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.”

Bold & 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.

Powerful & Elegant

The most famous of the bunch, this Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is know worldwide. In only its 12th vintage from a single vineyard laden in rocky soils, it is one of the best vintages to date. On both the nose and palate, there are notes of wild strawberry, roasted chestnut, creme de cassis and clove. This wine is the epitome of Napa excellence with a soft yet powerful finish.

Intense and Lively

This is Relic's second bottling from Putnam Vineyard in Annapolis, and it's even better. The 2015 vintage, known for low yields and warmth, delivers an intense, concentrated Pinot Noir with supple liveliness. Despite its cool climate influence, expect vibrant aromatics of Asian spice, dried herbs, thimbleberry, strawberry, and white pepper. The palate is rich and full, with intense flavors, excellent acidity, and sweet, supple tannins that lead to a lasting finish.
