V. Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Single Vineyard Sonoma County 2016
You know rockstar Jean Hoefliger from his DEBATE, MICHEL ROLLAND "MR" and ALPHA OMEGA wines (among many others), and the guy consistently makes HUGE-scoring, fan-favorite Napa reds in the plush, rich, and silky style. V. Vineyards is a little under-the-radar (and frankly, we would like to keep it that way). Perched up on Spring Mountain, deep up St. Helena Road, and neighbors to luminaries like Pride Mountain, Cornell and Vineyard 7&8, lies this magnificent Mayacamas mountain estate.
It’s a dreamy spot purchased by Gina and Steve Viets and planted in 2007 to primarily cabernet sauvignon. At 1,800 feet in elevation and just one mile from the Napa County line, these rugged mountain vines produce wines of incredible concentration and complexity. This wine is a true gem that checks all the boxes for world-class cab, and we are confident it will age effortlessly for decades. Check out the reviews below to get an idea of how incredible this wine is for the price! But fair warning, deals like this don't come around too often...just over 100 cases were even made!
Why wait is right! At our price? This is a GEM, a terrific find, and the PRICE! We’re drinking this all day long! ONLY 245 BOTTLES!
PAIRING IDEAS: So soft and rich, a simple burger or steak is perfect. Make it savory with this stuff (a new find we've been experimenting with), and mix it in your burger meat or marinade for your steak. It adds a cool new level of savoriness that is SO good!! Good in salad dressing too.
MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: If you’re up for hilarity, politics and lots of bad words, stream some Lewis Black. We saw his show in Napa Saturday, and he killed it!
