2017 Quinta da Romaneira Petit Verdot, IGP Duriense, Portugal (750ml)
About the Icons
A Red Cellar Trio Wine Club Selection
An old estate with a long history, Quinta da Romaneira began producing port in 1872, but was not legally allowed to bottle under its own name until 1986 when DO changes gave single quintas the ability to do so. Romaneira really became of note in 2004, when the new owner, Christian Seely brought on winemaker Antonio Agrellos. The duo (behind the much-celebrated rebirth of Quinta do Noval) took over with plans to bring Romaneira “shoulder to shoulder with the Douro’s top wineries in terms of reputation and quality.” Since then, the vineyards have been overhauled, retaining the best old vines and implementing a replanting program for the rest. In 2005 a new winery was constructed—two-thirds of it underground—allowing for a state-of-the-art production facility and a naturally cool wine cellar.

2018 Forman Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California (750ml)
About the Icons
Rick Forman has been crafting suberb wine in Napa Valley since the mid 1970's, and has been one of the region's most consistent winemakers for decades. Over the course of his career he has stayed true to his vision and convictions, making wines that have structure, precision and elegance. They typically develop very well in the cellar, and reward the patient. We think of Rick as being in the same league as Philip Togni, Cathy Corison, the late Bob Travers, the late Bob Sessions, and a handful of others whose winemaking careers have left or continue to make a significant mark on the industry. Others have bent a knee to the score mongers, or played footsie with the wine press for more notoriety. Not Rick. Not Forman. ~ Peter Granoff, Master Sommelier
