About this wine
94 POINTS! From 100-point winemaking phenom, Julien Fayard, this glorious OAKVILLE Cabernet Sauvignon is ready to rock...your...WORLD! Julien Fayard. Mark Herold. Jay Bouncristiani. Umm…starstruck much?!?! This magical high-powered trio are the wizards behind the curtain at Edict — and at our simply MIND-MELTING 67+% OFF price — you’d be wise to throw your name in the Goblet of Fire for this deal! Why, you ask? You know, other than the cray-cray, UNDER $40 price? Or the high-flying 94 POINT score that calls this a “distinctly Oakville” GEM? Or the fact that we are talking about the simply MARVELOUS “as perfect as any Napa vintage in living memory” 2023 growing season (thanks, Karen MacNeil, for the quote!) Hmm… I can’t imagine why…at all! PSYCH!!! This slays like Ser Duncan the Tall in a seven-on-seven tournament to clear his name…and it tastes like the quintessential OAKVILLE CAB that it is — without the $120+++ price tag. Seriously, if you love the gorgeous violet and lilac aromatics, with that grounding minerality of volcanic soil, and crushed gravel, interspersed with that wild bramble berry character, and a medley of roasted bay, and thyme, and all manner of culinary herbs — your ship has come in!!! I mean…Julien Fayard, people! This guy’s CV reads like a 3 Michelin-star wine list! Lafite Rothschild, Gemstone, Covert, Smith Haut Lafitte, Somnium, Beau Vigne, and his own Purlieu, among many others. He’s one of the biggest winemakers in the world right now, and this beauty demonstrates WHY. Then there’s Mark Herold — a long-time ICON of Napa’s boldest and most unapologetically MASSIVE Napa Cabs, and this fall in-step like a perfectly coordinated free skate performance from Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara. (Google it.) If you love ‘em big, bold, and certainly NOT-FOR-THE-SHY…you’re gonna want some. At over $80 off, with 94 POINTS, and savings of a solid 67+%...I mean, how could you not???? While it lasts!!! ** Don’t confuse this “Collinetta” with a vineyard of the same name in Coombsville – the name means “little hill,” and this EASTERN Oakville hillside sourcing includes two heavy-hitters of Napa’s priciest AVA… whose real names are fiercely protected by an iron-clad series of NDAs. **
