Saddleback is back, and we have a special offer on their fantastic Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon.

Just add three or more bottles of this delicious, elegant, classically Napa Cabernet to your order at a lovely 31% off, and Ground Shipping is on us!

Nils Venge is one of America’s best contemporary winemakers, and we are very proud to have featured nearly 30 of his wonderful wines over these last several years. With each successive vintage, Nils’ wines seem to get better and better.

This wine is lush and dark on the nose, with black cherry, cherry tobacco, mocha, bramble, young strawberry, twigs, spice, oak, with a savory herb undernote.

On the palate, today’s special Cabernet is very flavorful, with balanced flavors of juicy black cherry, mulberry, young blackberry, mixed spice, toasty oak, espresso bean, darkly toasted oak, graphite, slate and subtle baked apple.

Decant for best results. As this wine breathes, it softens to become even more elegant and succulent. Drink now, or hold for the next decade.

What the wine press has to say:

Jon Bonne - Wine Writer, San Francisco Chronicle - “From the heart of Oakville (with a small dose of Carneros Cabernet Franc), veteran Nils Venge shows a suave Napa expression. Disregard the maple­ syrup sweetness that appears on first sniff (there’s 65 percent new oak) and focus on the balance of violets, coffee, graphite and pretty currant fruit, and skill evident in its big, savory structure, balancing juicy flavors and a green­ olive accent.”
