More information on each of the wines here:

The Vineyard House 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon. Value $300. From The Vineyard House: Smoky blackberry, black cherry, and leather ride a wave of sumptuous, soft and seamless texture in this lovely wine, blended with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Focused acidity buoys the fruit of this full-bodied wine, structured and luxurious in a finish of chocolate. Distinctive character, with rich palate coating textures and lots of layers and depth – this is benchmark Wine.

Buena Vista 2012 The Aristocrat Napa Valley Red. Value $75. From Notes of Note website: The Aristocrat is one of the finest wines I’ve ever enjoyed, and it’s going right onto Notes‘ Top Five Reds list. It’s really special. This 2012 is the inaugural vintage, and it’s already sold out at Buena Vista so coming by this gem will not be easy–yet a worthwhile pursuit if you’re even remotely inclined toward great wine. The 2012 Aristocrat is more cherry and blueberry in its flavor. It is crazy smooth, packed full of fruit, and has a spectacular, even finish. There is not even a hint of sharpness, of tannins, of the need for time the way you often get with a Bordeaux or similarly styled red blend. It has great legs, and a jammy color that you’ll find–like its bouquet–extremely enticing.

Buena Vista 2012 The Founder Sonoma County Red Wine. Value $110. From the winemaker: The 2012 vintage of The Count seduces the palate with enticing red fruit aromas accented by hints of mocha and exotic spices. Dark fruit flavors envelop the palate and are heightened by cinnamon and vanilla. This is a well-balanced wine with great structure and good acidity–making it the perfect companion with a variety of dishes.
