Stormy Weather Cabernet Sauvignon Northern Gale 2015  - First Bottle

Reviews

95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
Composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 30 months in 30% new French oak plus an additional five months in bottle, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Northern Gale gives up notes of crushed blackcurrants, blackberries and black cherries with touches dark chocolate, licorice and earth. The palate is full, firm and concentrated with layers of vibrant fruit and great length. 264 cases produced.
94 Jeb Dunnuck -
Lastly, the 2015 Northern Gale is all Cabernet Sauvignon raised in 30% new French oak. It’s another rock star wine from winemaker Cameron Woodbridge and offers a charming, forward style in its kirsch and black cherry fruits, cedarwood, spice, and lead pencil aromatics, silky tannins, and layered, mouthfilling texture. It can be drunk today with plenty of pleasure but will keep for 15-20 years as well.

A new blockbuster from Cameron Woodbridge, brother of Jayson Woodbrige of Hundred Acre fame! Love elegant, light Cabernet? Well, then, don't buy this, because this is quite the opposite (as you might expect from the brother of Jayson Woodbridge!) -- no, this is a COLOSSAL, opaque, pedal-to-the-metal, rich, dark, intense and lavishly toasty BEAST of a Cabernet --- simply astounding considering the price. Only 264 cases made! Would we ever even have access to this kind of uber-cool, rare find if we were not in the Valley? Doubt it! You’ll be one of the few to own any on the planet!

TOO MANY reasons to buy this if you love big, hedonistic Cab -- killer vintage, ultra-scarce (we are one of a tiny handful to even HAVE any), the style you know and love, WA95, and, of course, our FANTASTIC PRICE -- $70 at the winery, $59.95 for you!

OK, so what’s it like, you ask? Opulent, dark, intense and lavishly spiced. Blackberry pie, mocha, tobacco, cigar box, Asian spices, black cherry juice. Huge and mouth-coating and lingers on your palate for about 4 hours, it seems. A MUST at this price if this is the kind of juice that hits all your buttons!

Just as a data point...take a look at a small sampling of the other Napa Valley Cabernet-based wines with a 95-point Wine Advocate score...and then look at the price...

Larkmead The Lark 2015 -- $350

Morlet Morlet Estate 2015 -- $275

Marciano Estate 2015 -- $240

Michael Mondavi M by Mondavi 2015 -- $200

Kapcsandy Estate Cuvee 2015 -- $150

Alas, it is extremely limited...we have just a no-brainer price, too! 

About the Producer

Stormy Weather is the brainchild of Cameron Woodbrige, brother of the larger-than-life Jayson Woodbrige of Hundred Acre fame. Cameron worked alongside his brother and Philipe Melka, who consulted for Hundred Acre at the time, starting in 2005. It was there that he honed his skills and developed a serious love for the industry. So much so, that he decided to start his own project, so with the 2006 vintage in Napa, Stormy Weather was born.
