Both Cloudy’s are GONE. As predicted. But for the intrepid, brave, and fearless Ops willing to put their faith in us and Kirk Venge, we have one more treat. A perfectly aged and super affordable Syrah.

Remember that “Kirk Venge has made some of the finest examples of wines the Napa Valley has to offer.” per The Napa Valley Register

Everybody loves Kirk. Yet sometimes, in a world where Cab is king, not the same can be said for Syrah.

However, in the right hands, and from the right place, with a decade of bottle age… Syrah can truly SING!

Trust your Agents of Wine! Take a flyer and grab one or two. You won’t be sad when it hits your lips, we promise.

So maybe this was a bit steep upon release at $60, and maybe that’s why we unearthed a few cases next to the Cloudy’s in their library cellar, but after a nutsy 57% OFF?! You HAVE TO try some.

The source of this sorcery is none other than Caldwell Vineyard in cool Coombsville. With fully resolved tannins and a kiss of earthy tertiary nuances, this is begging for some food, or a charcuterie board with hard-aged cheeses, like right now. The vibrant acidity, the silky mouthfeel, the black olive savoriness, and the lengthy, freshly-cracked Tellicherry peppercorn-esque finish are all telltale Syrah with the pedigree to spare.

Napa Syrah by a cult winemaker for less than $30? As Robert Parker said, “Bacio Divino continues to turn out one of the best values in Napa.”

Trust us with this one, take a shot, be a Vagabond!

90 Points – Wine Enthusiast “A 100% varietal wine made by Kirk Venge, this tiny-production offering is concentrated in leather and dark baked fruit. Rich and rewarding, it wears its voluptuousness well, showing the palate with firm chewy tannin and integrated oak.”
