Mission Codename Above the Rim

It may seem unlikely that former NBA star and international icon Yao Ming is now soaring above the competition in the Napa Valley. Not only did he enter an entirely new game in wine production, but he’s crushing it in his rookie season.

What’s impressive about his 2009 Yao Ming Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is how the wine’s best qualities express a caliber of Cabernet that clearly has top winemaking, grapes, barrels, and land. This is a super impressive wine that will put a big smile on the face of Cab aficionados and collectors alike. Look for richly layered dark berries, cedar, sweet tobacco, and the signature dusty loam spice of Napa Valley fruit.

This is a wine that currently sells for $110-$150. Today via The Wine Spies it’s available for only $74.99.

Here’s how WIA Works:

Over the next two weeks, we’ll revisit the TOP hits of 2024. Our favorite winemaker. The top Italian. A treasured cult selection, and the ever-popular most wanted Napa Cab.

Plus many more.

  • If you're in the Facebook group, check out the pinned post and please drop your favorites. If we can, we'll work in a special Operative requests day.
  • And yes, I know some of you are trying to exercise restraint, and we apologize. But it is the season of giving, and a case of wine for yourself is self care, right?
  • The discounts, as usual, will be steep and deep. Hopefully you'll find more than a few of your favorites from the past year. Every one of these wines has proven extremely popular so we encourage you to act fast and early as quantities are often even more limited the second time around.
  • As we near the Holidays and wrap up another great year we are as ALWAYS, ever grateful for your ongoing support. It's been an amazing year and we cannot wait to do it again in 2025.
