It comes from legendary ones.

The labels parent estate doesnt work with anything less. Crafted in the outstanding 2019 vintage, Sling & Spear Cab hails from vineyards in Oakville, Rutherford, Howell Mountain, and St. Helenasites whose grapes yield wines that rarely go for two-digit prices.

That makes this wine worth every penny of its $125 SRP. Today, weve got an exclusive allocation for Wine Access members at just $45, down to $40 per bottle on cases, an absurd price for a Napa Cabernet of this caliber. Our members agreed, awarding this wine a 4.3-star rating that puts it in the ranks of some of Californias absolute iconsand our price is even better than last time!

And the opulence? That comes from three Cabernet Sauvignon clones that compose some of the Valleys best (and priciest) bottles: clones 337, 4, and 6the same ones planted at To Kalon.

The masterminds behind Sling & Spear have earned a slew of critical praise, including placement on Wine & Spirits Best US Cabernets and Blends list. But after years of selling high-priced collectors items, this Cab showcases their prestigious vineyard sourceswithout the prohibitive cost.

Hence the name. The wine is a ruby-hued David (Sling), standing for bottle prices that dont zoom into the stratosphere. His foes: a host of costly Goliaths (Spear)high-caliber wines, to be sure, but ones that cant outmatch Sling and Spears incredible quality, power, and finesse.

The winery had heard about a few of our blockbuster Napa Cab sellouts, and they knew their wine would make a killing. Cue our lunch with the winemaker at Napas Angle. Over duck rillettes, steak tartare, and generous pours of this robust, sultry 2019, we locked in the exclusive at an unbelievable discount.

Its one of the best Cabernet deals weve seen in a while (and we see quite a few). Some of the Valleys top terroir, at this price? Our cases wont last long.
