Well, for those who don’t know, 2021 is the new “IT” vintage. It is poised to be one of the vintages of the decade. Vinous Media blessed this year with a 95-98 point score and said: "Two thousand twenty-one is a fabulous vintage in Napa Valley. That’s the good news. The not-so-good news is that production is down sharply, 30-50% in many cases. The wines have tremendous energy as well as finesse. In tasting, the 2021s show some of the savory intensity of other drought vintages – 2013 and 2014 come to mind – but with more aromatic explosiveness and greater inner sweetness."
Voilà! There you go, but if you didn’t catch that last part, because of its tiny production, 2021 is LIMITED and ALLOCATED, so stocking up on 2021 Verdon Estate Proprietary Red Reserve No. 5 Blueline Vine is truly a no-brainer.
So here it is:
CALLING to all our Orin Swift & Prisoner-style lovers!!!! We've got someone you need to meet: Please give a warm welcome to your soon-to-be-favorite wine: the 2021 Verdon Estate Proprietary Red Reserve no.5 Blueline Vineyards Napa Valley
Now, if you love the wines I just mentioned, let me ask you something: Are you truly willing to fork over more than $70 for a bottle of Prisoner or a hefty $150 for an Orin Swift?... I mean, these wines are everywhere, yet offer no surprise, no thrill, and honestly, overpriced.
Or would you rather savor an under-the-radar, exciting, and exclusive alternative that not only matches in quality but also won't break the bank? I’m pretty sure what your answer will be 😉. The next question is do you go with 6, 12, 24 bottles? I will leave that up to you!
So, HERE IT IS: A top-notch 92 pt Napa Valley red blend. It's the perfect fusion between Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Zinfandel, a true "architectural beauty" as described by Tasting Panel Magazine. If you enjoy a healthy dose of vanilla oak and blueberry cassis flavors, you’ll love this one.
Behind every exceptional wine stands a passionate winemaker. In Verdon's case, it's the rockstar Kevin Morrisey, whose impressive resume includes stints at Château Pétrus and Etude Winery. He brings a wealth of expertise to Verdon Estate and is particularly enamored with Cabernet Sauvignon grown in the mountains.
No. 5 Blueline Vineyards is a rare gem in the world of Napa Reds. This extraordinary wine takes the classic flavors of Napa Valley and kicks it up a notch. Sourced from one of St. Helena's most prized vineyards, this Proprietary Red is a flavor adventure, bold and stylish. In one word: Exceptional.
And here's the best news: You can have it for less than $30 per bottle, and that even includes free shipping when you grab six bottles or more. Happy Shopping!
