About the event
Experience two remarkable expressions of California winemaking—the Sonoma Coast’s grace and Napa Valley’s power—crafted by one of the region’s most sought-after talents.
Memento Mori specializes in Cabernet Sauvignon crafted from Napa Valley’s most acclaimed sites, including Beckstoffer Dr. Crane, Beckstoffer Las Piedras, Weitz Vineyard, Oakville Ranch, Vine Hill Ranch, and their own 4-acre Estate at the base of Diamond Mountain.
Winemaker Sam Kaplan meticulously crafts five Cabernet Sauvignon wines annually, with total production limited to fewer than 2,000 cases. The "Flagship" Cabernet is the soul of the portfolio, blending fruit from all partner vineyards to achieve a balance of elegance, power, and texture. In addition to the Flagship and Estate bottlings, they produce three rare single-vineyard Cabernets from Dr. Crane, Las Piedras, and Vine Hill Ranch, which are exclusively allocated to long-term collectors.
We are also proud to feature Sam Kaplan’s personal brand, MAXEM, which he founded with his wife, Nancy.…
