It’s a very Barrett Saturday! Not to be confused with the Barrett .50 cal bolt-action rifle. This does however share a similarly powerful build with the stopping power to put any other Cabernet in its place.

Even at 14-years-old, this 97 Point library MASTERPIECE is just starting to unload its potential! At a price YOU CAN ONLY FIND HERE!!!

If you remember the other vintages we’ve offered, you know how precious this is. Per Robert Parker “Not many bottles of these are made from Heidi and Bo Barrett’s vineyard in Calistoga. It is a 4-acre parcel, and they produce 300-350 cases from the dry-farmed Cabernet vineyard planted with the To Kalon clone of Cabernet Sauvignon.”

Few even know this wine even exists. Arguably the most DANGEROUS collaboration project in all of Napa Valley, between Bo Barrett of Chateau Montelena, and Heidi Barrett of, well, you know…

Too bad they make very little, and therefore very, VERY few insiders scoop it all up in record time. But fortunately, they save a very small amount for their favorite Covert Connoisseurs.

So here is how this wine came about, per Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate “Bo and Heidi Barrett have turned out fabulous Cabernet Sauvignons. Readers may recall the Barretts started their own label when it looked like Château Cos d’Estournel was about to purchase Chateau Montelena a few years ago. That transaction never closed, but it did result in the creation of this impressive new project.”

And Antonio Galloni’s Vinous adds: “Heidi Barrett describes Barrett & Barrett as bringing together Bo’s approach to farming and her work in the cellar, but in my view, the wines don’t really resemble anything either of them is making elsewhere. In fact, as I tasted these wines all I could think about is why the Montelena Cabernets and Heidi Barrett’s other wines aren’t at this level. The Barrett & Barrett Cabernet is made predominantly from a parcel of dry-farmed vines on Toll Road in Calistoga now Jericho Canyon plus Saunders in Oakville, which is the source of the Cabernet Franc… These wines are terrific.”

What else can we say but that this is exactly what you need in the cellar for that special night ahead.

(Be sure to check out their other great wines today, the TreasuRed and Stutio Series!)

Did we already say that at this price, we’re almost giving these away?!

97 Points – Vinous “I was deeply impressed with the two Cabernets I tasted from Bo and Heidi Barrett. Heidi Barrett describes Barrett & Barrett as bringing together Bo’s approach to farming and her work in the cellar, but in my view, the wines don’t really resemble anything either of them is making elsewhere. In fact, as I tasted these wines all I could think about is why the Montelena Cabernets and Heidi Barrett’s other wines aren’t at this level. The Barrett & Barrett Cabernet is made predominantly from a parcel of dry-farmed vines on Toll Road in Calistoga new Jericho Canyon (where the wines are physically made) plus Saunders in Oakville, which is the source of the Cabernet Franc. Both wines seem to reflect the stress of the drought vintages in their overall intensity and pure power, but balance is never a question. These wines are terrific. The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is fabulous. Rich, racy and totally voluptuous in the glass, the 2012 flows with seemingly endless layers of fruit. This is a decidedly dark, powerful brooding 2012 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon endowed with real class. Dark cherry jam, wild flowers, gravel, mint and dark spice meld into the unctuous, riveting finish. Drink 2018-2032.”
