band at the top end of the floral spectrum.Classically structured tannins frame the core of the wine, providing a glimpse into its significant aging potential. Texturally, the wine maintains a fine balance between grip and silk, with enough width and depth to remind you of its Napa origins, and enough elegance to evoke the refinement of the Old World. Notes of pomegranate, dark sour cherry, savory black currant and cassis surround the core with firm, soft flesh. A deep richness is evident, restrained against the pull of a natural acidity and minerality, providing both lift and layered density. The extended finish begs for contemplation. This wine will cellar beautifully for 20-plus years, promising still more exotic nuances as it approaches 2020. We are extremely proud of Tony Biagi’s debut vintage with our marquee vineyard and consider it one of our best to date.
