Stuhlmuller Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Barrel Selection Alexander Valley 2023

I mean, who could ever say “no” to a 96 POINT Cabernet? At an incredible 76+% OFF, too boot?! This baddie is already flying among the staff here at LB Headquarters...so get a move on!

Stuhlmuller!!! You’ve tasted their EPIC Pinots – but have you ever tried their rarest and most highly prized Barrel Select CAB crafted from their glorious Alexander Valley estate?! Get ready for an out-of-this-world experience! Over 40 years of delectable Sonoma grapes, and this is it, folks…the pinnacle, the top of the mountain, the absolute best of the best – at OVER 76% OFF and rocking 96 POINTS – let’s do this!!!

100 barrels of Cabernet were made in the remarkable 2023 growing season, then tasted, and tasted again, whittling down with extreme prejudice to a mere 26 barrels! The resulting 650 cases are just STUNNING – and we took every last bottle they would sell us, at the hands-down BEST price anywhere! UNDER $30 makes this almost…ALMOST…too good to be true…especially next to the winery’s $125 price! The luscious blackberries, and crème de cassis, then violets, a dusting of cocoa powder, some chewy black licorice, with this savory and meaty element of roast beef drippings, and charred lavender, alongside a heady and deeply volcanic minerality, then finishing with this boisterous potpourri of cigar box shavings. Wowza…this is INTENSE! Ripe fruits perfectly framed by balanced acidity, and an uplifting freshness that carries this forward both lightly AND substantially…I mean, what more could you dream of in an Alexander Valley Cab?! And THE PRICE????

Just jaw-dropping. Roger and Carmen Stuhlmuller purchased the 150-acre Alexander Valley property back in 1982, with much of the property already planted in the 1970s. They sold fruit to some of Napa’s and Sonoma’s best (Souverain and Simi, to name a few), and in the mid 90s, their son, Fritz, decided to keep some of the fruit and make their own wines. One sip in and you are gonna be damn glad that they did – this is easily one of the top Sonoma Cabs I’ve tried in many, many moons! There’s a reason Decanter called this “positively stunning…alluring…nuanced…suave and supple” – ‘cause it freaking ROCKS, people! Our cray-cray price simply seals the deal. So don’t waste another second, go on and fill up your cart! 

While they last!
