The Meeker Paddle Reserve is GONE.

Yet for those who were late, or for any red blend fans looking to snag a bargain under $20, here’s a LAST CALL on the most popular vintage of the already most popular Cerro!

When we sold the 2016 vintage of this potent little fruit bomb rarely have we ever had so many reorder requests. Today Cerro returns with a newer vintage, at an EVEN LOWER PRICE. Just under $20, just unbelievable. 

It not only packs that same 6.7L Power Stroke V8 type of raw power as its predecessor but also layers in even more oomph.

Fans of light, delicate reds please look away! We could not be more blown away by the sheer opulence and pure over-the-top Californian style on display here. Showy and without any sense of shyness or reservation - calling it a Special Second Selection seems appropriate.

That makes sense actually, because owner Derek Beitler is the nephew of Caymus founder Chuck Wagner, and he basically grew up in the cellar there, honing his craft over the years. Eventually, he headed up two insanely successful labels - Carne Humana and Skyhook - both of which deliver a similar balance of power, quality, and value. Now he’s pushing the envelope again with Cerro.

An inky, dark pour hints at what’s to come – which is a PROFOUNDLY concentrated and lavish wine that MUST be tasted. The blend changes from year to year, and this one checks in with 50% Petit Verdot, 40% Petite Sirah and 10% Zinfandel. The depth of hyper-ripe explosive fruit can hardly be described - all manner of blackberry jam and blueberry cobbler, baked plum, Ghirardelli cocoa nibs and licorice flood your palate with mouthcoating opulence. It’s rich like Warren Buffet, with a chewy and dense body and enough complexity to keep even the most jaded connoisseur interested. In short, it’s a total treat for anyone who loves that unabashedly hedonistic “California” style red - for a price that’s almost unimaginable.

After the resounding popularity of the 2016, the 2017 managed to break all kinds of new records but sadly, like all good things, is near the end of the inventory. If you like ripe, DO MOT MISS as this rockin’ red blend will BLOW YOUR MIND!
