Mission Codename Troublemaker

We say WHOA! They say…

“Opulent and dense.” “Skyscraper-like structure and intensity.” “A stunning effort.” “A beauty, and a top, top wine of the vintage.”

Do you love those mega-steroid pumped up and puffed out Napa Cabs? The ones with “skyscraper-like structure and intensity” that get a fat 96-point accolade from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate?

If you answered yes, then you’ll love it even more when we knock a ridiculous $125 off the price. That’s kinda like getting Gamestop stock at $30!! With much less risk, obviously.

Seriously, can you find a Beckstoffer Cab for this price? Go look, we’ll wait. Actually, don’t do that because the answer is emphatically “NO”. And we only have about a few dozen cases to go around. Less now that the email is out. Less now that you’ve read this far.

We hope you enjoy training your palate to bench press 2,000 pounds of pure, deep fruit. A berry cobbler cocktail of delicious ripe fruit. This flaunts a throbbing core of dense, ripe blackberry cobbler, well-worn leather, silky crème de cassis, cardamom, and exotic Christmas baking spices. It’s all there, in a crushing complexity that leaves you begging for further exploration in the next sip. And the next.

For the record, just a handful of lucky cult wineries are granted access to this fruit, including Schrader, Carter, Paul Hobbs, and Anthem.

If you know Beckstoffer Cabs, you know they often fetch well over $300. In fact, Andy might put out a hit on us for this one. The things we do to get you these great deals, sheesh…might need to walk around town with a disguise on, or go into hiding for a while!

Worth the risk we say. Very, VERY little to go around of this as ONLY 4 barrels were made to begin with. MOVE!

96 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

“The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Single Vineyard is delicious wine with beautiful cedar wood, crème de cassis, blackberry, licorice, and a touch of camphor and incense. The wine is full-bodied, powerful (15% natural alcohol), with a multilayered mouthfeel and skyscraper-like structure and intensity. This is a beauty, and a top, top wine of the vintage. Drink it over the next 25 to 30 years. Drink 2016-2045”

95 Points – The Tasting Panel

“Opulent and dense with luscious texture and bright fruit; juicy, intense, and ripe; a complex, deep wine from one of Napa’s most celebrated vineyards.”

94 Points, Cellar Selection – Wine Enthusiast

“A stunning effort from Beckstoffer’s famously gravelly site, this is a 100% varietal wine from one clone, made in a tiny amount. Exquisite aromas of blackberry and leather surround a velvety texture and spiky acidity, the tannins integrated and lengthy, with room to grow over time. Powerfully full-bodied, this is a classic representation of the valley in expansive celebration of a ridiculously good vintage. Drink now through 2023.”
