SNEAK PREVIEW/We did it again, THREE reasonable YET highly rated GUZZLER REDS from Cali,94 points

 
Enjoy your week. Nice to have rain and cooler weather!
 
MAKE SURE TO GRAB/"STEAL" A CASE OF EACH , both REDS ($12 to $37) ARE RATED 89/100 to 94/100, AMAZING FINDS:
 
We tasted and PERSONALLY picked the following  TWO CALI CAB GEMS among dozens of other choices:
 
 
 
1) 2012 TRIM CABERNET SAUVIGNON , ST HELENA- CALIFORNIA- $12.95 89/100
 
We have the last 15 cases of the 2012 (GREAT VINTAGE IN CALIFORNIA) Cabernet in the state and once these are gone we will be waiting for the winery to ship the next vintage in 4-5 months
 
Their Cabernet has been a focus brand of SUPERSTAR OWNER/WINEMAKER RAY SIGNARILLO, a top cult cab winemaker for  many years so we are happy that we get to continue to offer this as our favorite Cabernet under $13.00. Every vintage SIGNARILLO  produces a  "SECOND LABEL" Cabernet that tastes more like a $25+ Napa Cabernet. This is an all American style cabernet that does not hold back on bold black fruit flavors yet is still soft and silky on the finish. There is a slight hint of cherries covered in milk chocolate right at the end that makes this such a delight. It's a Cabernet that should please even the most finicky Cabernet drinker, especially at this price/rating ratio...
 
AMAZING, AN 89 RATED CAB UNDER $13!!!

2) 2013 TREFETHEN FAMILY VINEYARDS CABERNET SAUVIGNON-OAK KNOLL DISTRICT, NAPA-CALIFORNIA-$36.95...Normally $55-60, 94/100 and 93/100!!!
 
100% FAMILY OWNED and 100% ESTATE GROWN, this IS-BY FAR-an unbeliavable deal from this ICONIC FAMILY WINERY...THIS IS TRULY A NAPA MONSTER CAB!
If you like thin, wimpy, weedy reds, STAY AWAY FROM THIS ALL AMERICAN NAPA GIANT, as BIG AS TEXAS!
 
Big wine, big success, big taste and big rating....AND BIG BARGAIN"The cigar chomping, four wheel driving,  no excuse, steak eating  ALL AMERICAN beefy and juicy cab"  

Trefethen Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Cabernet Sauvignon from Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley, California

  • red wine
  • Big & Bold
  • 14.8% alc.
  • WW94
  • JS93
  •  retail price $55.99
   
  • Winemaker's Notes

    Vibrant and deep ruby color. The very attractive nose has aromas of fresh blackberry, red currant and dried fruit. The palate is round and opens with earthy/herbal tones and finishes with silky flavors of cassis, chocolate and black pepper. Balanced and drinkable now, but also an excellent addition to the collector's cellar.

    Pair with a hearty red meat, duck, lamb, game or veal cut. To bring out the flavors in the wine, complement the entree with sides or sauces featuring mushrooms, roasted tomatoes or garden spices (oregano or thyme).

  • A TRUE CARNIVORE'S CAB!!!

    Critical Acclaim

    • WW 94 /100
      Wilfred Wong of Wine.com - "The 2013 Trefethen Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the brightest stars from one of the Napa Valley's best vintages in recent years. Beautiful from start to finish, the wine's impressive nose—bold black fruits, lively black currants, sweet oak—scripts a scene of delight. Serve with a Porterhouse steak topped with blue cheese. Starting to drink nicely. (Tasted: July 20, 2016, San Francisco, CA)"
    • JS 93 /100
      James Suckling - "Classic producer makes a beautiful red. Bright aromas of blueberries, raspberries and black licorice. Full-bodied, firm and silky. Wet earth, bark and mineral undertones. Fantastic now but better in 2018."
