Even Our Lawyers Were Impressed
The Oakville AVAdescribed by Robert Parker as the tenderloin of Napa Valleyis home to some of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards and producers on earth. Cabernet from Oakville is rare under $100, near-impossible to find at $50and a UNICORN at $36. Rich, concentrated, shrouded in NDA-protected secrecy, and produced in a tiny 10-barrel quantity, we doubt the 2017 Sola Provus will last the day.

The Tenderloin of Napa Valley
Robert Parker never hid his admiration for Oakville.
Tasting that corridor, he wrote, going from the east-side hills, where you have some great wineries, right through the valley floor and up to the Mayacamas Mountains, where Harlan is, I really see that as the tenderloin of Napa Valley. The wines there just have an extra dimension, an extra complexity and a degree of richness.
Nowadays that extra dimension comes with an astronomical price tag. Of the 47 members of the Oakville Winegrowers Association, we counted EIGHT that offer an Oakville Cabernet under $100. Under $50? Almost none.
Thats what makes the 2017 Sola Provus Oakville Cabernet such an insane rarity: Supple and concentrated, with heady aromas of ripe blackberries, chocolate-covered cherries, cracked graphite, cinnamon, cloves, and violetspeople simply dont sell Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon for $36. Its nearly unheard of.
We wish we could tell you which producer in Oakville made todays wine, but their identity is locked away in an ironclad NDAeven our lawyers were impressed with the level of secrecy. Because we cant drop names, the only proof of this wines quality is in the bottleand it passed our discerning tasting panel with flying colors.
Big and powerful yet beautifully proportioned, this is the kind of Cabernet that savvy Napa lovers stack away by the case, and at just $34 per bottle on case-buys, this crowd-pleaser promises to be one of the best bargains youll see from the 2017 Napa vintage. Its also likely to disappear by the end of the day.

Wine Access Tasting Note
Bright ruby in appearance, with a concentrated core. Plentiful, rich aromas of ripe blackberries, chocolate-covered cherries, cracked graphite, cinnamon, cloves, and violets swirl out of the glass. Perfect Oakville character on the palate: Its powerful and bold, with ripe tannins and juicy acidity paired with flavors of fresh black raspberries, Damson plums, vanilla bean, black tea, Havana cigar, tart red currant, and rose petals. A lengthy, pleasant finish that will pair perfectly with Wagyu ribeye, roasted red beets, or lamb chops. Drink now2031.
