Mission Codename Motivated Passions

Today’s Tristant Vineyards 2008 Mirifice Reserve Red Wine is a blend of 75% estate grown high end Merlot, 20% Napa Valley hillside Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Calistoga Napa Valley Petite Verdot.

The primary component in this wine, the Merlot, is grown under top secret contract for wineries like [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. Bill Tristant reserves a few select rows for his own namesake wines. Today’s wine is made mostly from that same Merlot. The rest comes from other luxury vineyard sources in the Napa Valley.

The wine itself is made at the Benessere Vineyard, a long time Wine Spies favorite.

If you are looking for a high-dollar drinking experience at one steal of a price, look no further. Just act quickly, before we sell out.

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.
    • Only through Dec 28th
