96 points, made by a 100-pt winemaker (with Château Pétrus on the resume) at OVER 70% OFF. With free shipping on 6+ bottles (new customers only) if you use the RAPTOR coupon code at checkout.

Normally $85 from the winery.

Our price $25?! What sorcery, you wonder?

If you’re new, let’s get you up to speed.

Kevin Morrisey knows a few things about making good wine. When your resume includes Stags’ Leap, Etude, and Ehlers and THE one and only Château Pétrus… well, that should be evidence enough.

And perhaps you’ve heard of ZD Winery. If you’re among their most valued customers, you get access to their “Abacus” wine - a very special non-vintage red (the first release goes for around $1,500 these days).

Well, Kevin REALLY liked that wine. And this is his tribute to that style - flashy, flamboyant, impossible to put down and far too easy to drink.

With one major difference. The price.

Here in California we can hardly find a dozen righteous eggs for $25 these days!

I hope you have a good celebration dance prepared for when you taste this because you scored big. Formidable and lush, with dried plums, cherry cola, blackberry pie, toasty mocha, cigar box, and vanilla. Seductively rich and soft on the palate and all the better when you realize the shocking price you paid for this quality juice.

About one-third comes from the beautiful 2019 harvest, one third from the much vaunted 2021 harvest, and the final balance from the bountiful 2022 harvest with just a 2% fill from atop Pritchard Hill.

Now maybe you’re asking yourself, “what’s the catch?” There is none. It even has a badass name - ‘Raptor & Crimson.’

This is simply what we do, day in, day out. And if you’re new here, our only goal is for you to open every bottle you buy from us and think “wow, I should have got more”.

So the only question is, did you get enough? With just 252 cases made, and a fraction of that here in our warehouse, it’s only a matter of time before it goes extinct…

96 Points – The Tasting Panel “Sultry, with peppered espresso and luscious black cherry. Structure-plus, with a strong backbone and clarity of flavor and concentrated power and armed with finesse.”
