Started by Rombauer back in the 80's Napa Cellars is now owned by the Trinchero Family Estate.
The excellent 2017 vintage brought beautifully ripe, complex grapes throughout Napa Valley. This red wine has pleasant berries, orange peel and hints of hazelnut for a complete medium finish.
Follow in the foot steps of founder Dave Phinney in his unconventional approach to wine that inevitably gained The Prisoner Wine Company the fan following it has now. Using the same perfected formulas and passionate growers as the start. The unmistakable velvety flavors of anise, dark cocoa powder, black cherry, and roasted pecans lead to the lush tannins and dense finish. If the name of the winery didn't pique your interest, I don't know what will.
Back in the 1960s, Napa Valley was the Wild West of winemaking regions and the Trefethens were just crazy enough to be pioneers. Their reds in particular are critically acclaimed, classic, big, balanced wines, still made by three generations of Trefethen family members, and the Double T is a blend of the best estate fruit that doesn't make it into the main bottling — making this bottle an incredible bargain. Like, major bang-for-your-buck red. It's foggy day wine from foggy vineyards that recently survived an earthquake. You can taste a little of that marine air rolling in from the Pacific, putting a little salt in your soul and warming the chill in your bones. Stock up while you can!
You're free spirits who met at a live show or festival, and regularly make each other mixtapes — you even share a Spotify channel. Let your analog flag fly with this bohemian California red blend made by Zac Brown — yes, that one — who's just as passionate about California winemaking and bringing people together over food and music as he is about his band. Uncage this bottle, made in collaboration with nature- and music-loving winemaker John Killebrew, and dig in the crates for your favorite vinyl while cooking up something Pinteresting in the kitchen — by yourselves on date night in or with a bunch of friends over. This wine is a stunning value to stock by the case!
