Mission Codename Cali Bordeaux

We have another exclusive wine for you today. Not even the winery itself has this fabulous wine…

Clos du Bois is back after a short hiatus. Today’s Clos du Bois 2012 Sonoma Reserve Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich, juicy, bold wine that delivers a drinking experience that exceeds its selling price.

This Super QPR (Quality to Price Ratio) wine is an impressive must-have for any fan of great, Napa-rivaling Alexander Valley Cabernet. This very food-friendly wine is packed with flavor. A plush and elegant mouthfeel gives this wine a velvety appeal on the palate. This Cab is very aromatic, encouraging long inhalations that enliven your senses.

On the nose, smoky black cherry, cassis, plum, blackberry and braised fig lead the way. As the wine opens, it unveils spice box, cedar, tobacco, black pepper and blackberry candy.

On the palate, spiced cherry, blackberry, cassis, plum and black licorice are followed by cigar box, dusty bramble, tobacco leaf, leather and mixed spice.

Enjoy!

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.
