Trujillo Cabernet Henry Brothers Vineyard Reserve 2016

Only 78 Cases Made. Very Hard To Get. Howell Mountain Greatness

Possibly Napa’s Greatest Vintage Ever, 2016.

Three reasons why you should buy this wine. One: The 2016 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon vintage is widely considered to be an excellent vintage, often described as one of the best in recent Napa Valley history, with critics praising its complexity, balance, and beautiful fruit character; many consider it a top choice for aging potential due to its structure and quality. The vintage received 98pts by Wine Spectator and 98pts by Parker, the highest he has ever rated a Napa Cab vintage. Two: The wine is made by top Napa Cab winemaker Mike Trujillo. Many of you will know Karl Lawrence Cabs which was Trujillo. Also Herb Lamb Vineyards and started out as winemaker at Sequoia Grove. He trained under legends like Andre Tchelistcheff, Tony Soter and Jim Allen. He makes classic Napa Valley Cabernet with an “old-school” edge — not sweet, not over-oaked — the wines are about structure and balance but with plenty of fruit and flesh. Three: The wine comes from a great vineyard. The Henry Brothers vineyard is located in the renowned Howell Mountain appellation at an elevation of 1,930 feet. Rich volcanic soils with gentle rolling terrain produces some amazing wine grapes. Trujillo – Mike’s eponymous brand after selling Karl Lawrence focuses on small lots of the finest Cabernet from great single vineyards. Henry Brothers Vineyard is sold to but a tiny handful of grateful vignerons. Michael’s history with this vineyard gives him access to the finest grapes from  this excellent site. In a vintage like 2016, this is a must-have!! The production of the 2016 Trujillo Cabernet Sauvignon Henry Brothers Vineyard Reserve is so small (only 78 cases were made) it’s a true miracle we got any to sell. Our price is strong, a true artisanal Cult Napa Cab. Delicious now but with the greatness of the vintage, will age gracefully and improve in your cellar for many years to come.
