Lot 64 2024 Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml
$130 Estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon for just $22/bottle? Folks, this is a don't miss...BOOM BOOM juice for sure...just trust me on this one. Sourced from a no-expense-spared program in the heart of the Sonoma Valley, this is an absolutely spectacular Cabernet Sauvignon from what is likely the best vintage in decades for Sonoma Valley Cab from one of the best producers in Sonoma Valley (which is typically cooler than Napa Valley so it handled the warmth of 2024 better) . And my apologies up front, folks, that's all I can say about that... Like I said, just trust me on this one folks, this is a don't miss for Cabernet-lovers! Beautifully extracted, inky and opaque, almost squid ink black but not quite. Blackberry jam and cassis are underpinned with notes of creme de mure, coffee grounds and sandalwood from nicely integrated oak. Pretty spices come with air along with a lovely gravel halo. Massive and palate staining but still juicy and fantastically delicious with great structure and huge length. Perfectly balanced with ripe blackberry jam, cassis and vibrant blackcurrant slathered over ample, big-grained tannins and supported with gravelly acidity that delivers a massive, energetic finish that echos with ripe fruit for a good 60 seconds. F*cking fantastic! 100% estate grown 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec, 6% Cabernet Franc ~50%-60% new French oak ~150 cases available 15.2% alc.
