Bang. Boom. POOF. The 2014 Miner Stagecoach is sold out!

Knew that was coming, but even faster than Oracle’s meteoric rise to global dominance? Just wow. We suspect the 2014 will go even faster at that rate, so hit that checkout button HARD.

Not one. Not two. But THREE vintages of Miner Stagecoach Cabernet plucked straight from the dark winery library and into the light of day on your favorite website. Each one is over 60% OFF.

When we sold the Oracle last, it rocketed up the charts as one of the top offers of last year. If that and the 2013’s disappearing act are any indications, we know these sell out quickly…

No fancy scores on this one, as if a Stagecoach Cab needs them to sell! The vintage? According to Gemini (and yes, we did use AI for this one) “Napa Valley’s 2013 and 2014 vintages are both high-quality, drought-affected years, with 2013 regarded as a historic, structured, and powerful “collector” vintage. 2014, often overshadowed, offers more accessible, aromatic, and elegant wines that are drinking beautifully now, featuring lower tannins and earlier drinkability compared to 2013.”

If you want classic, aged Napa Cab, it doesn’t get much better. Gary Brookman (Mueller, Grace Family) and Stacy Vogel (Cain, Ledson) crafted a beautiful example. This all Stagecoach-sourced beauty clocks in at 87% Cabernet Sauvignon with 13% Cabernet Franc. And it’s as classic as they come. This spot on CellarTracker note says it all; “paired it with a spectacular Snake River Farms Ribeye Steak grilled on my Weber with some roasted potatoes, green beans & salad. Amazing!!! Damn, I’m in Wine/Food Coma right now!”

The price is no less staggering considering the source. Stagecoach Cabernet doesn’t come cheap. As one of Napa’s most legendary sites, this rugged mountaintop connecting Pritchard Hill with Atlas Peak, on the eastern slopes, powers some of the most serious Cabernets. It has the elevation, the exposure, the volcanic soils, and the ability to command $125-200 or more for many of the wines grown here.

100% agree. Surely this is another perfect example of how Napa Cabernet can age… Some panelists even preferred it over the sublime 2013! There is plenty of fruit left to let this be enjoyed for the remainder of this decade, and beyond, in a cool cellar, as the provenance is as good as it gets, direct from the winery!

Finally, it’s worth repeating - we have VERY LITTLE of these. Act now or regret later. There is one last surprise after this one, though, so save room in your Lockers.
