Pope Valley Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019

93 POINT Napa Cab, from the 100-point winemaking PHENOM that is Jean Hoefliger – this one has me feeling the Friday Feels fo’ sho’!!!

Ok, we recently dropped the price on this, making an already stupendous deal on Napa Cab downright INSANE! Over 57% and UNDER $30. For NAPA CAB!? In the absolutely GLORIOUS 2019 Napa Vintage? Yes…so much YES!!! Velvety smooth black cherries, some chocolate-dipped blueberries, that oh-so-sexy lift of violets and lavender…BABY! This has whispers of that classic Howell Mountain graphite, smoldering sage, wild bay laurel depth to it – with a soft velvety tannin structure that won’t suck your gums dry. It’s long but soft, and silky with an incredible purity…all in all…just BANGING!

You know all about Pope Valley Winery, of course…tucked off the backside of Howell Mountain, in a historic, sleepy little valley from a classic old-school-y winery that dates back to 1897! We’ve loved them for years (in fact, a few of us went to grade school with them), but it’s not a stretch to proclaim to anyone who will listen (you, hopefully) that they are easily making the very best wines of their entire existence – RIGHT NOW! Jean Hoefliger was hired as the Director of Winemaking by the Eakle family in 2018 and since then, the winery has had a stratospheric rise in quality! Today’s utterly STUNNING Cab has one of the most exciting quality-to-price ratios you’ll see in Napa – I still can scarcely believe it myself!!! 93 POINT NAPA CABS, for UNDER $30 are few and far between these days…LOAD UP!
