About this wine
The Marston Cab has officially sold out—looks like it disappeared faster than cookies on Christmas Eve! But don’t worry, there’s more cheer coming your way. Next up is a 92-point Vice that’s worthy of its own spot under the tree! “No LEGACY is so rich as honesty.” – the Bard himself, William Shakespeare What can I say, Bill is dead on. But next in line? The second richest Legacy? The Vice’s 2022 Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon has my vote!!! And at our simply unbeatable Last Bottle price of a full 60% OFF?!?! Stop it. I mean, just C’MON. Under $60 for single vineyard STAGS LEAP CAB? What can we say, we tasted it, and immediately called dibs. SURE, you could beg for an allocation and pay $155 from the winery…or…OR!!! You could save a melon-whomping $96 TODAY!!! The choice is yours. The seasoned Last Bottlers among you – that grabbed and glugged any of the Vice wines we’ve showcased before – know that these are ultra-plush, rich, toasty, and gloriously opulent MODERN Napa wines to their very core of inky, dark berry goodness. But THIS?! It SLAYS! Those of your fortunate fiends that scored some of the 2021 vintage know a bit of what to expect – but the warmer conditions of 2022 amped this beauty all the way up to ELEVEN. Yes, it's a spinal tap injection of mouth-coating, god-revering ambrosia – filled to the brim with Bacchanalian berry and cherry decadence, and a level of toasty, chocolate-y, barrel imbued richness that must have been kissed by Zeus’ thunderbolt itself. Molten chocolate cake, crushed berries, blackberry liqueur, and all manner of teeth-staining goodness. Life to age up to a decade – but if this is your style – don’t hold back. Pop a bottle as soon as it hits your porch, fire up a ribeye on the grill, and get the biggest goblets at your disposal. This LEGACY is secured…but it’s up to you just how much you can call your own. While it lasts!!
