96 POINTS! The hallowed 2013 vintage showcases its NEVERENDING power thirteen years in, and we’ve got one heck of a mysterious Napa LEGEND at OVER 78% OFF!

Guess what time it is?! It’s MYSTERY TIME!!! We scored a deal…no, a steal...no, a straight-up ROBBERY! And like Robin Hood of old, we’re sharing the wealth with you, Last Bottlers! In a monumental deal that would tip Friar Tux’s wagon right over – who’s ready to save $141 on KILLER, age-worthy, utterly old-school, Napa Valley goodness?! This offer is BIBLICAL, y’all! I already grabbed a case – and now, NOW...the time is yours!!!

One Cult-worthy Napa Red for UNDER $40???? You all have been gorging yourselves on Elivette like a Sumo champion hits up last call at an all-you-can-eat sushi bar – but this…THIS…just might surpass that crazy deal. A wine that has never…NEVER been discounted before…and we’ve got it for nearly 80% OFF!!! So…who’s ready to lose their minds all over again! Not Newton, not Philip Togni, not Forman, not Mayacamas…but you are getting WARMER!!! A no-nonsense, pioneering vintner/winemaker that was way, WAY ahead of the game when it comes to things like “terroir” and “natural winemaking” here in Napa Valley. He studied with one of Spain’s top winemakers, from one of its most famous families, before working at a LEGENDARY First Growth Bordeaux, and then heading to Napa to train with The Maestro himself, André Tchelistcheff (say what?), and then alongside one of the TOP Napa and Sonoma winemakers at another ICONIC winery. And that was all before he accepted his post at this gem that would make him famous, and hold the top dog spot for nearly 40 years and counting! The estate is one of Napa Valley’s most stunning properties. 500 acres, with 88 acres planted to vine (at least before fire ravaged the property some years back) in an absolutely idyllic bowl where steeply terraced vineyards rise to nearly 2,100 feet above sea level. Farmed by a highly-specialized 7-person crew that has been there for decades, and with a seriously baffling diversity of blocks, and exposures, terraces, and soil-types, clones, old vines, just straight-up MIND-BOGGLING stuff!

And this 2013? Simply JAW-DROPPING – with that signature funk that would make George Clinton himself weak in the knees. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, clocking in at over half of the total blend, then rounded out with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and a splash of Petit Verdot. So yes, all FIVE of the traditional Bordeaux grapes, in a mix that is uniquely crafted to shape the identity as the FLAGSHIP of this singular estate and cult-worthy producer. This is a wine not built with critical scores in mind – and perhaps the real achievement is that it secures them all the same. I mean, 96 POINTS, people! It’s dark, and wild, savage, and sumptuous, with dried cherries, and cedar-y woodland duff, then meaty, savory goodness that is spiced with cinnamon, and clove, and cracked leather, molten dark chocolate, and heady, roasted herbs, with a lingering hay smoke character over all. It is such an intriguing and nuanced expression of Napa’s hillsides that you’d be hard pressed to compare it with almost any other Napa Cab today! I mean that in the best possible way, too – this is of a category all its own – and more easily referenced to old-school Bordeaux, or classic Rioja, and even some of the pioneering producers of Hermitage and top-notch Northern Rhône.

You might love it. You might prefer Napa’s more prototypical fruit/oak bombs. But I promise one thing…you will NEVER forget it – AND if you do love it, we’re talking about the sort of love that lasts a lifetime, inspires chart-topping pop songs, and makes struggling paupers with higher-level educations write enduring and classic tales of romance! THAT’S the kind of love I’m talking about! With FREE SHIPPING on every single order – one thing is certain – you simply CANNOT miss it!!!
