Mark Herold Wines Collide Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2018

Forget about the Hadron Super-Collider, because we’ve made a discovery that puts the Higgs boson particle to shame. Obsessed with finding dark matter? Look no further, because COLLIDE cabernet sauvignon is HERE! This is a black hole deep and concentrated wine that blows other $100 Napa cabernets out of this universe (trust us, we market tested this repeatedly over the past few years). There’s not much, but it could be yours for the monumentally epic steal of $39!!! 

Mike Smith, my people… MIKE SMITH!!! The 100 POINT wine making superstar behind his double-secret-allocation personal label, MYRIAD (...and MAYBACH, CARTER CELLARS, and more!). You might have heard of his mentor, Thomas Rivers Brown. Just like T.R.B., Mike’s signature is the making of light, tart, and supremely delicate wines with incredible restraint… YEAH, RIGHT!!!! NO WAY, NO HOW! This wine is unbridled power, richness, and overt decadence that showcases the brilliance of Napa’s very best cabernet characteristics. This is a lush and ludicrously polished cab perfect for dyed-in-the-wool Napa cab-lovers (there’s a few of you still out there, right?). Don’t get me wrong, it's elegant, too. But think more along the lines of Daniel Craig’s James Bond in a tux, gracefully sipping a martini. It’s a marvelous glow-up for the baccarat rooms and poker tables, but make no mistake, this can absolutely THROW DOWN once the chips have all been settled! 

Bet big on this to steal the show at your next party. Sexy blue fruits and luxurious espresso and chocolate truffle notes, accompanied with blackberry, and raspberry, WOWEE! This just coats the mouth with inky, velvety, cabernet nectar. BUT, THE PRICE! $40 Napa cabernets from the picture-perfect 2018 vintage just never have this sort of pedigree. This seriously out performs wines at three times the price! Barely enough to share, so STOP, DROP and LET’S ROLL!

“In 2018 many prodigious Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon’s were produced but not many of them touch the quality and value as the Collide Cabernet Sauvignon. Intense and deeply pitched aromas of dark and red fruits comingle with a mineral essence and classic Cabernet Sauvignon berries that are ripe and evoke a sense of freshness. The palate is loaded with dark cherry, boysenberry and cigar box tobacco that spike on the front-end. Framed by perfectly ripened tannins that give a sense of grip without being overbearing, this wine finishes with a long lingering finish that has a viscosity that coats the mouth and begs for another sip. Drink within the next few years with a short decant or age for 10-15 years to allow it to gain more secondary notes and hidden complexities.”
