Perfectly dark in the glass, the nose is filled with delineated black cherry, currant, cedar, and dried herbs. The entry is expertly weighted with medium acidity carrying red fruit over soft leather, pipe tobacco, and graphite wrapped in plentiful, small, grippy tannins. The finish is long with baking spices, crushed violets, barrel-flecked vanilla, and cranberry umami. Quite enjoyable now, yet the patient among us will be rewarded in spades.

CHW Confidential
Napa Valley is famous the world over for exceptional Cabs, and occasionally, we come across one of the very top houses cutting bait with exclusive, tasting room only, reserve program, or single vineyard bottlings, however, the price isn’t always right. That’s not the case this go around. One of the tightest NDAs we signed late last year allowed us to find the perfect intersection of exceptional wine at an extraordinary value.
Lot 875 is produced by a house that essentially defines Napa pedigree with triple-digits running the cost of entry. All their releases are in the barrels-to-low case count quantities, so exclusive is something they embody to the fullest. As such, the quantity of what we have to offer today is hyper-limited, and all we can tell you about this wine is it’s 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, 100% New French oak aged, and a one-off score from a discontinued program at the original winery. This is a bottle that may seem unassuming but is in fact a collector’s item.
