Hartwell Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon T5 Stags Leap District Napa Valley 2016

Oh, HELLO Cult Cabernet Collectors, we have one head-spinner today, oh, to put it mildly. WOW!!! For the faint of heart reading this...just hit delete!

125 CASES MADE. That’s it. 98 POINTS. Benoit Touquette, winemaker. Astoundingly rare, truly (it was only for Hartwell Club members). OK, OK, a lot more on all this below in our less-breathless writeup, but DANG!! Even us jaded old wine-slingers are BUSTIN’!!

***On that note, we have, like, nothing. So if hardcore culty Cab is your thing, you know what do.***

Cabernet collectors...this hits EVERY SINGLE sweet spot today. A MUST at our price. Ready? Here's why!!

- First off, rockstar winemaker Benoit Touquette (Realm, Fait-Main, Kata, many more) -- there’s simply too many huge scores and critical acclaim to fit here. Google him! Benoit is like Jay-Z level in the Napa Valley!

- 2016 vintage in Napa Valley, one of the all-time greats. Lord knows you’ve heard us crow about it enough.

- As noted, EXTREMELY rare to see at retail. Only 125 cases made, that’s 5 barrels. How did we do it? Don’t ask, just clickety-click, as it will FLY.

- T5 is in the heart of the Stags Leap District, sourced from the highest point on the Hartwell estate and aged for two years in prized Taransaud barrels. Ultra-fine, polished, sexy juice.

WARNING: Not for the weak of constitution. Huge, immensely concentrated, lavishly French-oaked, POTENT, serious stuff. Read the review below, but for reals, yo, this is one of the biggest Napa Cabs we’ve ever tasted, and man, we’ve been doing this for two decades!! First come, first served….happy Sunday!
