Lot 626
2024 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 12-bottle case
Lot 626 is a flagship Cab from a valley dignitary. Securing a deal here obviously requires an NDA with teeth, and the small size of the suspect pool leaves most production specs and vineyard information squarely off the table. However, the moment the first sip bursts onto your palate, it’s clear why this is one of the standard-bearers. Decades of opulent, no-expense-spared philosophy are on display, and if you ran a query on Google or an AI chat for a description of a grand Napa Cab, the results would probably pass for this wine’s tasting notes. Boasting all the opulent cherry and dark fruit we’ve come to expect while still possessing a fundamental elegance, it’s no surprise this wine falls squarely in $200/bottle territory. We’re happy to bring it to you for under $25 – well over 80% OFF!
A deliciously thick cloud of red berry, red clay dust, black cherry, and eucalyptus wafts from the glass. Delicate accents of crushed violets, gravel, and chocolate quickly follow the initial rush. On the palate, dark fruit and leather coalesce with cherry-like acidity and barrel spice amid plentiful, youthful, grippy tannins. An impressive minerality makes for a robust, yet graceful structure. The finish is remarkably dry with exceptional length – uplifted spice and dark fruit transition to dark cocoa and pressed florals before unveiling waves of vanilla blossom. Lavish.
