Have you ever looked up an old flame and it turns out they’ve been hitting the gym and look better than ever?

Well Deerfield Ranch has been putting in the reps.

In case you’re a new Operative on the block, Deerfield is an all time fan favorite going back over a decade. Veteran Robert Rex along with winemaker Cecilia Valdiva have been crushing in the Sonoma Valley for 40+ years and they’ve picked up a thing or two about how to make mountain Cabs.

It had been far too long since we featured one of these beauties, so we slid into their DMs and said “sup?”

And boy, we’re glad we did because we hit the jackpot - Today’s wine has not even been released to the public, so call it a Wine Spies Exclusive! (Yes! Deerfield really ages their wine 6 years before releasing them for their Reserve wines!)

Deerfield hasn’t just been working on mass, but also perfected their form. This single-vineyard Cabernet boasts silky smooth tannins complemented by bright acidity. That’s a perfect compliment to the ample serving of perfectly ripe mountain fruit flavors with notes of plum, dark cherry, and Earl grey tea. Robert knows a thing or two about how to make wines from these kinds of vines since Wolf Run sits on the same hill that Deerfield itself is located on. That’s the heart of the Valley of the Moon, home to Sonoma Mountain where you’ll find some of the best Cab vines in California.

Um, oh by the way… It’s more than 50% off.

Yep, you read that right. Looks like our old flame is still into us.

Are you still reading?! What are you doing? Like we said. This is an ALL TIME FAVORITE - you know what that means - The clock is ticking and it’ll be gone soon.
