"This Napa Valley Cabernet delivers the goods big time...flat-out delicious." - Antonio Galloni

"A smoking value ... California needs more gems like this one, which will evolve easily for 10-12 years" - Jeb Dunnuck

If there is ONE bottle of Napa Cabernet to buy in the $50-$100 range this year ... it's this one as it crushes anything else you will buy in this range or in many cases, even higher!

The word is out and the 2021 Napa Cabs will be in huge demand! One of the best vintages in the last decade, this vintage will have you thinking it's 1997, 2001 or 2012 all over again!

The 2021 Emerson Brown Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is remarkable for the $$$, and is, hands down, better than Stags Leap Artemis, Joseph Phelps, Silver Oak Alex, Chappellet Signature and many other of the big brands.

Our Napa Catalog continues to increase and with it, comes the addition of Emerson Brown, one of the most exciting projects in Napa and while the wines have been on the market for over a decade, their limited production and distribution make them tricky to find.

These are EXACTLY the kinds of wines we look for when we travel.

Keith Emerson is the winemaker here. He is one of the few winemakers who excels at crafting both Bordeaux and Burgundian varieties. Keith produces wines from Napa, Sonoma, Oregon and Santa Cruz. Since 2005, he has focused his attention on his position as Director of Winemaking for Napa's Vineyard 29.

Our VP had a chance to visit late last summer and taste the 2021 Napa Cabernet ... and it was simply spectacular. At the time of the tasting, there was no press as of yet but since then, Wine Enthusiast, Antonio Galloni and Jeb Dunnuck tasted and delivered the following exceptional reviews!

"Indulgent blueberries, deep blackberries and subtle, rich oak accents make this wine concentrated, luxurious and mouthcoating. Velvety tannins wrap around the relaxed, almost-sweet fruits and enticing toast, baking spice and mint accents. Best from 2025–2033. -JG" - 93 Points Wine Enthusiast

"A smoking value, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is all varietal that saw 18 months in 40% new barrels. It has lots of classic cassis, spice, leather, and some dried flower-like nuances as well as medium to full-bodied richness and depth on the palate, with velvety tannins. California needs more gems like this one, which will evolve easily for 10-12 years." - 92 Points Jeb Dunnuck

"Dark, vibrant and punchy, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is fabulous. Black cherry, plum, new leather, spice and mocha are beautifully delineated. This Napa Valley Cabernet delivers the goods big time. Vineyard sites are Cardenas, Renteria 360 and Winner. This is flat-out delicious." - 91 Points Antonio Galloni, Vinous
