Woohoo! Cabernet cheat code unlocked!! Your price on this $100 bottle just dropped to $28!
Yes, the Cabernet deals are FLOWING these days. Every day it seems like we’re crushing the final boss and tearing down the closely guarded gates of retail pricing. But instead of the Konami code, we use our deep relationships, psychological maneuvers, negotiation tactics, and devastatingly good looks to score eye-popping deals like this.
Today’s gutsy OAKVILLE Cabernet was made for your drinking pleasure, and it comes from that most special area in Napa Valley where the most elite producers reside.
Sourced from two vineyards:
- Holmes - sits at the foot of the Mayacamas, just a stone’s throw away from Harlan Estate and Opus One.
- Oakville Ranch - on the eastern side, next to Ovid and Dalla Valle.
Keep in mind prices for any of these, or their neighbors are easily 10x what we’re asking.
Like some similar wines we offered recently, this was once destined for restaurants. But unlike most Oakville Cabs, it’ll keep your wallet happy too. They sure nailed it with this one. It serves up a lush, round, fruit-driven palate of raspberry and cherry pie, clove and allspice, vanilla, and cocoa. If you’ve had any of the Houndstooth, Sling & Spear, or similar types of outrageous Cab deals from us, you know what to expect.
Either way, we can’t wait for you to taste it! Make sure you get some before it sells out.
