Meteor Cabernet Sauvignon Special Family Reserve 2013  - First Bottle

Reviews

98 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Family Reserve has a dense, opaque, black/purple color, enormous extract and massive fruit, full-bodied power and stunning purity and depth. Readers are often too young to remember what some of the great classics of the late 1960s and 1970s tasted like, particularly the Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignons of 1968-1974. Well, I bought those wines, and tasting these Meteor Vineyard wines reminded me of their super-richness and almost overwhelming extract and power. This is another great achievement, but a real connoisseur's wine in that it's going to take 8-10 years to come around and last 30-40 years, if not longer.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
We love the Mayacamas reference here, as we put Mayacamas up in the very top of Napa’s all-time greats. Read the review from Robert Parker himself: “The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Family Reserve has a dense, opaque, black/purple color, enormous extract and massive fruit, full-bodied power and stunning purity and depth.

Meteor is on a roll these days -- a 3-pack is a definite must for Cabernet collectors. A crazy deal when you buy 3...$750 with free shipping in a beautiful wood 3-pack box! We culled just ten 3-packs from Meteor's library for this sweet little offer, of which only 100 cases were produced!

Use the Internet? Meteor owner Barry Schuler is considered one of the early “fathers” of the Web as we know it today -- he was, among other things, the CEO of America Online back in the day. As an “Internet Elder”, he channels his energy into world-class cabernet now. The Special Family Reserve is a BEAST. A sexy beast! A Cabernet to drink with your kids when they turn 21! Or 41! Most people don't know, but Meteor sells grapes to the likes of Vineyard 29, Arietta, Favia, DuMOL and Lail (not a bad roster!), and they keep the best blocks for themselves! The Family Reserve is the four best barrels in their cellar, from a vintage that will go down as one of the all-time great Napa Cab vintages. 

Please let us know what we can do for you --- first come, first served…! All orders of 3 bottles will include the wood box and ship for free!
