Why This Tasting is Extraordinary

Wines That Rarely Leave the Mailing List 🔐

Roy Estate wines are notoriously difficult to acquire. With production intentionally limited and distribution tightly controlled, these bottles are reserved almost exclusively for their private mailing list.

This tasting represents a rare opportunity to experience wines that most collectors never encounter.

Grand Crus de Napa Valley 🏆

Roy Estate has earned its place among Napa’s elite producers. Their wines command $300-350 per bottle and regularly receive acclaim from critics and collectors worldwide. This is Napa Valley winemaking at its absolute pinnacle.

Vertical Tasting Experience 📊

Compare two vintages side-by-side of both their flagship Cabernet Sauvignon and their prestigious Mr. Evans bottling. Understand how vintage variation and aging potential express themselves in world-class wines.

Presented by Kathryn Reynolds 👩‍🎓

Learn directly from Kathryn Reynolds of Roy Estate. Her insider knowledge and intimate connection to these wines will reveal stories and details you won’t find in any wine magazine.

Strictly Limited Seating ⚠️

Due to the rarity and cost of these wines, seating is extremely limited. This ensures every guest receives proper attention and optimal tasting conditions for wines of this caliber.

Investment Value Understanding 💎

At $99 per person for four wines that retail for $300-350 each, you’re tasting approximately $1,400 worth of wine.

This is wine education and experience that serious collectors pay thousands to acquire.

Four Wines, Two Vintages, Absolute Excellence

2018 Roy Estate Cabernet Sauvignon – $349.99

The Established Classic

From an exceptional Napa vintage, this Cabernet showcases the maturity and development that comes with proper aging. By 2026, this wine will have evolved beyond its youth, revealing secondary characteristics of leather, tobacco, and cedar alongside its core of dark fruit. This is Roy Estate with bottle age—a perspective few ever experience.

What to expect: Integrated tannins, complex aromatics, the kind of elegance that only time can bring to Napa Cabernet.

2021 Roy Estate Cabernet Sauvignon – $349.99

The Rising Star

A more recent vintage that demonstrates Roy Estate’s consistent excellence across different growing conditions. While younger than the 2018, this wine already shows the structure, depth, and intensity that will allow it to age gracefully for decades.

What to expect: Powerful fruit expression, firm tannins, explosive aromatics, and the promise of greatness to come.

2018 Mr. Evans – $299.99

The Cult Favorite (Mature)

Mr. Evans represents Roy Estate’s artistry with their estate fruit. Named for a key figure in the winery’s history, this bottling often flies under the radar compared to the flagship Cabernet—but insiders know it as one of Napa’s hidden gems. With age, it reveals remarkable complexity.

What to expect: Savory notes, refined structure, the kind of wine that makes collectors lean in closer.

2021 Mr. Evans – $299.99

The Cult Favorite (Young)

Experience Mr. Evans in its youth. This younger vintage shows why serious collectors snap up every release—the wine’s fundamental quality and aging potential are immediately apparent even before time works its magic.

What to expect: Concentrated fruit, layered complexity, structural integrity that promises decades of evolution.

Napa Valley’s Best-Kept Secret

Roy Estate operates in deliberate obscurity. While other Napa producers chase headlines and high scores, Roy Estate focuses exclusively on what matters: exceptional fruit, meticulous winemaking, and wines that age gracefully for decades.

Their estate vineyards are located in one of Napa Valley’s most coveted sites, where optimal sun exposure, well-draining soils, and cool evening breezes create ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. Every decision—from canopy management to harvest timing to barrel selection—is made with a single question in mind: How will this affect the wine in 20 years?

The result is a portfolio of wines that represent the absolute pinnacle of Napa Valley Cabernet. These are not wines for immediate gratification. They’re built for cellaring, for special occasions, for moments that deserve something truly extraordinary.

Production is intentionally limited. Distribution is carefully controlled. Most of their wine goes directly to a mailing list that has years-long waitlists. Finding Roy Estate wines in retail is nearly impossible.

Which is exactly why this tasting is so remarkable.
