Lot 649 is a consummate masterwork. Unlike the brawny Cabs that have come to define much of Napa’s reputation, this valley floor stunner was purpose-built with an approach that was clearly intended by the winemaker to answer the question: “What is the essence of Rutherford?” A bellwether for the region produced from estate vineyards a stone’s throw from Highway 29 and obsessively farmed to a standard befitting a name that easily belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Napa Valley, this is proper Grand Cru juice that showcases the very best of Rutherford dust and terroir. An apex Napa Valley red with this vineyard and producer name on it is a wine that hovers in the ~$200 range (and a quick search online shows some places selling way higher), so it’s with great pleasure that we present this to you for under $30/bottle!

Delightfully dusty cherries and cassis open the nose, followed by violets, fresh-picked blackberries, dried herbs, and red clay, all haloed by secondary notes of eucalyptus and chocolate. The entry exudes elegance and balance – exceptional acidity frames dark cherries, spiced raspberries, new leather, crushed rock, and baking spice with fine, plentiful dusty tannins. The finish opens with a lift of barrel spice before settling into red fruit and florals across a long, dry exit. Enchanting.

The cleanup hitter is typically the biggest bat in a lineup, but for the fourth spot in our Big Fall Series, we’re throwing you a changeup.

Instead of an outright slugger, we’ve landed one of the most polished Cabernets we’ve ever come across – a lithe Rutherford beauty that’s sheer sophistication in a glass. Even in a favorable market like this, nabbing a Cab from one of the AVA’s handful of truly elite sites from a top-rated vintage is no small feat, but we’re rather persistent when we want to be, and our diligence has secured the win.

Unreal.

The story begins in the heart of Rutherford, where generations of viticultural expertise oversee some of the most prized Cabernet vineyards in the world. Our source’s reputation is as high as it gets, with a long emphasis on precision, consistency, and getting the absolute most out of the land. With fruit this good, deft hands in the cellar took a minimal-intervention approach before aging the juice in 100% French oak to imbue the wine with sublime structure that allows the terroir to fully shine.
