Lot 76 | 2018 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml (92-Points)

Lot 76
2018 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (92-Points)

Deep ruby in the glass - almost opaque. Opens with a jubilee of cherry, dark, dusty plum and mocha adding creme de cassis and raspberry notes with air. Allspice and pretty red rock minerality lift the nose. Terrific weigh on entry ripe with creme de cassis and vanilla-flecked cherry notes dominating the lush but well-balanced palate. The finish is long and clean with pure, pretty fruit throughout. Exquisitely balanced and built to drink well now and over the next decade.

UPDATED FEBRUARY, 2022 - DRINK OR HOLD – this wine has ebbed and flowed quite a bit in the bottle but seems to have settled in nicely now. It requires a good decant but opens up nicely now with an hour or two of air.

UPDATED JUNE 27, 2021 - 60% Calistoga, 40% St. Helena. The warmer climes of Napa Valley make this a more fruit-forward and approachable style with less high-toast wood dominance. Singing cherry with vibrant backbone, succulent and seamless across the palate…silky smooth and beautifully integrated with excellent complexity - total crowd-pleaser.

Reviews

Super QPR

"Drank one year ago. A little tight when opened. A decant helped. Great for the price. Super QPR."

— Jim A. (4/5)

Lit 76

"Amazing, great flavor. Opens up nicely."

— Ann M. (5/5)

Cruiserweight Champ!

"This is a great wine for steaks or chops with ample black and blue fruit and enough tannin to give the wine structure. My wife likes it too, and she sometimes finds cabs have too much tannin for her. Enjoyed this with friends with NY strips the other night, and I am glad I ordered another case for the cellar. Great price point too…."

Another Great Cab!

"We were drawn to Negoce wines for one reason - Napa cabs. A friend gave us a bottle - since then we are all in. But, we’ve branched out. We’ve never had a bad deal and we’ve had a ton of great deals."

— Kurt G. (5/5)

Excellent now

"I recently opened by first bottle of Lot 76 and was very impressed. It was smooth, yet had nice structure. I enjoyed it both on its own and with food. If you have a bottle, try it now - as it's delicious."

— Rebecca M. (5/5)
