Meteor Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Perseid Napa Valley 2016

One Meteor down so let's keep em coming!!!  A STUNNING 66+% OFF on 95-point Napa Cab?! Let’s do this, Sunday!!!

“The 2016 is a sensual, mysterious Cabernet, and yet my impression is that it will be even better in another few years’ time. This is one of the better vintages of the Perseid I can remember tasting, and certainly the most elegant.” – Antonio Galloni, 95 points

Yeah, he said that. Back in winter 2018, too – so those few years he mentioned? And his stated “drinking window” of 2021-2031? RIGHT…freaking…NOW!!!

METEOR in da house! 2016!!! How was that almost a decade ago??? I’m falling apart at the knees, and yet this remarkable Coombsville Cabernet is just hitting its stride. Not fair at all, but what’ll you do?! Anywho, 2016 is a true LEGEND as an all-time great Napa Cab vintage…and this Meteor falls right in line there – perfectly ripe fruit, plenty of concentration, and the Goldilocks “just right” balance of acidity, structure, and silky mouthfeel. All for the BEST PRICE ANYWHERE!!!

Stop it. This prized vineyard has been a fiercely protected source for top winemakers like Andy Erickson, Philippe Melka, Andy Smith, and more for the last two decades! Local legends Bill and Dawnine Dyer are at the helm for this brilliant expression of the volcanic soils and cool climate of Coombsville – and this is the most brilliant example of why Coombsville has been a TOP region for Napa’s best of the best Cabernet powerhouse for years! It opens like an overture, with a symphonic and aromatic medley of purple flowers, savory herbs, with cooling flecks of graphite and mint, and this long blackberry and blueberry crumble worthy of Martha Stewart. The first sip immediately coats every nook and cranny of your mouth with heady kirsch and roasted plums, followed by a lively and vibrant uplift of cranberries and cherries, and peppery notes that pop and tingle across your tongue endlessly. It holds like gorilla glue, and wave after wave keeps swirling and crashing for the next minute or more. Under $60 makes this an unquestioned STEAL – and between a couple weeks at our icy warehouse, and the rest of the last 9-ish years direct at the winery – the provenance of this purring kitten is UNBEATABLE! Normally $175…yet nowhere near that today! OVER $100 OFF! Huzzah!

While it lasts, good people!
