Relic Wine Cellars
The founding philosophy of Relic wines is and has always been to use the old methods to make the most authentic, complex and delicious wines possible. To do this successfully and to make world-class wines of every vintage, every detail needs to be prepared for, recognized when it occurs, celebrated and adapted to. There is no standard recipe, only the passion of the founders working in concert with nature, and to Mike and Schatzi, this is when true beauty occurs.
Relic is the story of Mike Hirby and Schatzi Throckmorton, who have more than two decades of wine making experience guiding their natural talents. Relic strives to make wines that represent a place and a time - with each growing season allowing for different expressions in balance with what nature offers. “ If there is a Relic style, we hope that it is one of balance, energy, complexity and harmony.”

Price
$428.85 / case of 3
Unit price perBold & Structured
This Cabernet Sauvignon is aged in 60% new French Oak. Displaying a deep ruby color with a splash of magenta and a black core, the wine jumps out of the glass with dark fruit compote, black fig, exotic spice notes, deep chocolate and bourbon vanilla tones. On the palate, this Cabernet Sauvignon is powerful and rich, yet like all the Relic wines, it displays balance and freshness with red and black fruits in waves of dense flavor. The finish has the tannins to provide structure and ageability without ever getting in the way of the delicious fruit. 119 cases were produced from 5 barrels.
