After a protracted surveillance we are thrilled to finally bring you a stupendous wine from The Grade Cellars, in Napa Valley.

This wine was first brought to our attention more than two years ago when our good friend and winemaker, Rudy Zuidema, poured us a glass. It was love at first sip and Agent Red spent the next two years trying to secure a small cache of the wine for you, dear Operative.

This stunning 2007 has earned numerous awards, including a 92 Point score from Wine Enthusiast Magazine and a 94 point score from the Cabernet Shootout. Too great to pass up, our entire tasting panel gives this wine our heartiest recommendation.

From nose to tail, this wine shows nearly perfect balance, with flavors that span the entire palate and aromatics that encourage you to deeply inhale the wine between sips.

Stock up on this age-worthy wine. It has plenty of life left in it and you can be sure that we’ll be laying down our bottles for the next several years.

This wine can be served with a wide variety of hearty food, but we’d recommend that you enjoy a glass all on its own. Over a stimulating conversation. Probably about the wine itself!
