Dear Friends,
The most top-reviewed Cabernet in our site’s history is back – and it's better than ever.
If you’re a fan of our Meteor Vineyard releases, you’re not alone. Feedback from our customers for Lot 545 was awesome, and the critics were impressed as well – our 2012 release picked up 92 pts from Steve Heimoff, 91 pts from Wine Spectator, and Gold Medals from multiple competitions. At the time, it was my favorite ever CHW wine.
Today’s release takes it up yet another notch.
Meteor Vineyard sits on a plateau of old alluvial gravels in Coombsville District’s geological “bowl”. Nature saw fit to form the incredible soils of this region on a diverse array of stony lake deposits and river sediments, resting on bedrock shaped by lava flows and other volcanic discharges from a time long forgotten. A cool climate region, Coombsville enjoys a growing season with morning fog and afternoon winds that shorten midday heat; maritime influences from the San Pablo Bay keep conditions cool leading up to harvest. It’s a very special place to grow exquisite Cabernet, and the list of producers sourcing here is a who’s who of blue chip cult wineries.
Fantastic, gorgeous, exotic is just the beginning when it comes to describing this wine.
Lot 598 2013 Meteor Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a true Napa Valley superstar. Sublime, high-toned aromas of flowers, ripe blackberry, and molten licorice leap out of the glass. Luscious entry on the palate, redolent with dense, brooding dark fruits. Umami succulence abounds, bolstered by powerful structure and sensual textures. Power, precision, and depth – another velvet skyscraper of a wine. Extravagantly rich, this is a stunning and worthy successor to our highest-ever rated Cab, and is up there with any cult Napa Cab you’d find for $150+/bottle. You just can’t find Napa Valley Cabernet of this quality anywhere near this price.
I’ve already mentioned how the folks at Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate are already calling the 2013s “the next superstar vintage” and are rating it with unprecedented scores. Hard to argue – Napa Valley was blessed that year with some of the best growing conditions we’ve ever seen. Lot 598 will live up to these lofty expectations, and then some – promise.
Give this wine a few weeks to recover from its journey to you, decant for a good hour or two, and treat yourself.
