Mission Codename MFO-15
“The excellence of his wines should come as no surprise.” – Wine Spectator
No surprise indeed as Miner’s legacy in Napa runs deep.
Their quality has long been established. But we’re sitting here astounded. Because we have TEN outstanding Miner Cabernet deals lined up. Each one with an average discount of $75.
2015 is a 94 point vintage for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon according to Wine Spectator, “quality is high but more variable than 2016 or 2013, as sugars sometimes raced ahead of phenolics”
And each received our vote of confidence, tasted twice by your trusted Spies. You rarely see these wines available at a discount. At these prices? An entirely new phenomenon. But this is the real deal.
Honest winemaking, from a family-owned winery, is cellared perfectly in their underground caves. And heading to your doorstep - if you move quickly enough! If you like your Cabs well-aged, broad-shouldered, fully polished, move quickly.
95 Points – Decanter “Originating in 1996, the Miner Family Winery brand was born when Dave Miner, then President of Oakville Ranch Vineyards, decided to start his own label. The grapes for the Miner Cabernet Sauvignon are sourced from their Schlein’s Vineyard & Buselli Vineyard in Oakville, and the 2015 vintage is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, and 7% Merlot. Created by winemaker Stacey Vogel and overseen by Director of Winemaking Gary Brookman, the wine sees 21 months of ageing in 55% new French oak before release. Drink 2022-2040.”
