You asked for more…so it’s back! Or maybe you hesitated. Maybe you grabbed some and crushed it faster than you planned. Either way, here is your second chance for that TOP SECRET, Yountville treasure with the major NDA tied to it. Under $30 for a library Napa Cab that’s already ten years into aging beautifully.

Library Napa Cab? ✅

From a stellar vineyard? Great winemaker? From an excellent vintage? Triple ✅

Below is the 411 we can share (and like any great secret, if it has to be a secret, there is a reason why), cuz it seriously would kill the flagship wine of the winery and winemaker that shall not be named.

Altra Wines was started by partners with deep ties in the wine industry. Relationships that they leveraged to give them access to some of the best fruit and talent in Napa. The only catch, like great spies, they were SWORN to secrecy… (In other words…total NDA) they weren’t allowed to talk about it. To anyone.

Their production was small, and those who knew, well, they would snap up everything they could! If you are a long-term Operative, you may remember we offered their spectacular Rosé and Sauvignon Blanc years ago. But it’s been almost a decade!

When they reached out to us, out of the blue, we couldn’t believe it. And we couldn’t wait to try the wine.

Labeled simply as a Red Wine, make no mistake… This wine is pulse-quickening Cabernet Sauvignon going undercover! It’s so top-secret, they didn’t label it by variety as another layer of subterfuge to disguise its true nature.

So, what are we allowed to say?

First, it comes from one of Yountville’s famed vineyards. A historic site, wines labeled with the vineyard’s name routinely score 95-100 Points from top critics. We wish we could say more! But it is as legit as they come. The owner’s top bottling can sell for more than $500!!!

The winemaker as well is a closely guarded secret. In 2015 he was a rising star in Napa, whose strong ties to Bordeaux and knack for making excellent, top-scoring Cabernet grabbed the attention of collectors and critics. But to say his name would be giving the game away.

It is this top-secret pedigree that is the key to this wine’s longevity.

Wine Advocate only reviewed this vintage, noting almost ten years ago it’s expected to evolve to 2033.

Out of the bottle, it reveals lively currant compote and ripe blackberry cobbler aromas underpinned with cigar tobacco, worn leather, and cedar complexity. On the palate the tannins have been broken into a crushed velvet texture, still firm and plump, but softened and supple. The quality and pedigree is immediately obvious and the wine lingers comfortably. Drinking great with another decade left in the bottle.

We’ve shared with you as much as we could with this 70% OFF asset. We are spies after all, but IYKYK 🤐 Get this second chance while you can.
