About the Wine
The 2022 Verdon Estate Reserve No.5 Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine that’s playing in the same league as Oakville and Rutherford’s priciest bottles, but without the eye-watering price tag. Why drop $300+ on those “big name” Cabernets when this beauty delivers the same knockout punch of rich, bold flavors at a fraction of the cost?
Verdon Estate pulls its fruit from Napa’s high-roller neighborhoods—Oakville, where names like Screaming Eagle and Opus One play, and Rutherford, home to the famous 'Rutherford Dust' that gives those legendary tannins a run for their money. These aren’t just any vineyards—they’re dream plots, sitting on Napa’s alluvial soils, cooled by natural waterways like the Napa River. That’s why you get those mouthwatering layers of dark fruit, spice, and a texture that’s smooth yet powerful.
Verdon Estate's roots run deep, with a winemaking tradition spanning over five generations. Their journey led them from their ancestral town of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie in France to the enchanting Napa Valley. The winery pays homage to the Verdon River, which gave birth to their family's existence.
Now, let’s talk about the mastermind behind this bottle—Kevin Morrisey. With experience at Château Pétrus and Etude, he’s bringing that same world-class winemaking prowess to Verdon Estate. Kevin’s laser-focused on mountain-grown Cabernet, which means you get a wine that’s bold, structured, and dripping in pure Napa luxury.
Verdon Estate Reserve No.5 is the real deal. Why shell out for names when you can have all the prestige and none of the pompous pricing? Verdon’s here to shake up the scene, offering you the best of Napa Valley without emptying your wallet. Seriously, don’t miss out. At this price, it’s like getting first-class for economy. Time to upgrade your wine game!
Aging: in 60% new French Oak for 18 months.
Tasting Notes
100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Expect bold aromas of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, with subtle notes of tobacco and espresso. On the palate, the wine is lush and full-bodied, with firm tannins and a long, complex finish. This is the kind of Cabernet that will age beautifully but drinks like a dream right now.
