Dear Friends,
As the list faithful well know, we have been producing wine from Stagecoach Vineyard for many years now, primarily sourcing from the legendary M-Block. The robust harvests of 2012 and 2013 gave us an opportunity in 2014 to also get our hands on Cabernet from the equally prestigious L-Block just next door. Planted to the long-time workhorse of Napa Valley, Clone 7 Cabernet, Stagecoach L-Block’s combination of altitude and lean volcanic soil produces richly fruited yet powerfully structured wines. From the minute this wine came off the press we knew we had something special. Introducing the next release in our 2014 Cabernet Countdown (yes, the same countdown that started last Fall), Lot 608 2014 Stagecoach Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.
Our previous Stagecoach Cabernet offerings (Lots 525, 597, and 603) are some of the top customer-reviewed Cabs in our site’s history, and picked up 91-94 points and Gold Medals galore – if those were any indication, you’re going to love Lot 608. Considering one of Napa’s most famous winemakers makes a Cabernet from this same block that sells for $150+/bottle, I think it’s safe to say this is absolutely classic Napa Valley Cabernet at an incredible price.
Surprisingly effusive right out of the bottle, with beautiful ripe florals, raspberry kirsch, and crushed red rock surrounding a core of blackberry, cassis, and chocolate. Perfectly balanced on the palate, with a sexy raspberry bramble backed with chocolate notes and mineral infused tannins in a long and sweeping finish. There are only a few hundred cases here folks, go for it!
As a New Release special offer, go ahead and take 15% off any purchase of one case or more through Friday night at midnight (Wine Club members get 20% off) as long as the order includes one bottle of Lot 608 (mix and match the whole store!).
As always, if you have any questions or need assistance with your order, please don’t hesitate to email us or call 800-805-1971.
Cheers!
