Silver Oak 2020 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
For the mom who knows her vintages and appreciates timeless elegance, Silver Oak’s 2020 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a must-have bottle.

This Mother's Day, honor mom's impeccable taste with a gift that’s as timeless as it is memorable: Larkmead’s 2022 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from one of Napa Valley’s most storied vineyards, this expressive wine captures the estate’s rich history and nuanced terroir. Primarily Cabernet, this wine also showcases an impressive 18% Cabernet Franc, lending floral aromatics and refined texture to its classic Cabernet depth. Layers of red plum, wild raspberry, dark cocoa, and crushed sage unfold into warm notes of anise and vanilla. Aged 20 months in 64% new French oak, this beautiful Larkmead Cabernet is more than a gift—it’s an invitation to savor life's finest moments.
For the mom who prefers bubbles without the buzz, French Bloom’s La Lumière and Le Vase offer a meaningful, elegant twist on traditional gifting. Known as the world leader in luxury non-alcoholic sparkling wine, French Bloom has created an exclusive Mother’s Day duo that combines its signature Le Blanc and Le Rosé bottles with sustainably crafted home décor. La Lumière transforms upcycled glass into a dreamy candle holder, while Le Vase reimagines the bottle as a chic vessel for fresh florals. Designed by co-founders and fellow mothers Constance Jablonski and Maggie Frerejean-Taittinger in collaboration with Q de Bouteilles, these limited-edition pieces aren’t just beautiful—they’re a toast to mindful living, motherhood, and the glow of everyday moments.
For the mother who appreciates both power and grace in a bottle, Ink Grade’s 2020 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is an exquisite choice. At $195, this cellar-worthy red is harvested from the highest-elevation parcels of Ink Grade’s rugged, volcanic terroir—an area often referred to as Napa’s answer to a Grand Cru. With 30-year-old vines at its core, this wine is built to age beautifully, making it a timeless gift to mark a meaningful moment.
Expect deep notes of cassis, orange rind, tarragon, and star anise, all layered with earthy undertones of bay leaf, madrone blossoms, and a whisper of Howell Mountain’s signature volcanic dust. It’s elegant, expressive, and enduring—just like her.
If your Mother's Day plans involve a sunny brunch and plenty of laughter, CHANDON Sparkling Rosé in a magnum is the ultimate way to pop the celebration wide open. Winemaker Pauline Lhote’s beloved bubbly is light, fresh, and just festive enough to turn a simple toast into a statement moment.
Perfectly pink and incredibly versatile, this sparkling rosé pairs effortlessly with everything from croissants and berries to smoked salmon and spring quiche. Plus, the magnum format isn’t just chic—it ensures Mom gets a little extra sparkle in every pour. Consider this your brunch table’s new centerpiece.
For a Mother’s Day picnic that’s as breezy and beautiful as she is, reach for a chilled bottle of J Vineyards 2023 Estate Pinot Gris ($36). This crisp white wine is spring in a glass, with delicate honeysuckle and jasmine aromas, followed by juicy notes of peach and pear on the palate.
It’s the kind of wine that practically demands a sun-drenched park blanket, a baguette, and something creamy. We suggest pairing it with burrata, fresh peach slices, and basil—a flavor trio that echoes the wine’s floral elegance and orchard-fresh charm.
Whether your mom is the brunch-hosting queen, the picnic-loving minimalist, or the connoisseur who loves a wine cellar with stories, these bottles bring flavor, fun, and a little luxury to her special day. Because she deserves more than just a card—she deserves a toast. Raise your glass to all the moms who make life richer, brighter, and a little more sparkling every day.
