VENGE VINEYARDS
2018 SCOUNT’S HONOR
PROPRIETARY RED WINE
NAPA VALLEY
Venge’s Scout’s Honor Napa Valley Red Wine is anything but your average Zinfandel blend.
Kirk Venge mastered the art of enhancing the blend with Charbono and Petite Sirah to create a concentrated, extracted red that balances the jammy characteristics from the Zinfandel.
It’s that delicious combination that inspired more poetic comments than any other blend that we’ve offered, and here’s a chance to try their 2018, which is classic to their hallmark style.
Created using a state-of-the-art, 100% gravity-flow method, the 2018 Scout’s Honor is crafted from 63% Zinfandel, 16% Charbono, 12% Petite Sirah and 9% Syrah.
The wine was created from old-vines and was made in a deep, rich, extracted style that offers oodles of blueberry cobbler, crushed herbs, and spices.
This iconic blend was authored by Kirk Venge, who was named “One of the Top 20 New Winemakers in the World” by Food & Wine Magazine.
Kirk also makes the high-scoring Janzen and Bacio Divino wines, as well as several other cult brands.

Tasting Notes: “The 2018 Scout’s Honor has a deep nose of blueberry cobbler, roasted coffee beans, dried violets and hints of vanilla. On the pallet the wine has a dense core of black cherry fruit, intense blueberry, blue herbs, black pepper, strawberry and hints of cherry pipe tobacco. The wine is absolutely delicious, so-much-so that my glass was emptied before I could finish my tasting notes, so I had to go back for a second.”

THE PRISONER
2018 PROPRIETARY RED WINE
NAPA VALLEY
Retails at: $49.00 per bottle
Memebers’ price: $42.99
With a wine as popular and recognizable as the The Prisoner, it can be a challenge to surpass expectations and a raise the bar that’s been set so high. The new 2018 Prisoner did exactly that… Our veteran tasting panel has been tasting Prisoner since their inaugural vintage, and every one of us agreed wholeheartedly that this was their best ever. The 2018 unshackles a gang of intense blue fruits, chocolate dipped raspberries, liquid violets and boysenberry. The wine is balanced, charming and chock-full of intriguing fruits and earthly hedonism.
BLIND TASTING
2015 PROPRIETARY RED
NAPA VALLEY
Members’ price: $39.99
This crowd-pleasing beauty consists of a core of Howell Mountain Zinfandel, amplified with ancient vine Petite Sirah, then ratcheted up even more with Cabernet Sauvignon from Spring Mountain.
Tasting Notes: “Alluring aromas of ripe blackberries, red plums, sweet floral notes and a touch of vanilla spice seduce your nose. A compact core of perfectly balanced cherry preserves, muddled blueberries, wild blackberries and a touch of black pepper unfurl and expand across your palate. Opulent without being inky, the supple fruit tannins combine with a very long finish to simply make you smile. Drink right now, or you can hold until 2025.”
