Mission Codename Dealing

We haven’t been this stunned since watching that video of the whale eating the paddleboarders (don’t worry they got spat out).

Because…today is the return of DOLUM! One of our all-time best-selling producers is back. With 95 POINTS and nearly ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS OFF!! This will FLY!

Their Napa Cab was great. The Sonoma one rocked. But this one is different. Because now they’re taking on Oakville. The prime breeding ground for some of Napa’s most coveted and most expensive Cabs.

That’s right. Dolum staked out their own vineyard right in the heart of the valley floor. A site with 40+-year-old vines that are mostly dry-farmed and tended with the utmost love.

Besides the location, there’s another ingredient in the secret sauce - Chad Alexander!

Know him? You might if you’ve been around for a while. He’s been at it for a quarter century, helping put Robert Craig and Hess Collection on the map. He actually started at Hess when he was a teenager, not even of drinking age!

Then in 2009, he launched a label under his name, sourcing odd lots from various wineries in the area and offering them at breakneck discounts. In the process, he built a legion of fans. The quality was always off the meter and the prices were always down to earth.

Moving right along to the wine - which is surely dropping into sold-out territory every minute - it’s a razztwizzling good one that’s for certain. Blackberry for days. Blueberry cobbler and cigar box. Some fantastic minerality and savory meatiness. Dusty, sweet tannins. All the components come seamlessly together into a dream team. And the PRICE!!

Word is already out there… just check out a few of the snippets we found about this very wine:

“Definitely top tier California Cabernet.”
“Exuberant fruit, absolutely delicious.”
“I am as excited about this wine as anything I’ve tasted recently.”

So, yea… get some. For real. Like forty bucks for a 95-point Oakville Cab is some sort of phenomenon. And you can bet it will vanish quickly from our site…

95 Points – James Suckling

“Attractive aromas of blackcurrants and brambleberries with toasted cedar, anisette, cinnamon and tobacco leaf. Ripe and mellow on the palate with a full body and an array of plush, finely polished tannins. Complex and refined with a succulent, bittersweet, dark-fruited finish. Better after 2026.”
