300 Point Pack By Fairest Creature

2018 Perihelios

One of two perfect wines in the lineup of 2018s, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Perihelios comes from Thomas Rivers Brown and is another seamless, elegant, yet powerful wine that’s just a joy to taste. Cassis, blackberries, tobacco, graphite, licorice, and a kiss of iron define this incredible beauty, and it's full-bodied, with a multi-dimensional, layered mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and an incredible finish. Coming mostly from the Upper Range Vineyard and brought up in new barrels, it has ample up-front appeal given its balance, purity, and texture, yet there's no shortage of tannins, and it's going to evolve gracefully for 20-25 years or more.

2021 Sine Fine

A Latin word meaning "endless," the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Sine Fine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that's produced by Benoit Touquette. It's similar in style to the Perihelios with its vibrant blue and black fruits, which carry to a darker core of roasted herbs, dark chocolate, graphite, and tobacco. Deep, rich, and full-bodied, it has a great mid-palate, a seamless, layered wine, and a thrilling finish. The purity and elegance, paired with richness and depth, are absolutely flawless.

2023 Polyspline

Based on 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Polyspline comes from the Ecotone Vineyard (70%) with the rest from Merryvale Vineyard in St. Helena. Deep inky hued, it shows stunningly pure cassis intermixed with graphite, crushed stone, iron, and leather, as well as a gorgeous floral character. It's full-bodied and incredibly concentrated, with building tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. This absolutely sensational wine from Philippe Melka needs a solid 4-6 years in the cellar and will have 2-3 decades of prime drinking. Drink 2029-2055.
