Mission Codename Quick like a bunny
Cabernet! 100% STAG’S LEAP (just not labeled so) specifically, will always be hot like Hansel.
Any day of the week, 24/7, you’ll run the risk of missing out if you wait long after reading this. A solid 60% OFF?! Are you fast enough??
Because like BRAWNDO (the thirst mutilator) it’s what the people CRAVE.
Especially when we de-tune the price from $70 down to $28. NO. BRAINER.
Napa has plenty of big names, with big prices, and the Cabernet flows freely. It also has plenty of tiny, family-run operations like Coniglio. Wines you will never see in Costco. Probably not even at your local merchant. But today you can ride the coattails of our fellow Agents and scoop up this “locals-only” discovery for a steal!
Sourced from a much lauded and respected single vineyard just off the Silverado Trail, where alluvial and red volcanic soils power some of the best Cabs in the area. And the price tags on those wines? We don’t need to tell you how high they go. For legal reasons the exact vineyard must remain shrouded in mystery, but we find that usually, as in this case works in our favor.
This unapologetic Stag’s Leap Cab, certified to be so by the owner who had to omit that little tidbit from the label thanks to that NDA obligation, gets all up in your business with toasty, ripe, spicy and juicy. It’s classically endowed Napa as you’d expect - all bursting with blackberry, boysenberry, cassis, fresh-milled Tellicherry peppercorns, and sweet toasted oak spices.
Coniglio means rabbit in Italian and pays tribute to the family legacy of the father and son team Charles E. Coniglio and Steven C. Coniglio. Charles’ grandpa emigrated from Sicily in the 19th century bringing the winemaking genes with him, along with the pride of that heritage evident in every drop of this wine.
This is how it goes, Operatives, we taste through SO MANY wines fearing that they will be mediocre at best until one like this that knocks our socks off comes our way, then the endless negotiations begin to bring it to you at the best possible price. One taste and you’ll know why we toil so.
Reminds us of the ‘bank error in your favor’ card in Monopoly to be honest, so seize the day!
