Fresh nose with white peaches, sliced apples and white blossoms. Medium-bodied, crunchy and lightly salty on the palate, with juicy acidity coming through. Vibrant in the finish.
(California) Scattered Peaks Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Bottle $41.99 15% off mix 12 $35.69
Tasting Panel 93 Points Blended with 14% Merlot and aged 18 months in (50% new) French oak, winemaker Steven Urberg's newly released 2021 vintage is a teeth-grabber. Dusty cocoa tannins display an affinity with cedar, wet stone, blackberry, dried violets, and beetroot. Still in its youth, the wine shows much promise.
(France/Burgundy) Louis Latour Beaune 1er Cru Vigne Franches 2020
Bottle $130.00 15% off mix 12 $110.50
James Suckling 97 Points
Grand Cru quality here, but also fabulously concentrated amarena-cherry fruit and stunning, fine tannins, plus lively acidity that sets this all alight. So much drive and energy that you feel feeble in comparison. Enormous aging potential.
(France/Loire) Henri Bourgeois La Cote des Monts Damnes Sancerre 2022
Bottle $45.99 15% off mix 12 $39.09
Vinous 93 Points
a ripe, full-bodied style with power and weight. It is pure, fragrant and attractive even in youth, with floral and richly fruity characters - all nectarine and pineapple flavors. Expect a concentrated, intense wine that retains a sense of purpose and a lightly chalky texture.
(California) Honig Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Bottle $57.99 15% off mix 12 $49.29
James Suckling 93 Points Attractive dark-fruited character here offering ripe blackcurrants, dark cherries and dark spices with bark and walnut undertones. Full-bodied, polished and chalky with tight-grained tannins and succulent dark berries underneath. Long and mineral finish.
(California) Turnbull Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Bottle $71.99 15% off mix 12 $61.19
Jeb Dunnuck 94 Points
a killer value that should be snatched up by readers. Ripe black fruits, roasted herbs, chocolate, and some spicy wood define the bouquet and it s full-bodied, has fine tannins, a glossy, layered texture, and outstanding length. It certainly has a modern edge, but is impeccably made. Enjoy bottles over the coming decade.

About Sugar Bear Ice Cream
From Emily! Ice cream has such a beautiful way of bringing out the child in us all, no matter our age. I think that's pretty special. I started making ice cream when my kids were tiny and I was immediately hooked. It all started with one small machine. Then I got a bigger machine and then, an even bigger machine. I began studying ice cream and collecting every recipe I could find, and what started as a hobby turned into an all-consuming passion. I enrolled in the Ice Cream Short Course at Penn State, which has been running for over 125 years and draws people from around the globe. Upon graduation, I started SugarBear, set up shop and never looked back.
I focus on flavors that are built around locally grown or created ingredients. My goal is to celebrate food, small business, and community. Each flavor is made from scratch and reflects the authenticity, joy and creativity of people who live and work in Charlottesville, VA.
Life is full of curveballs, but ice cream is constant. Many of us turn to it in the midst of happiness, crisis, and everything in between. For me, ice cream is always the answer. It is how I channel and share love, joy, and creativity.
