Description

Lot 600 hails from one of America’s most iconic vineyard sites, tended by a blue chip producer whose reputation and influence is nothing short of the gold standard in Napa Valley. Among the dominant power players of the region, our source sits in a small group of its most fabled benchmarks, and has a long record of 95+ point wines from critics every year. With an acquisition of this caliber we obviously can’t disclose pricing, but like our recent Oakville release before it, if we referenced $130+, that plus sign would be doing a lot of heavy lifting (and that’s only if you were on the right allocation list). Considering this kind of pedigree and vintage quality, it’s an unbelievable opportunity for even the most seasoned Cab Collector. Now, that opportunity is yours at well over 80% OFF!

The bouquet opens elegantly with black licorice, cherries, and savory, dusty earth, gradually unfurling accents of dark fruits, cassis, and distinct minerality. On the palate, the darker fruits persist in a remarkably dry presentation and are joined by tobacco leaf, rustic leather, and a flicker of pepper spice, all uplifted by medium+ acidity and fresh, full-grained tannins. The finish is long and persistent, echoing with baking spice, freshly sliced vanilla bean, blackberries, and that dusty Rutherford je ne sais quoi that defines the appellation’s greatness. This has a long life ahead of it, so a healthy decant is recommended for near-term drinking.

Our Big Fall Series has reached the grand finale: Lot 600 is here!

Each year, a single champion is selected to be the signature annual release for the Lot program. In the footsteps of Lots 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500, this milestone represents what we do best as négociants: find the best wines and bring them to our devoted, discerning, and growing community. Given the quality of the ’23s, deciding a winner from this crop was no small feat, but ultimately there could only be one.

As always, countless evaluations and negotiations took place to secure this year’s portfolio, so we’re elated to announce the crown jewel of the 2025 lineup: a Grand Cru-level Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon for under $25/bottle! If this were a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, cue Free Bird.

Our price: $299/case DELIVERED, $24+/bottle to your door!

Rutherford AVA stretches across the central section of Napa Valley and is situated at just the right distance from San Pablo Bay to create a climate that perfectly suits the cultivation of powerful Cabernet Sauvignon. Long, warm summer days are complemented by doses of fog and cool afternoon breezes, making for an optimal diurnal shift that allows the grapes to gradually develop full maturity. Located where gravelly soils offer a flawless balance of water retention and drainage, every aspect of this vineyard’s production was handled with the utmost precision and care. Deal terms require us being hush hush with winemaking and aging details, but we can say without hesitation that our source nailed it – they always do.
