2021 Routestock Cabernet 750ML
2021 Routestock Cabernet 750ML “This wine is amassing an enviable track record at an affordable price level. It’s not overly weighty, woody, or assertive, but does afford a lot of flavor, and delivers it in a lastingly delicious manner. This will out-perform many Cabs at twice its price on grounds of purity and immediate enjoyability.” Michael Franz. The Tasting Panel
Quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is the best way to describe this complex medium-to-big-bodied wine. The nose is blackberries, anise and toasted nuts; the palate offers flavors of mocha, mushrooms, walnuts and plums with a nice long, firm finish. This wine drinks beautifully now and will continue to do for years to come.
Value from Napa is becoming harder and harder to find, especially from exceptional vintages. There was a time when we could consistently find 10 tremendous under $25 Napa Cabs, but those days are gone. The 2021 Routestock Cabernet is a representation of why we do what we do: find great wines that won’t bust the bank. Once we tasted, we bought big, knowing the craving many of you have for quality Napa under $25. That has allowed us to offer you a 31% Savings. This is one of the two best Napa Cabs under twenty five that I have tasted from the great 2021 vintage. The wine is made by Aussie-born Wayne Donaldson who has made all over the world but most recently at Louis M Martini and there superb Napa Cabs. 2021 is a great Napa Vintage 96pt Parker Vintage, 97pts Wine Spectator for the vintage. The wine is made from 5 single vineyards that were selected from different parts of Napa to combine and create the finest quality Napa Cab, including the cooler Yountville and Coombsville regions, the warmer St. Helena, the mountainous Mount Veeder, and the valley floor Rutherford. I taste through RouteStock’s wines every year because when they get it right, they offer some of the finest value to be had. They hit a homerun with this Napa Cab. I strongly recommend!
