Yount Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021
BOOM! And just like thatā¦.we subtracted 70 DOLLARS from the price for you. Yount Ridge! Napa cab! Crafted by the ROCKSTAR, 100 pt. Napa cab MACHINE that is Jean Hoefligerā¦hold on tight, ācause hereā¦weā¦GO!!!
The Debate. AXR. Michel Rollandās MRā¦these are just a few of Jeanās projects ā critical darlings, commercial success stories, and flat-out some of the tastiest, most lip-smacking wines in Napa Valley today. When Lisa Perotti-Brown, Robert Parkerās former protĆ©gĆ©, declares that Jean Hoefliger is perhaps the most gifted pupil of the LEGENDARY Michel Rollandā¦welp, youād best pay attention!Ā
Celia Welch may have got things started here at Yount Ridge (yāall have swarmed and devoured TONS of her bottles from here over the yearsā¦), and those of you that just KNOWā¦youāre already loading up a six-pack. To the uninitiated, trust your Napa Valley Wine Merchant...this stuff is off. The. HOOK!!! 96% cabernet sauvignon, 2% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc. 26 months in 70% new French oak. 110% ROCKING Napa cab? YES!!!
The winery has this layered, sumptuous beauty selling for $120ā¦just about the going rate for top-end Napa cab from duly famous winemakers these days. But HERE? Today? Weāre lopping off a full SEVENTY-ONE DOLLARSā¦and tell me, who wouldnāt want Napa cab ā from the marvelous 2021 vintage ā at nearly 60% OFF?!?!?!Ā
No brainer. Drinks like $100+ easy. Jeanās signature style of inky depth contrasted by elegantly lifted aromatics is stamped all over this ā so DARK and mysterious, yet percolating with aromas of red cherries, crushed blackberries, and smoldering sage. It builds speed with a core of rich dark chocolate, toasted black pepper, and vanilla, with even more berry notes like raspberries and black currants. WOW! Talk about mouth-coating!!! Little flourishes of graphite and orange peel too ā adding even more structure and a bit of zesty brightness. KILLER 2021 no question, and at our utterly silly PRICE?! Goā¦just, go.
** Jeanās āunicornā, best-Iāve-ever-had wine is the iconic Cheval Blanc 1947 (Iāve never tasted itā¦but would faint at the chance!) which he argues proves that Napa can make age-worthy reds that even surpass the best of Bordeaux (as 1947 was a very Napa-esque year, warm, with higher ABV and lower ph than typical Bordeaux vintages). His ideal epitaph for his tombstone?Ā
āHere lies the guy that made the world understand that Napa Valley wine can age as well, if not better, than Bordeaux.ā **
