A 99-Point Vintage Masterpiece: Napa’s Most Exclusive Petit Verdot

Imagine this: the bold, lush flavors of Napa Valley in your glass—a wine so exclusive, only 125 cases exist, and you have the rare opportunity to claim yours.

Meet the 2018 Cerro Block Petit Verdot, a Napa Valley treasure from the esteemed Oak Knoll District. Crafted by J. Derek Beitler, the nephew of Caymus legend Charlie Wagner, this wine is pure artistry—bold, refined, and undeniably rare.

Here’s why it deserves a place in your collection:

  • 100% Single-Vineyard Petit Verdot: This varietal, typically a “secret weapon” in Bordeaux blends, takes center stage here—bold, expressive, and unforgettable.

  • Crafted by a Caymus Protégé: Derek Beitler’s mastery, honed at Caymus, shines in every bottle.

  • Vintage of the Decade: The 2018 Napa vintage earned a near-perfect 99 points from Wine Spectator, and this wine embodies that excellence with depth and terroir-driven beauty.

  • Aged to Perfection: Three years in 50% new French oak deliver layers of licorice, dried flowers, and leather, all wrapped in a smooth, unforgettable finish.

Take a sip, and you’ll feel it—like slipping into a velvet jacket. Rich. Luxurious. Endlessly inviting. This isn’t just wine; it’s an experience meant to be savored.

Why This is a Must-Buy:

Elsewhere, this rare treasure commands $80 a bottle. But today, Big Hammer Wines brings it to you for just $34.99—a jaw dropping 56% savings.

With only a handful of bottles available, this opportunity will vanish faster than a Napa sunset. 

Whether you’re spending a quiet evening at home or impressing guests at your next dinner, this wine promises to make every moment unforgettable.

Cheers to discovering Napa’s best-kept secret!
