Corona del Valle Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon
From the heart of Valle de Guadalupe, and the esteemed Reserva line of the family-owned Corona del Valle, comes this exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon.

This wine embodies Corona del Valle's commitment to purity and the honest expression of the unique terroir of northern Baja California.
Tasting Notes:
This stunning Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied, rich, and beautifully balanced on the palate. Expect a complex and evolving profile developed through extended aging:
- Nose: A concentrated bouquet of dark fruit such as blackcurrant and blackberry, layered with nuanced notes developed from its extensive oak aging. Hints of cedar, tobacco, vanilla, and subtle spice will likely emerge, indicative of its time in French oak.
- Palate: The full body is supported by rich and well-integrated tannins, providing structure and longevity. Expect concentrated flavors of dark fruit that echo the nose, along with complex, savory, and spicy notes derived from the oak. The wine's balance suggests a harmonious interplay of fruit, tannins, and acidity, leading to a long and satisfying finish.
This Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the potential of Valle de Guadalupe, representing a selection of the best four barrels from the harvest. It underwent a total of 24 months of aging in French oak barrels (a blend of 1st and 2nd use), followed by an additional 24 months of bottle aging, unfiltered and unfined, before release.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
