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.”

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.

Complex & Acidic

The color is a light straw with flashes of green. Aromas of lemon, lime blossom, green papaya, Gravenstein apple and flinty minerality lead to a finesse-driven palate that is extremely silky. The palate features more exotic flavors of orange, lemon curd and the lightest vanilla with a hint of spice on the long, graceful finish, framed by mouth watering acidity. Aged for 11 months in 33% new French oak.

Bold & Complex

The rocky riverbed soils are composed of pure volcanics at the foot of Simmons Canyon and produce a wine of perfume, minerality and dense richness. The color is a garnet red with hints of magenta at the edge. Aromas of red and black fruits, damson plum, desert sage, dried rosemary and cracked pepper dance in the glass, while the medium to full-bodied mouthfeel is layered and deep, showing the kind of complexity on the finish that only truly old vines can achieve.
