If you're like us, when you hear the phrase "2016 Napa Cab" your curiosity is sparked. But when you hear "95-point 2016 Napa Cab at 65% off" your undivided attention is immediately fixated on a deal that seems too good to be true. Well, today's offer definitely seems like a miracle and it is.
The 95-point 2016 Mira Winery Cabernet Sauvignon from Yountville comes from a winery whose name is derived from the Latin root word for "miracle." This is an "impressively structured wine" that is coming to you at the best price in the country!
Mira's 2016 Yountville Cab is luxury personified. It's a robust wine featuring ripe blueberries, black plums, blackberry jam, tobacco leaf, black pepper, and dried herbs. It has riveting full-bodied power complemented by grace and elegance. This opulent wonder is everything you expect from a Napa Cab and more!
In Yountville, you'll find some of Napa's best restaurants including The French Laundry, Bistro Jeanty, and Bouchon alongside Napa's top estates. Mira is one of those estates. This 16-acre, family-owned estate is laser-focused on single-vineyard, single-varietal wines with an emphasis on sustainable production techniques. Mira is one of the most exciting up-and-coming producers in Napa.
This is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from a single vineyard in Yountville, close to the Oakville border. Mira's 2016 Yountville Cab spent 18 months in 65% new French Oak barrels before release. It's also coming from the 2016 vintage which, according to Decanter is, "unquestionably one of the finest for California Cabernet Sauvignon in the past two decades." Critics agree, with Wine Spectator and Vinous Media each crowning the vintage with a 98-point rating.
There's no question, this is a great wine. But when you realize it's 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, 100% Yountville from one of the greatest vintages for California Cab that's $94 less than its original SRP, it truly is a miracle.
