2019 Tether Cabernet

2019 Tether Cabernet The 2019 Tether Cabernet Sauvignon explodes from the glass with abundant aromas of crème de cassis, huckleberry compote and blackberries. The intense dark fruits are followed up by layers of scorched earth, chocolate, spice box, crushed rock and toasty oak. The wine coats the palate with fantastic opulence and silkiness. This wine is full-bodied and dense with great richness and length on the finish.

​This wine is a must, a new project and totally under-valued for what’s in the bottle. The wine is the 2019 Tether Cabernet. This is a new project put together by Kimberly Jones. Kimberly is the Wine Broker for Cult Napa Cabs. Realm, Scarecrow, Kongsgaard, Maybach, Ovid. What do these three- and four-digit luxury names have in common? They’re all represented by Kimberly Jones and many, many more. As a trusted client to many elite superstar labels, Kimberly has gained access to some of the best sites and brightest talents in California. And it’s not by accident either: The birth of her private label, Tether, was only possible through years of building blue-chip connections and the high-dollar fruit she sources for today’s wine is a direct result of these relationships.

Robert Parker commented on Jones: “As an admirer of the diversity and quality of California’s wines, and with nearly 37 years of experience tasting and visiting the state’s viticultural regions, wine-broker Kimberly Jones has consistently demonstrated an incredible talent for representing many of the best producers. With her skilled palate, a limitless enthusiasm, and insatiable curiosity, she has assembled a portfolio of wines that is breath-taking in its diversity, value, and exquisite quality.”

This wine has been sourced from top secret vineyards and crafted into a spectacular Napa Cab. In a region where real estate is cosmically high and price-to-quality examples are few and far between, this wine delivers rare pedigree – we can’t reveal the details, but trust us when we say this wine should demand a much higher price tag. Kimberly chose her talented friend Anna Monticelli to make the wine. UC Davis trained and worked harvests at Cheval Blanc. She was assistant Winemaker at Bryant and Winemaker at Pina. Performs like a three-figure superstar for under $50. From the great 2019 vintage, Parkers 2nd highest rated vintage ever. For all of you that are drinking Caymus at $80 to $100 a bottle. This wine kills it at $49.99.
