Flavor Profile
As you may know, an “NDA” is a Non-Disclosure Agreement. In the wine world, it means the end-seller may not share any info about the winery that made it.
There are many reasons as to why such wines exist. Perhaps Mother Nature produces a very bountiful crop one year, and an elite winery has a few too many barrels, so they offer them to a very close associate. Or, a winemaker is blending a premium Cab from different barrels, and a few of them don’t add the character he wants, so he sells them to a close friend at a great price, so long as they agree to never name the source.
This particular Cabernet is the best Napa deal we’ve offered in the last decade. It comes from the prestigious Oakville district (home to $4,000+ a bottle Screaming Eagle and many equally exclusive Cabs). There is a lot we cannot say about it (due to the NDA we signed), but here’s what we can reveal:
– 100% Cabernet from Napa Valley’s iconic Oakville district– Sourced from two famous vineyards not far from Caymus and Quintessa (both 100% sustainably grown)
– Grapes 100% handpicked and aged over 2 years in 100% French oak
– From the classic 2021 vintage, rated 95-98 points overall by Vinous and 93-97 points by Wine Spectator
– An opulent red with flavors of black currant and blackberry plus notes of dark chocolate and baking spices
– 400 cases only—high sellout risk
Under its regular label, this stunning Napa Cabernet would fetch two to three times the price, so don’t miss out.
