Mission Codename That Familiar Tingle
Frisson: Sudden strong feeling of excitement, a thrill.
Can you feel it? The air is positively charged with a buzz. The kind only a ground-shaking deal like this can produce. Goosebumps? Yea we got ‘em - 70% OFF has that effect!
Frisson has been immensely popular on our site. From their proprietary red to the Rutherford Cab and now THIS.
Today we’re back with their Coombsville Cabernet. Once $125, now priced not at $50… or $40… try $39!! Was there a line-item error on the PO? Maybe. Could we have sold it for more? Probably. But we’re keeping it real because you NEED this in your life.
Something happens to many people who visit Napa. They get the bug. The winemaking bug… a select few that act on it. Terry was one of them. One night at a dinner he met winemaker Wayne Donaldson (of Moet Hennessey, Chandon, Louis Martini…) and the two hit it off. Wayne told him he’d call him up if he came across some extra grapes - and soon after Terry had some prime Diamond Mountain grapes in his possession. Ever since he’s been cranking out some fantastic quality wines, like this one.
For the uninitiated, Frisson wines are big, plush, and opulent. Forward with fruit, deep with complexity, and impossible to resist. Their Coombsville bottling showcases all the dark black fruit this region is known for - dried black plums, black currant, Mexican vanilla, and savory nuances of worn leather, tar and spices. The only negative is how fast the bottle will drain once you open it.
This drinks so far above our price, it’s crazy.
And you’d be crazy to miss it if you enjoy premium Napa Cabs without the triple digit price tag. Of course, we’re counting the hours (minutes?) until it sells out… again, 70% OFF so move fast.
