Mission Codename Love will find a way
STOP! Drop a bottle (or a case!) in your cart NOW. This will not last.
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we’re feeling a little nostalgic.
Who doesn’t occasionally daydream of a more innocent time. Love was in the air, the world was full of promise, gas was a dollar a gallon, AND you could score a great 92-point velvety, luscious, and dense Napa Cab for only $24…
But those days are gone… RIGHT?!
Not today!!!
If you scored some of their Sonoma Cabernet or Chardonnay from the SELLOUT offers last year, you already know.
This bottle has soul. We rarely get treated to wine like this from Napa. It’s not dripping in oak, blown out with extraction, sugared up or manipulated with any fancy winemaking tricks. It’s just honest, old-fashioned Napa Cab in a style and at a price that make us wax nostalgic.
A minimal-intervention, natural style wine - but in the best possible way. Truthfully, we generally avoid the “natty” stuff. But No Love Lost does it RIGHT. At 92-points, James Suckling obviously agrees this workhorse is, “Nicely constructed with plenty to like.”
Grab some?
Good, now go about your day (with a knowing grin and a certain pep in your step…) knowing you made a great decision.
We LOVE bringing you these kinds of finds. Truly under the radar, authentic gems from well-respected regions and vineyards. For ONLY $24 DOLLARS after an unfathomable 60% OFF!
There will be NO LOVE LOST here. That’s right. Unless you knabbed some of their wine from our past offers or you’ve tripped over their gorgeous tasting room in downtown Napa, it is likely that you’ve never heard of these folks.
This comes from California-born, first generation Cuban American, Jay Nunez, No Love Lost focuses on clean, natural winemaking style. Jay is brave enough to tackle unique varieties (recommend their Orange Picpoul, Counoise or Caringnan in the downtown Napa tasting room if you’re in the area) and after a visit to Compline wine shop where he showed some of his efforts, he received a resounding blessing to make his own label.
Unlike many of the natural wine trends, these wines are clean and brilliant and PURE. They use organic farming practices, indigenous yeast and no fining or filtering. There is complexity while maintaining the elegance and nuance of a premium Cabernet Sauvignon.
It effortlessly exudes an innocence and purity – blackberry and plum fruit, cedar, dark tobacco, and baking spices that are complex but never showy. The crushed velvet tannins balance the wines youthful vigor through an ample, warm finish that lingers long.
This is easily your new house red if you act FAST. And you won’t find it at any big box store or, or even the local shop - they sell entirely direct. With one exception wink.
Don’t let your nostalgia become regret. Lock down as much as possible now!
92 Points – James Suckling “Dark-fruited and aromatic, with aromas of blackberries, cassis, plums, cedar and spices. The palate is full-bodied with firm yet polished tannins and balanced acidity, giving flavors of dark cherries, cocoa and tobacco. Nicely constructed with plenty to like. Drink or hold.”
