12 bottle All Red Wine Selection

2006 Merlot Cuvée
Sonoma County New Release
2 bottles included

From Hollywood to Magazine reviews, the wine world is full of external stimuli that shape the status quo, but we wouldn’t be Deerfield if we weren’t willing to challenge all that.  With the previous Merlot Cuvée vintage, we proved that we could produce depth and balance capable of converting even the most “Sideways” of wine drinkers.  Robert hand selected each barrel of Merlot to form the backbone of this wine and moved outside the box to create a unique blend.   Retail: $26


2006 Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley
Double Gold, Sonoma County Harvest Fair
1 bottle included

Sonoma produces some of the best Pinots in the world. Receiving the highest award of any Pinot Noir entered in the Sonoma County Harvest Fair was both an honor and an affirmation.  Pinot Noir is known for its subtlety and is a true reflection of the care taken in the winemaking process.  This thin-skinned grape thrives in the Russian River Valley and under the gentle touch of winemaker, Robert Rex.  Using traditional Burgundian practices, we aged sur-lees for two years and left the wine un-fined, resulting in a feminine wine rich in fruit, floral notes and herbal aromatics. Retail: $45


2006 Red Rex

Sonoma County – New Release
2 bottle included

Taking up cooking as a child, Robert’s palate has been refined over more than a half a century yet each vintage of the Red Rex leaves us in awe.  State-of-the-art winemaking produces nearly 150 lots of wine each year from which master blender, Robert Rex, selects the players.  Seven varietals are layered over one another to fill the palate with transcendent notes of subtlety and depth to produce the symphony.   From neophyte to connoisseur this wine will enlighten your senses and enhance your experience.  Retail: $28


2004 Cabernet Sauvignon

North Coast
2 bottles included

In our tasting room, John and Ben always recommend this wine.  Pouring the wine as often as they do, they experience how the wine progresses as it matures, recognizing when they are showing their best.  This Cabernet has been lighting up the tasting room with its soft fruit and well balanced palate.  This amazingly food-friendly Cabernet is blended with all five Bordeaux varietals, adding structure and nuance to the wine.  Retail: $30

2003 Syrah
Ladi’s Vineyard, Sonoma County
2 bottles included

Ladi’s Vineyard is in the foothills of the Mayacamus Mountains, in an area rich with minerals deposited over centuries of volcanic activity.  At first glance, the brilliant color and thick glycerin ribbons of the legs evoke images of dark, berry-laden cake.  Chocolate and cedar provide a deep foundation to the blackberry fruit.  PJ says this wine is truly singing right now. 
Retail: $40


2003 Ladi’s Cuvée
Ladi’s Vineyard, Sonoma County
2 bottles included

Ladi’s Vineyard wines have enjoyed a dedicated and faithful following for many years. Ladi sold his vineyard last year and retired back home to Slovenia. Almost as though they missed Ladi, the Cabernet and Merlot vines in his vineyard succumbed at last to Phylloxera.  Just as a star shines brightest before it bursts, this vineyard saved the best song for its last verse.  Our supply of this wine is running low and we will miss it, just as we miss Ladi.   Retail: $45

2002 DRX
North Coast
1 bottle included

The DRX is our flagship wine, a five Bordeaux varietal, barrel select blend.  To understand it is to understand the soul of an artist.  Robert hand picks the best tasting barrels of wine in the cave from as many as 300 barrels from 27 vineyards to create the DRX, marking his favorites with an X.  Just as a chef goes to the farmer’s market looking for the finest ingredients, we do the same.  Without a specific recipe in mind, Robert looks to the individual components of each wine to dictate the blend.  Blended in the second year of barrel aging the wine is returned to our favorite barrels for a third year. This dedication to the final marriage of flavors is almost unheard of in the industry. DRX exemplifies the art of blending.  Retail: $85
