Stone Ghost Hammer IPA

Back in stock in time for Halloween!

STONE GHOST HAMMER IPA
A TROPICAL & FLORAL UNFILTERED IPA
Stone Ghost Hammer IPA...$11.99 / 6pk 12oz cans
A fermenting beer never slumbers. Consequently, there is always scattered activity tending our precious beers throughout the dark hours. In these late nights and wee hours that hallowed responsibility falls to the shoulders of the overnight Brew Crew. These brewing soloists brave the long nights, often alone, to do what needs to be done. Most areas of the brewery are dark or in shadows. Throughout the night the cellars resonate with the occasional knocking of expanding and contracting pipes. It can be a bit spooky to hear the brewery creak and groan as if possessed by a spirit randomly knocking about with a mallet. This IPA, liberally hopped with Loral, honors our intrepid overnight team by naming it after their mischievous poltergeist companion – the Ghost Hammer.

Opus One!

2016 Opus One Proprietary Red
A blend of 77.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 8% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1.5% Malbec, the Opus One 2016 Proprietary Red Wine was recently bottled in July and August 2018. Very deep purple-black, the nose reveals profound notions of chocolate-covered cherries, crème de cassis, blueberry compote and licorice with touches of tobacco, cedar chest, Sichuan pepper, eucalyptus and violets. Full-bodied, super concentrated and packed with black and blue fruits, the palate is built like a brick house with firm, ripe, finely grained tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and perfumed. This a very decadent expression of Opus One with a provocatively effortless harmoniousness that is truly difficult to resist.
Rated 97+/100 Wine Advocate

Fantastic aromas that are complex and complete with blackcurrants, blueberries and herbs, such as basil and bay leaf. But always subtle. Full-bodied yet linear and very refined with a very persistent finish. It shows drive and brightness. So refined at the end. Needs at least three to five years to come together.
Rated 99/100 James Suckling
The 2016 Opus One has turned out beautifully. In this mini-vertical, the 2016 most closely resembles the 2014, although it has more mid-palate sweetness and overall depth, along with a slightly darker profile. I expect the 2016 will enjoy a long drinking window that will start to open relatively soon. Of the last four vintages, the 2016 is certainly the most open-knit in the early going. The blend is 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 8% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec.

Rated 96+/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

2018 Villa des Anges Rose

2018 Villa des Anges Rose...$13.99
A juicy, bone dry rosé based on old vine Cinsault, the 2018 Old Vines Rosé offers light orange blossom and citrus notes as well as a touch of minerality in a fresh, clean, beautifully balanced, crisp style.
Rated 88/100 Jeb Dunnuck
Tasting Notes: A light-bodied wine, intensely crisp and vividly fresh, it offers complex aromas of strawberries and red currants, with a hint of quince.
Serve With: As an aperitif it is the perfect warm weather gulper and also pairs well with a wide range of salads, seafoods, lighter dishes and grilled white meats and poultry.
Vegan : Yes
Farming Practices : Sustainable Non-Certified

2015 Viticcio Chianti Classico Riserva...$23.99
Intense aromas of black currant, blackberry, flint, iron, tar and black pepper mark this powerful red, which is vibrant and solidly tannic, yet all the components are in the right place. There's terrific energy on the lingering aftertaste of dark fruit and mineral. Sangiovese, Merlot and Syrah. Best from 2022 through 2043. 4,200 cases made, 850 cases imported.

We have another spectacular offering from The Prisoner Wine Company.
2016 The Prisoner Cuttings Cabernet Sauvignon $33.99

(Compare to Total Wine at $39.99)
Inspired by the age-old method of using cuttings from idyllic sites for the propagation of new vines, this Cabernet Sauvignon showcases some of our favorite hillside vineyards. Cuttings combines the deep, intense flavor of Cabernet Sauvignon with the structure and richness of Petite Sirah and Syrah. A small amount of Zinfandel adds a nice layer of complexity and spiciness.
Deliciously smooth with flavors of blueberry, dark cherry, and cocoa. Aromas of fresh roasted coffee, black currant, vanilla bean, brown spice, and wild berries

A classic Bordeaux Blend from Napa's most Iconic winery!
2015 Robert Mondavi Winery Maestro....$29.99
Compare to $44.99 at Wine.com
A well-made, incredibly affordable wine, this opens with inviting baking-spice notes of nutmeg and clove, accompanied by a dried herb undercurrent that speaks to the Cabernet Sauvignon within. Raspberry and currant highlight a beautifully structured and complex experience on the palate.
Blend: 65 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 16 % Merlot, 9 % Cabernet Franc, 6% Malbec, 4 % Petit Verdot
Rated 92/100 The Wine Spectator
