The 2021 Damien Resama Proprietary Red Wine is everything you want in a bold, flavorful red—but here’s the kicker: it’s priced to give you incredible value without the hefty cost of some high-end wines.

Crafted by Charles Bartlett, the mastermind behind some of Napa's top estates, including Beau Vigne and On Q.

In 2013, he launched Damien Winery, a small-scale operation that focuses on quality over quantity. Each year, only a limited amount of wine is produced, and every bottle is crafted with care and precision. From handpicking the grapes to gently transferring the wine to barrels, every step is done by hand. No shortcuts, just the best possible wine.

The philosophy behind Damien Winery is simple: make exceptional wine that speaks for itself. The grapes come from low-yielding, small lots, sourced from trusted growers who share Charles’s passion for quality.

And while this wine could easily command a higher price, Damien Resama is all about delivering exceptional quality at a value that makes it an easy choice. You get a wine that tastes like it should cost a lot more, without the sticker shock.

Aging: 26 months in French oak.

A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.

Notes of fresh cigar tobacco add a rich, smoky nuance that balances the opulent fruit profile. Inky mulberries and stewed blackberries bring a bold, dark fruit character, while delicate violets lend a floral lift. Ripe purple fruit aromas signaling the wine’s bold intensity and expressive nature. Selected specifically for its remarkable concentration and weight, this barrel showcases a vibrant, fresh acidity that enlivens the palate and balances the wine’s depth.

A richly attractive nose of forest berry, dried strawberry, tobacco, and toasty cedar wood with a hint of graphite. This full-bodied wine features decadent vanilla-laced blueberry, silky, polished tannins, and a lingering thread of chocolate and cinnamon dusting the mineral backbone. Juicy and easy-drinking, this field blend is crafted for near-term enjoyment. ~91 Decanter
