68% OFF, you say?!! This knockout follow-up to the insane Barrel Select from a while back, Stuhlmuller’s glorious, dark, powerful Reserve is NOT for the shy!! Harkens back to the old days…rich tannic, muscular, and drop-dead sensationally priced!!

Just this black, battering-ram, 5-pound empty bottle alone would cost a decent penny, and it’s a perfect vehicle for this brawny, almost “old-school” (looking at you, Vince Vaughn!!) styled blockbuster Cabernet, yes indeedy. Think old Mayacamas (like, ‘70s), Mondavi Reserve (‘90s) or even something like DUNN or old Beringer Reserves. Purple/black, intensely concentrated, a bit chewy and hefty, with a brawn that will simply knock you out, especially when you factor in SIXTY-EIGHT PERCENT OFF….from the gorgeous ‘23 vintage…big Cab lovers, it’s a carpe diem moment…even less than the last offering…that’s why we’re offering this on a relatively quiet Wednesday….

Stuhlmuller! 40 YEARS of somewhat under-the-radar, hey-this-is-our-little-secret wines, from 150-acre ranch in Alexander Valley to our north in brotherly Sonoma, close to Russian River (you’ve had some of their killer Pinots, right?) AND some unique clay/volcanic hillside vineyards, from which this Reserve hails. For many years, they simply sold grapes (to the legendary Souverain and Simi, among others), and like many, started making a bit of wine on their own, mostly sold to restaurants and in the tasting room. Until WE found a bit…HERE. YOU. GO!!

As noted – DEEEP, bubbling, brooding, muscular, RIPPED!! Rocking 6-pack abs of steel, this baby is densely concentrated with pipe tobacco, purple fruits, DELICIOUS rich French oak, oolong tea, pie crust, and a long, massive, gripping finish that’s not too tannic, just has that mountain power quality. Long and spicy and intense. WOW wow wow! 68% OFF…we rest our case!!

Gonna fly…!!

"This Alexander Valley Cabernet is crafted from free-run juice (the first pressing of fresh juice from just-harvested grapes) from their best hillside blocks, with select French oak barrels in the cellar. Aged 18 months before bottling. It makes for a wonderful counterpoint to the 2023 Barrel Selection wine, only a bit darker and more brooding, with intense dark forest berry, tobacco, and loamy earth. Full-bodied, with penetrating dark-fruit concentration, scorched earth, black tea tannins, and notes of espresso and dark chocolate." -Decanter
