It’s the kind of rivalry collectors dream about.

On one side: Rutherford—home to that signature “dusty” tannin structure, plush dark fruit, and age-worthy grip. Names like Scarecrow, Caymus Special Selection, and Quintessa define its legacy.

On the other: Oakville—polished, powerful, and home to some of Napa’s most legendary plots. Think Harlan, Opus One, Rudd, and To-Kalon–sourced treasures. Rich textures, seductive aromatics, and undeniable pedigree.

This curated selection brings both AVAs into sharp focus—top producers, standout vintages, and bottles that show just how different Cabernet Sauvignon can be when terroir takes the lead.

Whether you're drawn to Rutherford’s earthy edge or Oakville’s luxurious depth, now’s the time to stock up.
