One of the Biggest Deals of the Year
2019 Scarlett "Reserve - McGah Family Vineyard" Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon (Elsewhere $150) ($59.95)
"For anyone seeking bold, powerful, full-throttle Napa Cabernet at a price that looks like we're back in 1999... you've found it! This is one of the biggest deals of the year so far, and I'm still pinching myself a little to check that it's real! The Scarlett Reserve Cabernet comes from the McGah family's incredible estate located in southern Rutherford, near the Oakville border. This stunning estate, just off the Silverado Trail, is surrounded on three sides by Beckstoffer's legendary George III Vineyard (a property originally planted by BV founder Georges de Latour in 1928). This is absolutely prime dirt for growing world-class Cabernet, and that's exactly what fills this bottle.
The McGah style is not for the faint of heart; this wine is seriously intense, a powerful wine with massive fruit concentration, lashings of luxurious oak spices, warm dusty earth notes, new leather, and graphite. The reserve bottling gets the very best blocks and very best barrels selected for their explosive flavors and voluptuous texture. At almost $100 off, this is without a doubt one of the best offers in our entire inventory. With 10 years of great drinking ahead of it, don't come up short on this one; it's a home run."
-Ryan Woodhouse, K&L Domestic Wine Buyer

Jeb Dunnuck:
"The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve has slightly deeper notes of blackcurrants, mulberries, chocolate, toasted spice, and flowery incense. With full-bodied richness, a rounded, expansive texture, beautiful tannins, and a great finish, this more opulent, layered, sexy wine is also going to benefit from short-term bottle age and keep for two decades.
