Sling & Spear doesn’t settle for anything less than extraordinary. Born from the acclaimed 2019 vintage, the estate sources its grapes from some of Napa Valley’s most prestigious sites—think Rutherford, Yountville, Oakville, and St. Helena.
The grape is sourced from three of the finest and most expensive Cabernet Sauvignon clones in Napa Valley: 337, 4, and 6—the same as those planted at the iconic To Kalon vineyard. These clones are responsible for some of Napa’s most sought-after wines, and Sling & Spear harnesses that greatness, delivering top-tier quality without the eye-watering price.

2019 was a fabulous year for Napa Valley. Wine Spectator awarded this year a 97-point score, and Vinous Media gave it 96 points saying that "The 2019 Napa Valley Cabernets have turned out beautifully. 2019 is a very high-quality vintage of Cabernets that will be easy to drink and enjoy with minimal cellaring. The extra kick of late heat softened the tannins, making the wines a pleasure to taste and drink."

- Steak · Lamb · Mushroom Dish
100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep, intense color hints at what’s to come—blackberry and cassis unfold with every sip. It’s rich and brooding, yet perfectly balanced. This is a Cabernet designed for the cellar, but you’ll be tempted to open it up now and share the moment.
