Mystery Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Icon Napa Valley 2022

DOUBLE 98 POINTS. A Napa pedigree that runs all the way back to the very DAWN of California fine wine — somewhere between the Grand Budapest Hotel and a bus that absolutely cannot slow down lies the answer. GET ON IT!!!

Get ready for one iconic wine that typically hits your bank statement at $300 a bottle. Today? If you’re fast enough…if you have the need for speed…you just might snag it for a CRAY-CRAY $129. That’s $171 in savings, good people. Go get it!

We signed on the dotted line, sealed it with one of those old-fashioned wax monograms, and swore a solemn, breathless oath to our friends at this legendary winery that we would NOT reveal their name — not even a whisper — in exchange for what might be the most outrageously priced, high-scoring, absolute legend of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon that we have ever had the privilege of funneling into your inbox. $300 at the winery. $225 is the next best price in the galaxy. Our price? Let’s just say it is scintillating and electrifying enough for us to light up the entire Napa Valley for a calendar year. And frankly…we are POWERLESS to say much more. You’re going to have to SLEUTH THIS ONE!!!

Here’s what we CAN tell you…

• The family’s roots in Napa Valley wine run all the way back to the late 1800s, and planted what would become the most legendary estate in California wine history. (Napa history buffs with a copy of James Conaway’s Napa: The Story of an American Eden on the shelf already know exactly who we’re talking about — and probably already have their cart loaded.)

• Like the famed concierge running the most Grand hotel in all of Budapest — their ancestor’s estate was, for a time, the undisputed pinnacle of Napa Valley winemaking, a sovereign address of the entire valley. Some might even call it the first Grand Cru of California.

• After the original family winery was eventually sold, the “heir” went on to co-found one of the most “master-ful” Napa “First Growth” estates on the planet — a wine that would come to be spoken of in the same hushed tones as the great Château of Pomerol — before returning to craft this exceptional, and deeply personal, Mystery you are hoping to unravel.

• A prior vintage of this very same flagship was once crowned the single greatest wine in the entire world by one of the most revered wine critics in the game today. #1.

• The wine is named after someone VERY famous — at least within the annals of California wine lore. Not the Tennessee whiskey baron. Not the loveable Harry Dunne, who got his tongue caught licking a tempting bit of frost on the ski lift. Not Will McAvoy, who once went off-script on live national television in the most legendary way imaginable. But…pop quiz, hotshot…Keanu’s partner may not have made it to the end credits…but if you’re still with me…you’re getting warmer…

The wine itself speaks loudest of all: violets and lilacs, cardamom, clove, and silky waves of dark chocolate shavings, followed by black currants and black cherries, then juicy blueberries, star anise, white sage, pulverized granite, and structured graphite. It is MASSIVE — yet also massively elegant — with a roundness and velvety grip that makes this genuinely, almost heart-breakingly beautiful stuff to drink. Top sites from some of Napa Valley’s greatest addresses contributed fruit here, crafted by one of the most coveted winemaking duos in the entire valley, aged 20 months in French oak, and capable of stopping your heart with sheer vinous joy for at least another 15 years plus! But you’re also going to want to open a bottle RIGHT NOW — ‘cause this CRUSHES!!!

You know the drill, sorority girl, godSPEED and all that goodness!!!
