We recommend using a business delivery address to receive wine shipments, as we are required by law to have an adult (over age 21) signature for wine deliveries. UPS will make 3 delivery attempts, and the customer will then be billed $24.00, in addition to return shipping costs.
A note on corks and decanting in older wines: We recommend using a dual-pronged Ah-So opener to gently, patiently finesse the cork. Gentleness is key, and individual corks vary, some prone to crumbling, others firm and easy to extract. If a cork crumbles or is pushed into the wine bottle, as sometimes occurs, we recommend decanting with a sieve. Decanting will only enhance the nuanced flavors of a mature wine. Finally, shipping can disturb sediments in older wines, so some rare wine collectors recommend standing a bottle up to allow sediments to settle to the bottom before enjoying.

“I had an ‘are you kidding me?’ moment. You can, too...we are lucky to have Joel Aiken, an expert in Rutherford terroir, on our tasting panel. Joel spent 27 years as BV’s winemaker, and he agrees this wine is precisely what a supremely well-made Rutherford Cabernet should be.”
“Showing focused dark red cherry, plum sauce and raspberry liqueur, the 2006 Pella Cabernet is keenly focused and impressively fresh 15 years post-harvest. Cedar, cassis and cigar wrapper aromas complement the lovely, deep fruits. Bottle age gifts the wine with the slightest cremini mushroom umami-ness that will assuredly develop over time. While on its long plateau of optimal drinking, the consumer has the option to drink tonight or hold until the 2030s.”
