Cult Cabernet Overload
We scored some epic Cabernet (plus a little Bionic Frog).  We don’t need to say too much—these are rare wines at incredible prices.  As you might expect, quantities are limited and they’ll be going fast.

OWCs are available for the Harlan, Hundred Acre and Shafer, but cannot be guaranteed unless all the bottles of any given wine are purchased.

In Stock Now:

Harlan Estate, Napa Valley 2002 750ML ($1199.95) $999 special, 6 bottles in stock now
Robert Parker 100 points “The extraordinary Harlan Estate, which I awarded 100 points seven years ago, offers no justifiable reason to doubt its perfect score.

Weingut Hirsch Kammerner Grub Gruner Veltliner Erste OTW Lage Reserve, Kamptal 2013 1.5L ($119.95) Was $99, Now $89 special
David Schildknecht–Vinous 91 points “After following this pithy, piquant, tightly coiled and firm yet lees-inflected bottling for a year, it seems to clearly be the Hirsch 2013 that has the farthest to travel before it reveals its full potential.

Jeb Dunnuck 95+ points “Slightly fresher than the La Roquete release (I always taste this cuvee after the la Roquete which is also made by the Brunier family), the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc gives up lots of lemon and grapefruit characteristics as well as a terrific, salty minerality that makes you salivate.

The Legendary Lopez de Heredia

Lopez de Heredia is one of the world’s elite wine estates.  This statement isn’t a surprise to anyone who reads at all about Spanish wines, but it bears repeating.  “Why?” you might ask, “would you tell us something we already know?”

The answer to that question is that for all of the grace, complexity, age-worthiness and profundity of the wines, the prices are shockingly low.
