750ml

$80/bottle under the original label

Lot 498 is an award-winning 100% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from a winery on the valley floor with a long reputation for producing Cabs with harmony and balance, crafted from vineyards that have been meticulously farmed for decades. Scoring 93 points from James Suckling under our label, and fetching $80/bottle, $960/case under the original label, we’ve secured it for you at an absolutely stunning price for a smooth-drinking, quintessential high-end Napa Valley Cab.

On the nose, bold aromas of black tea, red fruit, and black cherries are accompanied by wondrous hints of iris, violets, and dried leaves. The first sip reveals a medley of spice and dark cherries, underpinned by balanced acidity and grippy, medium-grained tannins. Lingering hints of vanilla blossom and red fruit umami dance across a dry, enduring finish. Eminently quaffable and abundant with fruit structure, this is a true crowd pleaser.

Reviews

A Real Crowd Pleaser!

"A beautiful nose of warm red fruit precedes an intoxicating palate of incredibly well-balanced spice, red and dark fruits, beautifully integrated tannins and grippy acidity. Such an approachable and joyful wine, but sufficiently complex to satisfy a discerning California Cabernet aficionado."

— Nigel B. (5/5)

Pleasant but not a favorite

"Very unusual to give anything but 5 stars to Négoce Cabernets. But this lacked the bold round character Negoce offers. No tannin. It was pleasant but unusually forgettable. May be just an odd bottle. Would not buy again."

— Christine (4/5)

Smooth as silk

"Beautiful tannins and chocolate cherry taste makes this a great wine at a fair price. Get it while you still can, decant for exceptional finish"

— Thomas C. (5/5)

Perfectly Balance Cabernet

"A lot of berries and fig on the aromas. Needs to decant at least to an hour to get a full notes. On the palate, a good structure of blueberries, cocoa and a little bit of is spice. Will mellow out for 2 years on cellar to get a full benefit."

— JEFFREY J. (5/5)

All around one of their best Cabs

On Repeat

"This is by far my fav lot number from degnoce it’s always on reorder!"

— Katie F. (5/5)

For the price!

"This is a great cellar defender. A fine Tuesday night wine. It was a good base for our evening wherein we bought 5 different varietals and had a mixing party, to see which couple could make the best Bordeaux red blend. This wine was the middle star in most of our blend, offering very soft tannins, mild red and black fruits."

— Patrick K. (3/5)
