Mission Codename Flower power

Sometimes we find a sample in a lineup that stands so clearly above the rest. One that is so utterly compelling and well-made that it’s obvious.

This is one of those. You’ll immediately understand why it was released at $110. But you’ll be thrilled that you paid far, FAR less.

With 62% OFF today it clocks in at just over $40. A steal for the quality. Well-deserved 94 points if we may add!

While young, it drinks beautifully. Supple and polished with a super silky ‘iron fist in velvet glove’ style. Fruit-forward, it offers uploads of mixed-berry goodness. Ripe red fruits like fresh summer cherries and cassis mix with deep black/red plum, bittersweet cocoa… The oak, fruit, spices, and other nuanced flavors marry together seamlessly and flow on a bed of river rock polished tannins.

The magic? Once again, we bring Chad Alexander into the picture.

You might know him from the ever-popular Dolum offers, but he’s been at it for a quarter century. He helped put Robert Craig and Hess Collection on the map. He actually started at Hess when he was a teenager, not even of drinking age!

We’re scared to say much more - big discounts and Napa Cabs always make for a compelling offer. And this is perhaps one of the best of the year so far.

Going, going…

94 Points – The Tasting Panel

“A floral beauty, graced with jasmine, peony, and hibiscus. Well-developed tannins are supple and pacify the palate. Black cherry and sark chocolate resume a companionship on mid-palate. Luscious and rich, with a concentrated finish.”
