This tiny micro-winery is virtually unknown -- you will be one of the few in the world to actually have any (at a drop-dead stunning deal, we might add)!

In the early 1980s, the Jones family purchased a piece of land adjacent to the Meadowood Country Club, and opposite the renowned Napa Valley Reserve. In fact, this very fruit is often sold to the Napa Reserve to make their $400+ cabernets! It is also a stone's throw from Alejandro Bulgheroni's Estate vineyard and winery ($300), and D.R. Stephens Moose Valley vineyard, which fetches $170! In short, this cab was already drastically underpriced to begin with, but after we worked our magic, IT IS AN UNBELIEVABLE PRICE!

In 2002, they secured a winery license and dug a cave on the hill, which is part of the vineyard. Their winemaker, Dave Mahaffey, joined them then, updated the farming procedures and prepared the winery. The vineyard is farmed organically with no pesticides, and David’s non-interventionalist winemaking is evident here, perfected after more than 40 harvests in Napa Valley.

Put yourself in the mind of “Bordeaux in Napa Valley”. This wine has superb balance, it is not overdone or overextracted, it is just pure, unadulterated St. Helena cabernet and may very well be the finest cabernet deal to ever grace this site.

Tobacco, flowers, dusty black cherry, cassis, and some cocoa nibs are all so well proportioned you are going to be blown away at this price level. This has a Pauillac-like stony minerality and a super long finish to boot, and is entering a beautiful stage of its life, but still has plenty of life left, if you choose to cellar for 5 to as much as 15 years.

ONLY 56 CASES at this sensational price...while it lasts!

PAIRING IDEAS: You want to keep it simple with a wine like this, in our opinion. Last week we made a kind of “chopped steak”, basically a really good hamburger and then piled it up with assorted mushrooms and onions, sauteed with a bit of wine and thyme in the same pan. So good!

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: Napa Valley’s Bottlerock was announced today (yayy!!!) - so put on some GnR, Stevie Nicks, Foo Fighters or Miley (the headliners)! If we had to choose just one vibe for this wine, it's GnR's "Paradise City"! Find it on our Spotify playlist!

About The Producer

Palladian is a small private winery nestled in the Northern region of the Napa Valley. In the early 1980's the Jones family purchased a piece of land adjacent to the Meadowood Country Club and opposite the renowned Napa Valley Reserve. In 2002 they secured a winery license and dug a cave on the hill which is part of the vineyard. Their winemaker Dave Mahaffey joined them then, updated the farming procedures and prepared the winery. The estate is well known for its long stone wall with flowering roses in the approach. The Palladian temple on the label is also on the estate near the winery. Palladian architecture is all about perfect proportion and balance, so is our style of winemaking. All the components in the right balance. The vineyard is farmed organically, no pesticides. All of our vintages are estate grown and bottled.
