Mission Codename Superstar
Are you ready for something special?
We were stunned when we tried this. Could not believe we even got the opportunity. Pure luxury Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, from one of the valley’s most iconic estate producer. Just entering its prime, this 2019 is stellar!
None other than Robert Parker, Jr. has called them a “Superstar.”
It sells at the winery for $325. But today?! More than half off!
The winery rarely allows discounts, and this is the lowest price in the country. A worthy addition to any collection. The only way we convinced them to let us offer it at this price – had to be Classified!
So, what can we say? First, it is one of the most beautiful wineries in Napa, constructed in the shell of a historic ghost winery.
Everything they do is completely meticulous, from their farming through to the bottle.
Their consulting oenologist from the beginning is one of the most renowned in the world. “He’s the wine-world equivalent of an NBA All-Star who’s won numerous Championship games—in his case, a string of 100-point scores—and played for all the best teams,” praises Food & Wine.
They are known for their single vineyard releases, that routinely garner critical praise from 98-100 points from top critics. Parker has called them “sensational wines,” that hail from best sites in Napa Valley. And this is a blend of those sites! It is a special blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from all four of their grand-cru level estate vineyards, including fruit from their perfect-scoring single vineyards.
It is their expression of a ‘Napa’ bottling, a traditional blend including mountain and valley floor fruit that harkens back to the historic style of blending across vineyards.
Citing scores would be giving the game away, but without saying too much, one critic raved, “…it reminds me of a great Saint-Julien from Bordeaux.” Another called it “Pure and fine.” A third, “Rich and sumptuous to the core… offers tremendous appeal to match its stylish personality.”
All agree that this wine will reward patient cellaring – worthy of another decade. One taste, and you’ll see why.
It’s drinking beautifully now! Pouring purple, with a subtle bricking to the rim, complex aromas of black cherries, cassis, tobacco, graphite, leather, anise, violets, and a dash of mint. It’s a mouth-filling powerhouse of silken tannins, ripe fruit, warming spices, and toast, building to a lasting finish worthy of Cult Cabernet’s at twice the wine’s full value!
The ripe, generous fruit of the brilliant 2019 vintage is on full display here. And it’s only going to get better with time.
At over 50% off, grab as many bottles as you can and enjoy them over the next ten years or more.
It may take that long for an opportunity like this to come around again.
