“Impeccably made.” – Jeb Dunnuck

Indeed. And INSANELY priced at $65 all the way down from the $250 release price.

When we discovered this beauty back in October, it did not have the glowing 95+ point review where JD called it “concentrated and powerful”.

But we told you all about its riches: “One mouth-filling sip, and you’ll be shouting HOLY CAB! This one packs a gut punch of flavor and intensity that’s rarely seen, even in the most expensive of cult wines made in the valley.”

Nearly 75% OFF a STAGECOACH sourced flagship Napa Cab. Monster savings, and just as big on the extraction side of things. This is one for the thrill-seeking, hedonists out there.

It doesn’t get any better. Or does it?! Because it’s made by none other than consulting winemaker Jay Bouncristiani. He’s best known for his decades at Hess Collection and Krupp Brothers, among other remarkable achievements, all lined up here!

This wine?! Name says it all. EXTENDED MACERATION! A post-fermentation process that leaves the skins on the juice for a looooong period to extract as much color, flavor, and allows time for the extra plush tannins to be extracted, and bind together, resulting in a mouthfeel that’s silky smooth, luxurious, and decadent with an extended finish to match!

All that to say, this is a big boy. This Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Stagecoach Vineyards (yep, THAT Stagecoach!) At the southern edge of Pritchard Hill, a terroir that has garnered a reputation for high-quality and critically acclaimed Cabernet, along with a reputation for PRICEY like $200+ a pop. But not today, Operatives! Normally an eye-popping $250, IF YOU CAN FIND IT. They make a few thousand cases total across their portfolio, and this is their pride and joy. And it’s yours today for barely the price of a dinner for one in Napa. An astounding near 75% off.

Think dark fruit, concentrated flavor, and a mélange of black and red berries that dance perfectly with cedar, herb, and sweet smoke. Well-structured and muscular, this is not just a wine but a full body work out! And it is one for the cellar, for sure. Easily, it will go another decade and only get better with time.

This may be the last time we see it, though, so pile up!

95+ Points – Jeb Dunnuck “Across the board, the 2023s stand out for their purity, vibrancy, and elegance, yet they still deliver depth, richness, and concentration. The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Extended Maceration sports a vivid purple/ruby hue as well as terrific aromatics of cassis, smoky tobacco, violets, and chocolate. It’s concentrated and powerful, with a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This impeccably made effort blossoms with air and will evolve gracefully over the coming two decades or more. Drink 2025-2045.”
