Revelette Wines Guide: Best Cabernet & Red Blends

What to Drink Today: A Guide to Revelette Red Wines

The name "Revelette" has quickly become synonymous with two things: rare, high-proof Kentucky bourbon and world-class dining at The Rutledge.
‍
But for those who have visited the restaurant or follow the brand closely, there is another jewel in the portfolio that demands equal attention, Revelette Wines.
‍
Much like our approach to whiskey, where scarcity and barrel selection are paramount, the Revelette approach to wine is rooted in meticulous sourcing. Partnering with premier vineyards in Napa Valley, we have created a portfolio of reds designed specifically to stand up to a Prime steak and hold their own against the biggest heritage names in California.
‍
Here is an inside look at the portfolio and why these bottles deserve a place in your cellar.

The Philosophy: West Coast Fruit, Southern Hospitality

Creating a private wine label is easy, creating a great one is difficult. Many restaurant brands simply slap a label on bulk juice. Revelette took the opposite route.

We sourced fruit from the most prestigious growing regions in California, focusing on terroir that produces deep, structured, and age-worthy wines. The goal was to create a wine that is bold, elegant, and uncompromising on quality.

The Flagship: Revelette Cabernet Sauvignon

Region: Napa Valley, California

‍The Profile: Bold, Structured, and Iconic.

If the Revelette Navy Label is the king of their bourbon line, the Cabernet Sauvignon is the king of their wines. Sourced from Napa Valley, this bottle captures exactly why the region is world-renowned.

‍Tasting Notes: Expect a nose of dark currants, black cherry, and a hint of cedar box. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm, polished tannins. It delivers that signature "Napa Dust,” an earthy, cocoa-powder texture that balances the ripe fruit.

The Crowd Pleaser: Revelette Red Blend

Region: California (Napa Sourcing)

‍The Profile: Lush, Fruit-Forward, and Versatile.

While the Cabernet is a powerhouse, the Red Blend is the diplomat. It is designed to be approachable immediately upon opening, requiring less decanting time.

‍Tasting Notes: This blend often leans softer, with notes of ripe plum, vanilla bean, and baking spices. It lacks the aggressive bite of a young Cab, trading it for a velvety, smooth finish that coats the palate.

Why Buy Revelette Wine?

In a market flooded with thousands of labels, why choose this one?

Curation over Volume: Like our single-barrel bourbon, this is a boutique production. It isn't mass-produced for grocery store bottom shelves; it is produced for a discerning clientele.

‍Value for Provenance: Napa Valley Cabernets of this caliber often retail for $150+. Revelette offers a competitive entry-point for fruit of this pedigree.

In a portfolio rooted in the same principles of meticulous sourcing and uncompromising quality as their acclaimed bourbon, Revelette Wines has created a new standard for Napa Valley reds. Whether you're uncorking the bold, structured Cabernet Sauvignon for a Prime cut or sharing the lush, approachable Red Blend, these are bottles built to be savored. Don't just follow the crowd—invest in the next heritage name from California, a label that proves meticulous curation is the key to true distinction.
