About this wine
Sell out Alert!!! Let's keep the Cab rolling...... Old Rutherford has landed! The newest bottling from the seemingly endless hit makers at Beau Vigne — with 100 point winemaking LEGEND Julien Fayard blending fruit from some of Rutherford’s most iconic sites...including the famed GEORGES III vineyard!!! Get this…and FAST! Simply classic Rutherford Cab, with 94 POINTS, and built with a juicy, crazy complex, core of GEORGE III Cabernet Sauvignon…well, surely we’re looking at $90 plus…right? I mean, the winery itself retails this for $150 a pop, so maybe, ‘cause you know…we’re Last Bottle, it’s closer to $60? Still not low enough? OK…how’s a full 72% OFF, and a price tag just over $40…final offer!!! Pretty freakin’ LEGIT, right? Beau Vigne are Napa Cab specialist, and those in the know (like Robert Parker when he called these folks “one of my favorite wineries”...) just KNOW. A bastion for incubating young Napa winemaking talent on the verge of superstardom (ahem…Kirk Venge, Dave Phinney, and now Julien Fayard, anyone?) and when the sourcing is this incredible (and the 2023 vintage?) Fughetaboutit!!!! Concentrated, inky black, with gorgeous crème de cassis, and a pretty little bouquet of lilacs and violets, then some serious intensity of blackberries, and black cherries, with blueberries, and molten chocolate, with cinnamon red hots, and this warm, earthy spice of cardamom, and mace, and charred rosemary…YES!!! Minty freshness and fresh bay leaves keep this cool and lengthy on the silky finish, and those barrel notes throughout give this roundness, and top-notch, cult-worthy polish. All THAT for UNDER $45?! Just insanity! Not as much as we’d like, so load up on your stash, and shine on you crazy diamonds! While it lasts! **Heads up, Last Bottlers! Y’all have been ordering a CRAZY amount of wine lately (and we LOVE ya for that!) Our warehouse is picking and packing orders as fast as humanly possible, but that’s right about two weeks after your order is placed at the moment, so if you’re going ground…week three is when y’all should expect delivery. Of course, if you need that wine PRONTO — make use of any of our expedited shipping options at checkout and your order leaps to the front of the queue! Sorry for the delay…but I’ll let you in on a secret…ground-breaking changes are coming your way, soon!**
