'18 Pellet Estate Henry's Reserve, Pellet Vineyard, St. Helena AVA- Retail $150 

"A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the deep garnet-purple colored, scented of crème de cassis, blueberry compote and fruitcake with touches of earth, tobacco and Chinese five spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied with nice, ripe grainy tannins and a lively line of freshness lifting the ripe, rich fruit, finishing on a compelling savory note.” - Robert Parker. 93 points Jeb Dunnuck, 93 points Vinous
