This month’s feature is none other than our 2020 Cuvée—a fan favorite and our most popular red. Crafted with exceptional fruit from the Oak Knoll District, this versatile blend is perfect for a cozy Tuesday night or the most festive celebration. Simply put, this blend is close to Stan’s heart, one of his all time favorites! He describes the Cuvee as round, yummy and “like an old friend-blend”.
Why the 2020 Cuvée Matters
The grapes for this wine are so exceptional they could fetch three times their value on the open market. But for us, the 2020 Cuvée is more than a wine—it’s our promise to you. This is our staple red, made to be shared with our valued, long-time members. We’ll never price you out of the club because we believe in keeping this gem accessible to those who’ve supported us through the years.
The Story Behind the Blend
Each year, Stan crafts this special blend with precision and care. The barrels for the 2020 Cuvée are hand-selected, combining the elegance of new French oak (at €1,400 each) with the subtlety of once-used barrels (around $300). And after their winemaking life is over? Those barrels might end up as $40 planters, but their contribution to this wine is priceless.
Our commitment to using exclusively French oak barrels speaks to our dedication to quality. These barrels are sourced from one of only three forests in France and are meticulously crafted (ok, they are fitted together, seriously – no nails or glue?!) ensuring the purest expression of the wine.
