Mission Codename Shadowy
“Exuberant.” – Wine Spectator
Going CLASSIFIED again, Spooktober-style.
We normally are not the ones who believe in paranormal activity.
But this might be the most spine-tingling, hair-raising, goosebump-giving Classified offer yet… and we’re about to drop a string of hints so obvious, even the blindest of squirrels should be able to pick up.
It’s got at least one big review give or take 95 points! With choice words like “bursts,” “juicy,” and “exuberant” along with others like “wine,” finish,” and “flavors” intermixed in there. Sorry, we can’t post the entire review for fear of spooking the source, but you get the idea… pure, lush, Napa Cabernet made in the style we all love and cherish.
And what about the price?
At $140 from the winery, it falls right in the milieu of prime-time Napa Cabs. You definitely won’t be sad, even if you paid full price.
HOWEVAH… at our price under $100 it’s surely NOT an apparition or specter. As always, we guarantee that you’ll get a frighteningly good deal here, and likely the best you’ll ever see on this particular wine.
Moving on from the ghostly hints (here we go again!) it’s time to get down to business.
You’re getting a Napa Cab, straight outta Yountville, from a famous vineyard we cannot name because that would be a “dead” giveaway. But the savvy ones among us likely figured it out already.
The winery has long been known as one of the original “culty” Cab makers out of their Oakville outpost, while their Yountville single vineyard bottling has been their most highly collectible Cab since the 1980s. Chewy, big, and ripe, it’s brimming with blackberry pie, lush plums, and sweet cassis. A bounty of vanilla, allspice, violet, and crunchy peppercorns enter the fray, riding on a bed of powdery sweet tannins.
Voluptuous and dense, it’s a wine that needs a few years to hit a full stride - but if you can get a few it’s absolutely worth popping one - soon as you realize in awe which cult Cab it is. We received just a small allocation of it though, so if you’re feeling frisky, get yours NOW.
Will be gone phantom fast by the time you say BOO! 👻
