About The Wine

There’s always a wild child in the family, and Reserve No.3 stands proud under that identity. The 2023 Napa Valley Red exhibits dark cherry, blackcurrant, and plum, led by hints of mocha, vanilla bean, and a touch of clove.

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.

Behind every great wine is a passionate winemaker. And in Verdon’s case, that’s rockstar Kevin Morrisey, with a resume that includes Château Pétrus and Etude Winery, he brings a wealth of expertise to Verdon Estate. He's captivated by mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, and with Verdon Estate, he's committed to delivering high-quality, quintessential Napa Valley wines.

In a market where Napa Valley Reds are increasingly coveted and commanding premium prices, finding an exceptional offering under $35 can seem impossible. However, Verdon Estate Proprietary Red Reserve No. 5 Blueline Vineyards defies the odds, offering a remarkable value. This wine stands out not just for its exceptional flavor, which can compete with renowned wines like Orin Swift and Prisoner, but also for its budget-friendly price.

The 2023 Napa Valley vintage isn’t just another great year – it’s the year that will be etched in history. Wine experts are calling it "the vintage of a lifetime," and for good reason. The perfect blend of cool temperatures, morning fog, and balanced sunlight created conditions so exceptional that they’re being compared to Bordeaux's iconic 1961 vintage. As The Wine Independent put it, 2023 is "a winemaker's dream in terms of wine style." Wine Bible author Karen MacNeil calls it "one of the most phenomenal vintages ever in Napa Valley." This is Napa at its finest, with wines of depth, power, and elegance that will be the talk of the wine world for decades to come.

A red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel.

Dark cherry, blackcurrant, and plum drive the nose, lifted by mocha, vanilla bean, and a whisper of clove.

The palate is smooth and layered, with refined tannins and a balanced richness that stretches into a long, polished finish. Subtle oak and spice add depth while keeping the vibrant fruit front and center.

CRITIC REVIEWS

What the Critics Said

The wine springs into action with dark red fruit, lifted by an inherent fresh acid structure and mineral-inspired tension. Floral notes abound, from hibiscus to the herbaceous qualities of blackberry blossom. Graphite forms a belt around this amazon: fierce and sexy. ~ 95 The Tasting Panel
About as classic Napa as it gets. Bold, rich, ripe blackberry and black cherry fruit mingle with graphite, fresh cedar, and dark chocolate, all finding their footing on the full-bodied palate. Supple, silky tannins provide seamless structure, gliding the wine toward a long and satisfying finish. ~ 93 Decanter
