Nellcote Cabernet Sauvignon Rallye 76 Napa Valley 2016

Because of the rather sudden closing, many of the great wines from the excellent vintages were never rated (there are some out there on back vintages), but we can promise you will be seriously impressed. Silky, concentrated, lavishly rich, and mouthcoating, packed with cocoa bean, espresso, blue fruits for days, clove and cola, blackberry essence, violets, and a hint of bay leaf...incredibly long and polished, too.

Serious stuff for a SONG, just...wow. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED, though!!

PAIRING IDEAS: A beautifully-made beef bourguignon would hit the spot here, with some buttery noodles and some crusty bread and cheese!

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: Because of the inspiration for the wine name, you HAVE to bump the "Exile on Main St." album! This really is one of the all-time great albums!
