Dear Friends,
I’ll just cut to the chase here.
Today’s release is sourced from a Napa Valley producer that just received a perfect 100 point score from a major wine critic for their 2012 Cabernet. While it’s too close for comfort to name, I can also say that the barrel samples for their 2013 flagship Cabernet have preliminarily scored 96+ points and are again a candidate for “perfection”, followed by a quick sellout at $300+/bottle. Yeehaw.
However, now that I have surreptitiously gained your attention, here is where I have to be honest: I didn’t get any of that wine. But, I do have the next best thing: their other bottling, which is sourced from the same vineyards and effectively operates like a second label. While it “only” scored a lowly 93-95 points from barrel, it still sells for just under half of that $300 price.
But let’s get serious here, as Lot 599 2013 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon certainly deserves your attention. The wine is sourced primarily from a hillside, high-elevation vineyard in Calistoga whose unique character is derived from deposits in the soil that were built up by streams that stopped flowing countless years ago. What you’ll find in the bottle is nothing short of marvelous, and belongs on the same rack of your wine cellar where you keep the most prized pieces of your collection.
Lot 599 displays a dense, opaque purple color. Right out of the bottle, aromatics of bright cherry fruit, meaty crème de cassis, and allspice notes. With air, pretty florals emerge with soaring blue/black fruits, molten licorice, dark chocolate and fresh turned earth. A dense, brooding complexity on the palate is augmented by a fantastic glycerin/fruit core. Splendid oak integration and a tightly wound mid-palate resolves in a rich and lavish finish that goes on for a good 45-50 seconds. Already showing amazingly well with just a few months in bottle…the aging upside here is exponential.
