Go on… just head over and add a few to your Locker. Trust in your Agents of Wine and lock down some Napa Cab for a SONG. This is truly one of the better treasures we’ve unearthed in recent memory with a Caymus connection like no other. And yes, we share the “But who is Cannatelli?” and “Is that a kind of pasta?” questions you likely have. They’re a tiny blip of a winery in Napa, and it’s not pasta. It’s NAPA CAB WELL UNDER $30.

Today’s offer clocks in at a full 71% OFF the $95 winery price. Do not hesitate on this one. What precious little we scored has a strong chance of being gone by the afternoon…you’ve been warned.

What a find. Almost nobody has heard of Cannatelli, sure. But after tasting it, I know at least two Agents called an Agent Pick on it.

The story is similar to many others here. Len and Judy Cannatelli had enough money to purchase a property in the valley, just outside of Yountville, complete with its own vineyard. They met a great neighbor/winemaker. And hired a terrific vineyard manager. They started making some fantastic wines.

Consulting winemaker Paul Colantuoni has a truly impressive resume. His humble beginnings at Robert Mondavi and Neyers led him to a couple of really impressive European detours at Vieux Télégraphe in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Brancaia in the Maremma, Tuscany. Returning to Napa, he took on Constant, Alanté, Frisson, and Rocca Family as clients from 2008 through 2021, while making Cannatelli from 2013 until 2023.

And the vineyard? It was planted by the one and only Joe Wagner of Caymus to supply some of the best grapes in their arsenal. Their tiny 1/4 acre estate vineyard sits just across from Robert Sinskey and Cliff Lede, near Gemstone. Great company and proven grounds for top-tier Cab.

And that’s exactly what you have in the bottle. Not surprising given the 2021 vintage was one of the best in decades. It comes loaded with plenty of red and black plum, cassis, shaved pencil lead, and warm blackberry pie all stacked in layers. Velvety soft in the mouth, and perfectly balanced with fruit, spice, and savory nuances. With a little age, the tannins are smooth as silk, and the finish carries on for ages with a graham cracker and spice-laden note. No doubt, this has entered a perfect drinking window, with much life left.

Sometimes the whole marketing side, where you actually sell the wine, is a tricky piece of the puzzle for a small producer. With no distribution and such small production, they relied entirely on direct sales. And sometimes, the Spies stumble upon a hidden gem like this, help liberate it from the cellar, and bring it into your home for an absolute STEAL.

Too bad there is so little to go around. Discoveries like these are RARE!
