Metzker’s back with a Spring Mountain Cab Under $50!

And we’re putting $76 back in your pocket on every bottle. No matter how you look at it, this 94-pointer from Decanter is a winner. Not many great deals come down from Spring Mountain these days…

Metzker genuinely keeps blowing us away; it just keeps on giving. Hits so far include a Howell Mountain Cab and a mean Terra di Promissio Pinot. There are others… but this really stood out!

PhD geneticist Mike Metzker founded the label. He brings the same exacting precision to sourcing grapes that he uses to sequence the human genome.

He has one non-negotiable rule. Source only from the most prestigious sites in Napa and Sonoma. No compromises.

Winemaker Melissa Apter Castro crafted it, one of Napa’s 7 Most Exciting Winemakers in Napa Valley. She is now with Duckhorn. Before that, Antica on Atlas Peak. Before that, the prestigious SuperTuscan Tignanello.

What do you get when a geneticist and an Antinori-trained winemaker walk into a Spring Mountain vineyard? CLASSIC PERFECTION with POWER AND FINESSE!

Their previous vintage Cabs back it up with pedigree. Mid-90s scores galore, from Dunnuck to Decanter and beyond.

This is a serious bargain at the $125 release price for Spring Mountain. At $49, resistance is futile.

The district remains one of the most enigmatic of all of Napa’s appellations in the clouds. Even getting up there is hard, let alone finding an affordable Cab from up there.

Wine Advocate explains, “the district’s only thoroughfare is a narrow, winding, forested road that cannot accommodate much traffic. Philip Togni recalls that when he arrived in the early 1970s, there was a spring-fed horse trough at one point partway up the hill. The payoff at many properties is an exquisite view overlooking the Napa Valley or - at the very least - compelling wines in secluded woodland settings.”

Compelling it is. This dense, purple-colored, perfumed, quintessentially Spring Mountain Cabernet smells of violets and black cherries.

Full-bodied, elegant and precise, with dense, concentrated, powerful fruit. This intense gorgeousness will age gracefully for decades to come.

But we don’t have that much time with it. Production is small, and we have but a fraction of it available before it goes poof.

94 Points – Decanter “Explosively red-fruited, with cherry fruit, vanilla, sagebrush, and minty notes, with powerful ripe tannins, espresso bean, and great silky-velvety textures. Medium-bodied and fruit-driven on the finish. Drink 2026-2046.”
