Michel Rolland Cabernet Sauvignon MR Napa Valley 2015
Say it with us. BECKSTOFFER TO KALON, BECKSTOFFER MISSOURI HOPPER, BECKSTOFFER DR. CRANE, AND STAGECOACH. Arguably the top vineyard sites in all of Napa make up this rockstar Napa Cab. Made by the legendary Michel Rolland, the master winemaker, blender extraordinaire and enologist from Bordeaux. Michel is a "super-consultant" who has contributed to so many legendary wines -- Screaming Eagle, Harlan Estate, Sloan, Pavie, Smith Haut Lafitte, Ausone, Angelus, Pontet Canet and dozens more super-collectibles. Talk about pedigree!! Also worth mentioning, these wines are made at Alpha Omega and production overseen by one of the most talented vintners we know, Jean Hoefliger, one of Michel's proteges. (We just got a few more of Jean's huge scoring The Debate 3-packs back in stock if you missed out!)
Read the 96-point review below. This is dead-serious stuff. Rich, dark, intense and deeply concentrated. Even more intense than the killer ‘14, this is so Bordeaux-like with sweet earth, toasted spices, roasting coffee, toffee and mineral notes...it’s also a step up in terms of sheer opulence. WOW. We know you know and love Jean’s wines --- having a few bottles of this masterpiece in the cellar is going to feel VERY good!!
“...refined and with tons of freshness, this is a very well-crafted and harmonious beauty that should be delicious straight out of the gate but will reward 5-7 years of cellaring and drinking a further 15-20 years thereafter.” -- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
EXTRA-COOL: This is packed in WOODEN 3-PACKS --- today we can send the box for FREE on a 3-pack order. It’s going to look great in the cellar!! $449.85 per 3-pack DELIVERED --- in wood. Amazing! This wine is $175 at the winery! ONLY a handful of 3-packs...FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED!
