Cellar Selections

About Cellar Selections

Cellar Selection is a designation for wines or beers that our tasting panels feel will improve with proper aging in climate-controlled conditions, like a wine cellar or basement. 

In red wines, cellaring will give the wine's initially coarse tannins time to separate and settle, making way for the full potential of its structural elements and flavor to shine. 

In white wines, aging has numerous beneficial effects on sugar and acidity, especially in many substantial dessert and sparkling wines: flavors become more integrated and mineral, nutty, and yeast-driven secondary and tertiary flavors can emerge.

Lush and plumb ripe fruit that can hold some polished and elegant French oak presence.

A heavily oaked, buttery Chardonnay that offers a decadent, high impact flavor journey for Napa Chardonnay lovers.
Keenan 2020 Spring Mountain District Chardonnay

Good fruit and acid on this wine accent a rich tapestry of flavors; the oak seems youthful here and will likely integrate and become better with decanting or cellar time.
