The 2022 Fortune 1621 Cabernet Sauvignon is a classically-styled Napa Cab at a steal of a price. Made by Brian Mox, one of the top winemakers in the Valley, this offers up ripe and opulent notes that will have you and your friends oohing and awing.
I'm a sucker for big, toasty, and decadent Napa Cab, and that's exactly what you get here. You just don't have to pay that much for it! Most of the fruit comes from the Oak Knoll District, and Brian previously made wines for Lewis Cellars and Etude. I'd happily put this up against Napa Cabs that cost 2 to 3 times the price, and it would perform quite well.
We've got 14 cases (168 bottles) available at deal pricing. If you want a whopper of a Cab for your holiday standing rib roasts, this would do the trick.

Drinks like $50-$75 Napa Cab, I'm not kidding. - Josh Spurling
It's back, and it's better than ever! Many of you will remember the joys of the 2019 Fortune 1621 Cab, and I can assure you that one sniff and sip of the '22 will bring back those glorious memories. I could easily just run this at regular price and make more margin, but when I buy a lot, I get into a "dealing mood," as we've only got 1,500 square feet to work with. We are a retailer, not a museum : )
More importantly, this is a Cab that offers immediate gratification. Ripe, rich, round, and opulent, it soars out of the glass with classic Napa Valley aromas of toasted oak, vanilla, mocha, dark berry preserves, nicely balanced acidity, and fine-grained tannins. It really does offer up top-shelf notes at a middle-shelf price, AND you don't have to wait a decade for it to show its best.
Fortune 1621 is the "second wine" from boutique, family owned and operated Darms Lane Winery. All of their Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards are in the Oak Knoll district, not far from the vineyards of Trefethen and Laird Family. As I said earlier, the winery hired the highly-talented Brian Mox to make their wines, and Mox is great at coaxing out deep, rich, and opulent flavors in the Cabs he makes.
A grand and lavish Napa Cab for sure, this will do wonderful things with your Christmas beef or lamb dishes, but no food is required. The round and soft texture makes it perfect for sipping with or without food.
