Cabernet Sauvignon
California: Napa Valley
Mission Briefing
Mr. Charming
“Make way! Here he comes! Ring bells! Bang the drums! Are you gonna love this guy!”
Oh man, you are SO gonna LOVE this guy! Like you do all Grand Napa wines. For obvious reasons. They make some outstanding quality and they give us some truly mind-bending deals - like this plush, opulent Napa Cabernet, for nearly 60% off.
His Highness the Crown Prince ascends from the kingdom of Grand Napa. As you probably already know, they’ve been behind some rock-solid wines from their outpost in Rutherford, sourcing fruit from some of the very best vineyard sites in the Napa Valley. The exact vineyards for this wine aren’t disclosed, but when their neighbors include the likes of Staglin, Spottswoode, and Opus One you can imagine the quality is way up there. There’s just one huge difference between this and anything from those superstars - the price.
Totally primed for immediate enjoyment, this comes packed and stacked with a huge, opulent, hedonistic barrage of fruit. All sorts of lush blueberry and boysenberry jam, a drizzle of caramel, some exotic spice and a creamy vanilla layer come raining . A true full throttle, modern style that’s thoroughly enjoyable. For this price? Unbelievable.
Pure Napa Cab at $25 is not a common occurrence. These are not normal times. Can’t say much more because the last Grand Napa we sold out fast, the eager fans are already descending like voracious piranhas to snag it all. Claim your share of nobility.
