Delectus Cabernet Sauvignon Cuvée Julia Mountain Blend Napa Valley 2023

94 POINTS…these hills are DEFINITELY alive — and so is this killer Napa Cab DEAL!!! Howell Mountain, Diamond Mountain District, and Mount Veeder all assembled into one, jaw-dropping, $39 bottle — I’m talking about $146 in savings, crafted by 100-point winemaker Robert Smith! Do NOT miss this delectable Delectus Cuvée!!!

Austrian winemaker and Delectus founder Gerhard Reisacher planted his flag in Napa back in 1995 — and three decades later, this three-mountain MASTERWORK bears his daughter's name, carries a $185 retail price tag, and somehow…SOMEHOW…lands on the Last Bottle site for just THIRTY-NINE DOLLARS!!! That's $146 in savings, nearly 79% OFF what the rest of the wine world pays. Say…WHAT?!?!

Ok, deep breath. HOWELL MOUNTAIN. DIAMOND MOUNTAIN DISTRICT. MOUNT VEEDER. Hey, Steve Austin…can I get a “Hell, yes!”??? In this stone-cold STUNNER, you’ll immediately notice how Howell Mountain carries the dominant 60% of this blend — and you feel it immediately in those volcanic, graphite-laced tannins and the sheer density of concentrated dark mountain fruit that only serious elevation can produce. Diamond Mountain drops an elbow from the top rope with laser-sharp tannic precision and a structural lift that gives this wine its spine and its swagger. And then Mount Veeder — the quietest contributor, with the smallest share in the glass — comes hauling down the runway to deliver the longest, most mineral, most hauntingly beautiful dimension of the three, pulling the finishing move with a Herculean hold that lingers well past the one-minute mark! Talk about a SMACKDOWN! Winemaker Robert Smith (you remember — Quintessa, Seven Stones, Krupp Brothers, Covert Estate, and TONS more counting the projects he spearheaded in his YEARS as Philippe Melka’s right-hand man…) has taken on Delectus’s newest iteration…carrying the torch passed on from the legendary Chris Phelps. Yeah…pedigree is ASSURED, people! And the juice? In the epic 2023 vintage? THIS is what mountain Napa Cabernet Sauvignon looks like when absolutely everything goes right!!!

You can TASTE why this is the portfolio's undisputed flagship — easily the most ambitious, most precisely assembled wine to bear the name in years! Cassis and fennel, then baked plums, and mocha powder, with cherries soaked in kirsch, and strawberry jam, evolving into cigars, laced with graphite, and dusted with roasted Herbs de Provence — YOWZA! This is rich, decadent, and supremely supple, with a volcanic eruption of layered mountain spices on a finish that lingers, and lingers, and lingers! $185 Napa mountain Cabs that drop all the way to a tempting $39 don’t come around everyday, good people — so act accordingly!!!

94 POINTS. $146 LESS than what the rest of the world pays. While it lasts!
