Michel Rolland Cabernet Sauvignon MR Napa Valley 2014  - First Bottle

Reviews

96 Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate -
His 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine is a prodigious effort and maybe the best he's made to date, even though one would expect that, like most wineries, the 2013 or 2015 would be the pinnacle of great Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. This beauty (14.9% alcohol) has an opaque purple color and a beautiful, sweet nose of blueberry liqueur intermixed with some blackberries, creme de cassis, licorice and graphite. It is full-bodied, has a velvety texture and fine tannins, a terrific length of close to 50 seconds, and a large-scaled, voluptuous mouthfeel that just goes on and on. Purity, richness and overall equilibrium are top-flight. Drink it now or drink it in 20-30 years, as it is that well-balanced and potentially long-lived.
96 Jeb Dunnuck -
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon from Bordeaux’s premier consultant is a serious, voluptuous, yet pure and even elegant Cabernet that makes the most of this terrific vintage. Made at the Alpha Omega winery, this purple/blue colored beauty offers sensational purity in its crème de cassis, graphite, scorched earth and licorice aromas and flavors. Big, rich, full-bodied and opulent, it nevertheless has terrific mid-palate depth, fine, sweet tannin and a finish that won’t quit. It’s sensational today, yet will keep for 2-3 decades.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

Say it with us. BECKSTOFFER TO KALON. BECKSTOFFER MISSOURI HOPPER, BECKSTOFFER DR. CRANE, AND STAGECOACH. Arguably the top vineyard sites in all of Napa. Made by the legendary Michel Rolland, the master winemaker, blender extraordinaire and enologist from Bordeaux. Michel is a "super-consultant" who has contributed to so many legendary wines -- Screaming Eagle, Harlan Estate, Sloan, and dozens more super-collectibles, and rockstar in his own right, Jean Hoefliger (The Debate, Alpha Omega, more…)! Talk about pedigree!!


Somehow, we scored a few cases of this polished gem, a masterful sexy beast -- rich, opulent, fine and deeply layered...a MUST for collectors and aficionados. SERIOUS bragging rights to have a few of these! Read the reviews below!


Only a few bottles to go around….good luck!

Talk about pedigree!! Also worth mentioning, these wines are made at Alpha Omega and production overseen by one of the most talented vintners we know, Jean Hoefliger, one of Michel's proteges. (We just got a few more of Jean's huge scoring The Debate 3-packs back in stock if you missed out!)

 

Somehow, we scored a few cases of this polished gem, a masterful sexy beast -- rich, opulent, fine and deeply layered...a MUST for collectors and aficionados.
