2023 VENN Cabernet Sauvignon
$50.00

This wine captures what is classic about Napa Valley Cabernet. Yes, fruit, and also: savory and aromatic qualities, freshness and tension. It’s varietally true. Here we find contemporary Napa character reaching back to take its cues from the '70s Napa greats and a gateway to what we love about Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tasting Note: Redolent with black cherries and berries, tantalizing earthy and savory notes, smooth tannins for structure. Enhanced by micro amounts of other carefully selected Bordeaux varietals, this is the Napa Cab you’ve been looking for. Great for treating yourself and gifting to fellow wine lovers. Delicious quaffable wine crafted to be enjoyed at the vintage. Drink now or cellar.

2021 VENN Carbonic Merlot
$31.00

This wine was inspired by years of drinking Cru Beaujolais and wanting to better understand the technique. After making a visit to Morgon at the start of 2018 and collecting notes from winemaker heroes there and in our own backyard, we worked to uncover the vibrancy in our own Merlot.

Tasting Note:Ideal for parties, picnics or chilling by the pool, this is your perfect summer red. Light bodied yet full of flavor with refreshing floral and ripe red berry aromas, this wine is oh so quaffable. Room temp or lightly chilled? Your choice - we love it both ways. Drink now.
