This is a map of Napa, not a leftover case.
Most mixed packs hide the weak bottle in the middle. This one names every site. Atlas Peak. Stags Leap District. Rutherford twice, from two different producers. Diamond Mountain. Then Aaron Pott's Blackbird Manifest. You can taste the mountain, the district, the bench, and the new-release house style without building six carts.
Open two this weekend. Cellar the structured ones. Keep the surprise for the night you want a reveal. That is the point of the pack: a high-end Cabernet case with a job for every bottle.
What is in the pack
Warehouse picks one of each named bottle, plus the surprise. 60 packs on hand.
2021 Antinori Townsend • Atlas Peak
96 James Suckling. 96 Decanter. 93 Jeb Dunnuck.
Blackberry, cassis, cherry, violet, graphite, and crushed-rock detail, with firm fine tannins rather than loose sweetness. Estate-grown Atlas Peak fruit, 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, 20 months in new Taransaud French oak. $129 as a single. $165 winery reference.
2022 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Fay • Stags Leap District
95 James Suckling. Historic Fay Vineyard.
The velvet-glove side of Stags Leap Cabernet: red and black cherry, blueberry, cedar, graphite, iron, spearmint, and polished tannin. Fay Vineyard was the first Cabernet Sauvignon planting in what is now the Stags Leap District. 100% Cabernet. 20 months in new French oak. $150 as a single. $200 retail.
2023 Krutz Beckstoffer George III • Rutherford
Beckstoffer heritage vineyard. Named B2b block.
Dark cassis and plum, cocoa and cedar from French oak, firm tannins, graphite, and a long savory Rutherford finish. Clone 7 on 110R, 22 months, 90% new French oak. $150 as a single. This is the vineyard name collectors already know. No invented critic score on this bottle.
2022 Hailstone Proprietor's Reserve • Diamond Mountain
The $55 mountain Cab inside a high-end case.
Dark cassis, violets, black currant, and mountain grip. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. 22 months in French oak. $55 as a single against a $195 winery-direct reference. It is the value Cab that still reads like Diamond Mountain.
2022 Martin Ray Rutherford • Napa Valley
94 James Suckling. Volcanic benchland Cabernet.
Blackberry, cherry, and plum, then cinnamon, clove, dried herbs, black pepper, cedar, and toasted oak. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Consulting winemaker Keith Emerson. $75 as a single. $95 storefront winery price.
2023 Blackbird Manifest • Napa Valley
Aaron Pott. First refreshed Manifest label.
Black cherry, cassis, blackberry preserve, firm but polished tannins. Cabernet-led proprietary red: 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. $125 as a single. $180 winery reference. No invented wine score on Manifest.
Included surprise
A surprise is included in every pack. We do not name it here. It is extra. It is not counted in the $399 / $66.50 math on the named six.
How to drink the case
Fay and Martin Ray are the table bottles this week. Give them a short decant and pour with steak, lamb, or a roast. Townsend and Krutz want more air, or a year in the cellar: mountain tannin and Rutherford structure do not rush. Hailstone is the Diamond Mountain bottle you can open when you want mountain Cabernet without spending like it. Manifest is the new-release Blackbird. Save the surprise for the night the box is already on the table.
You do not have to drink Napa as one note. This pack is built so the Stags Leap bottle and the Atlas Peak bottle are not the same glass, and the two Rutherford bottles are not the same producer.
Shipping, honestly
The named mix is six 750 mL bottles. Complimentary shipping is twelve bottle equivalents, so a single pack does not ship free. Take two packs when you want the twelve-bottle path. Prove two packs in checkout before you count on it.
Warehouse picks one of each named bottle, plus the surprise. 60 packs on hand. Selling through this allocation zeros the reserved bottles of Townsend, Fay, Krutz, Hailstone, Rutherford, and Manifest that sit in this pack.
