The Charter Oak
This is a big Napa house list, roughly 940 bottles built around Cabernet Sauvignon, with Burgundy as the clear second pillar in both white and red. The strength runs in two directions. Local benchmarks like Corison, Spring Mountain Vineyards, Silver Oak, and Grgich Hills anchor the California side, while Leflaive, Comte Lafon, and a deep run of Domaine de la Romanee Conti carry the collector end up to $7,100 for La Tache. Median is around $225, so the floor is fair, you can open something at $16, but the depth and the trophies are where this list shows off. The glass program is small at 29 pours against the bottle count, so steer guests who want range or a specific Cabernet toward the bottles. This list rewards a guest who knows Napa Cabernet and white Burgundy and wants either a serious producer or a special occasion splurge.
