Cobblestone Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Atlas Peak Napa Valley 2013

Boo-yah! Central Coast grenache, thanks for stopping by! Y’all people are the best…what a MONDAY! I’m bringing this good ju-ju to my Saint Helena Bocce league tonight…

Wine # 3

Rolling onward, and yeah, let’s do this…NAPA CABERNET SAUVIGNON, people! 70% OFF! Nope, not a typo, we’re just THAT good! Remember Saul Levine? The 95-year-old pirate king of L.A. Radio?! Who started making wine in the 70s – all while fending off the corporate raiders and standing firm as the ONLY independent radio owner/operator in the L.A. basin? We’ve never met, but Saul…I love you. Anywho…the wine! Saul added a prime vineyard on Atlas Peak to his collection in 1997 and has been making this estate-grown cabernet sauvignon since 2001. Up at 1500 feet, this is a structured, beautifully layered mountain cabernet with gob-smacking intensity and impenetrable depth. The 2013 vintage is still the measuring stick for many Napa Cab lovers – with a structure, immensity, and sheer unbridled power that makes it a top contender for Napa’s best-ever vintage. But today, you beautiful readers, you… well, you can get a prime 2013 cabernet for UNDER $25!!!

How? Just…how?!?! No time to think!!! Grab some. This ten years young beast is a remarkable beauty – the power of Atlas Peak, carefully harnessed, and ready for your glass. Crushed rocks, wild sagebrush, black plum tarts, plus blackberry, cassis, brandied cherries – Yowza! Expansive, but soft, with a velvety, minerally finish that hits across your tongue with cedar, black peppercorn, a bit of baker’s chocolate, and even truffle… this will DESTROY any Napa cabernet under $25 – provided you can even find one to compare with it. While it lasts!!!
