Punch is SOLD OUT.

Double WIA Saturday - Honorable Blue-Chip Mention!

NOOOOOO!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!

Which one?!?

Antonio Galloni’s Vinous assures that “2021 is a fabulous vintage. That’s the good news.”

“The not-so-good news…” they add “is that production is down sharply, 30-50% in many cases. It was another very early harvest, yet the wines have tremendous energy and finesse. In tasting, the 2021s show some of the savory intensity of other drought vintages – 2013 and 2014 come to mind – but with more aromatic explosiveness and greater inner sweetness.”

And the worst news? Like all good things, this too will come to an end – because we hoarded as much as we could but it’s barely enough for an offer…

We buried the lead though, huh? We’re talking of course, about the fabled CAYMUS LITERS!

One of the most profound, distinct, and recognizable products of fermentation and civilization since sliced cheese. When too much of a good thing is a good thing, especially when you GET 25% MORE WINE FOR 35% LESS.

Come again?! Relax, math fiends, it checks, and makes perfect sense, onto the wine…

Quite possibly the most recognized Cabernet from Napa since the 1970s needs no introduction. Love it or leave it, you ought to acknowledge that it is one of the most popular wines in the world.

One sip and you know why. With prime fruit sources up and down the greater Napa Valley and decades-long contracts, it’s child’s play for the Wagner Family to blend the best of the best Napa Cab year in and year out. And when a vintage like 2021 comes around, the results are obvious. Believe the hype, this is one of their best ever, with berries black to blue, crème de cassis, figs, cigar box, lush, and silky, it’s the famous Caymus style epitome. Explosive, opulent, and a Cab that you just can’t get enough of.

We’re stupefied by how astonishing a deal this is. A recent Vinepair article claims that… “Arguably the United States’ best-known fine wine, Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon embodies what many consumers think of as the definitive Napa Cab - fruit-forward, rich, velvety, and round. It’s also the only American wine among CellarTracker’s top 10 most added wines of 2022, ranking seventh. Among the year’s most consumed wines it ranks an undisputed No. 1.”

This feels like early Christmas!

Still here? Hope you already checked out with at least a case. Treat yourself!
