Each of these bottles solo usually retails WELL above that mark – so with free shipping, consider this our fantastic Friday gift to you. Happy weekend!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt nearly 2,100 feet above the valley floor, the Spring Mountain terrain is steep, wild, and uncompromising – and Cain Five is every bit its reflection. Winemaker Chris Howell has spent over three decades here channeling the mountain’s raw energy into one of Napa’s most singular Bordeaux blends, drawing on a pedigree that runs through Chateau Mouton Rothschild, the legendary André Tchelistcheff, and some of Spain’s finest cellars. This wine plays by its own rules, and critics, collectors, and connoisseurs have taken notice for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEndlessly complex, the Cain Five formula takes five grapes – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot – from one estate, and carries the classic Bordeaux tradition. But what comes out of this mountain is entirely its own thing… savory, structured, hauntingly aromatic, and designed for the long haul. The seven-person farming crew that tends these terraced blocks has been at it for years, coaxing something truly, distinctly special out of thin soils and extreme exposures that shows in every bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA vertical is one of the best and most thrilling ways to experience this grand wine, and this particular threefer lets you taste Cain Five across three awesome back-to-back library vintages: 2007, 2008, and 2009. With nearly two decades of bottle age on them, these wines are layered, complex, expressive, and ready to rock ‘n’ roll. The 2007 earned 97 points, while the 2008 and 2009 each earned 96s, and they’re all in a primo drinking spot that would be a killer time to open among friends… just sayin’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree-packs of Cain at this price never happen, especially when they come straight from the winery itself – and with such a wicked-limited release, we don’t expect it to last! The full vertical usually retails for $795, but it’s yours now for just $199 – with free shipping. Go ahead and get after it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e(P.S. Borrow or get your Ah-So or Durand opener ready for these somewhat fragile, aged corks, and give the wines a solid decant for 1-2 hours prior to enjoying!)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"First Bottle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54135738892585,"sku":"2000648","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/2706\/8457\/files\/CainVineyardWineryRedBlendCainFiveSpringMountainDistrictNapaValley3-PackVertical_07-08-09__2000648_FB_GroupShot.jpg?v=1792077422","url":"https:\/\/firstbottlewines.com\/products\/cain-vineyard-winery-red-blend-cain-five-spring-mountain-district-napa-valley-3-pack-vertical-07-08-09","provider":"First Bottle Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
