Over 64% off Napa Cab! Maritime history, Mediterranean climate, and one rockstar winemaker all wrapped up in a single, 95 POINT Napa Cab!

Did you know that Napa built ships during World War II? Oh yes – just like Bordeaux, and the Rhône, and Mosel, and basically every wine region worth a damn – Napa has a river that runs through it. (Someone call Tom Skerritt!!!) This SHIPYARD ACRES Napa Cab pays homage to that – a decade-long, pop-up community in southern Napa where a couple thousand folks built ships that launched out through the Napa river, into the San Francisco bay, and out across the mighty Pacific (and beyond!). It’s a coming-of-age tale that deserves its own silver screen adaptation – but for now…we’ll “settle” for this EPIC deal on a 95 POINT bottle of Napa Cab perfection.

In the marquee role of Brad Pitt, we have the phenomenal winemaking talents of Robert Smith. No lank and dank hair or black eyeshadow here, nor those hypnotic 80s love and angst-driven ballads either (at least as far as I know) – this Robert Smith is a wine guy through and through. Powerhouses like Quintessa, Seven Stones, Krupp Brothers, Covert Estate, and Quixote – working alongside such fabled names of Napa like Aaron Pott, Julian Fayard, and Philippe Melka along the way. THAT is what he brings to the table. And wouldn’t you have it – it’s a FEAST!

Rich and heady, with saturated fruit, and plenty of polish and in-your-face decadence. Wave after wave of blackberry, and plum, with blueberry pie, dusted with spice notes of clove and cardamom, and lusciously plump elements of chocolate truffles, with this aromatic essence of elderflower liqueur. Bits and bobs of supple new leather, vanilla bean, and fresh-drawn espresso complete this dazzling blockbuster – and I’d easily give this two thumbs up – were it not for my glass in one hand, and the bottle in the other! We’re talking WAY under $40, good people – for 95 POINT Napa Cab! The winery has this for just under $100 – but you won’t pay anywhere near that today – provided you pull up anchor, drop sail, and get that motor HUMMING!

Saturated and supple Napa Cab at a price too good to miss! While it lasts!!!

95 POINTS
"Named for an unincorporated community in Napa during the 1950s where 400 families built vessels with radical designs. We bow to the stern character of this red, its plush texture smoothing out on a deck of suede tannins. Brushy, with wild blueberry and espresso on mid-palate, its exacting acidity rising in waves. The wine exhibits a compact nature, washed in dried heather and new leather." ~Tasting Panel
