Mission Briefing
The King of Rutherford
Today’s stunning Grand Napa Wine 2012 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon sells for $99, but we have it for you, today only, for 66% off!
We purchased the last (lucky) 13 cases that the winery had on hand. These are the last cases anywhere so please reserve yours quickly.
Discounts this deep (66% off) are a rarity for us, but Agent Red knows that you deserve great deals on wine - and he’s landed a very impressive one for you in today’s limited-availability wine.
Aromas jump out of the glass to greet you with sweet cherry, blackberry, boysenberry, cassis, plum, toasty cedar, wild raspberry, cocoa powder, licorice and a hint of subtle black pepper.
On the palate, this wine is elegant, juicy and bold, with flavors of plum jam, blackberry, cassis, baker’s chocolate, cocoa dust, mixed berry compote, tobacco leaf, smoked meat, raspberry, dark spice and cracked peppercorn.
This wine was made by winemaker Tom Rees, formerly of the prestigious wineries of Rombauer and St. Supery. One taste of today’s wine affirms that Tom has some serious skills. This very impressive - and very highly recommended wine is elegant, bold, aromatic and classically Napa Valley - a decidedly delicious and dusty Rutherford delight.
Grab some quick - before we sell out.
Tasting Profile
| Look: | Dark mulberry hues with a slightly opaque core and glinting garnet edges. Thick, wine-stained legs cling to the glass. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Sweet cherry, blackberry, boysenberry, cassis, plum, toasty cedar, wild raspberry, cocoa powder, licorice and a hint of subtle black pepper. |
| Taste: | Plum jam, blackberry, cassis, baker’s chocolate, cocoa dust, mixed berry compote, tobacco leaf, smoked meat, raspberry, dark spice and cracked peppercorn. |
| Finish: | Extra long and very elegant, with red and black fruit fading in proportion with earth and spice components. Very gradually drying as plush tannins drive a crushed velvet feeling all across the palate. |
| Pairing: | Enjoy this elegant wine with something just as elegant. A perfect filet mignon or a slow roasted beef tenderloin with rosemary and potatoes. |
