Mission Codename Lightning strikes twice…
Only a handful of souls know the deep secrets and mysteries behind this wine. The winemaker and the vineyards? A mystery…
But one thing that’s clear as day? The absolute unmatched value on display. Nobody needs to know you only paid $25 for this premium Napa Cab.
Maybe it’s better to just let them think you paid $125.
They probably don’t let you ship wine to the loony bin - which is where you’ll be if you try to explain what you paid to the average non-Operative.
So first, secure as much as you can. And then come back for the details - because although murky and opaque, one indisputable fact is this: you’re looking at one of the best deals on a Napa Cabernet from arguably the best Napa vintage in history.
Normally, we LOVE mysteries, being Spies and all…but this stays true to its name. There is NO information on this winery available. Our source was tight lipped about it, offering up nothing despite our persuasive charm. Mountain fruit, they murmured. And something about expensive French oak. But otherwise, details were not forthcoming.
Our curiosity was only piqued after tasting the first pour. INKY but fresh! Soft and expansive, but not heavy. Gobs of ripe fruit! Massive black currant and dark chocolate-scented aromas with a whiff of vanilla, explosive and enticing. There is no letting up in the mouth, as it’s exceptionally concentrated, full-bodied, with plush tannins and bright acidity. While it’ll age for years to come, this is drinking SO nicely right now.
One detail that’s plain and clear in this whole story is the LEGENDARY 2023 vintage. “As the fruit began rolling in across the valley, there were whispers of a ‘once in a lifetime’ vintage.” reports The Wine Independent. “Having tasted hundreds of 2023 barrel samples by now and comparing these to all Napa vintages I’ve tasted going back through the 1960s, they might just be right.”
Bottom line, this lays waste to anything in its path for the $25 price. At a crushing 80% OFF back up the truck and load it up by the case.
