Tiny Allocation: Double-98pt Reserve Napa Cab

Dunnuck: A legit gorgeous wine

Wine Access

Dear Insider, When Maayan Koschitzky, Atelier Melkas Director of Winemaking, founded La Pelle Wines with the vineyard dream-team of Pete Richmond and Miguel Luna, the wine world had daunting expectations.La Pelle has surpassed them all. The label is one of the most in-demand in Napa Valley, and their phenomenal 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve shows why collectors cellar these wines alongside bottles that go for two and three times the price. It won double 98-point scores from Jeb Dunnuck and The Wine Independent: Dunnuck called it A legit gorgeous wine, while Lisa Perrotti-Brown simply called it Stunning!This full-bodied, richly textured Cabernet is sourced primarily from Alluvium Vineyard in St. Helena, with parcels from Oak Knoll and Coombsville vineyards, all farmed by Miguel and Petes renowned Silverado Farming Company. Since La Pelle wines are made in tiny quantities, this one is all but impossible to find unless youre on the mailing listor dining at St. Helenas PRESSwhere the 2017 and 2019 go for over $400. I secured just 20 cases for Wine Access members, at the best price in the nation. $185.Click here to secure your bottles.A few years ago, at the end of a long day, Wine Enthusiast Viticulturist of the Year Miguel Luna told his wife: If I ever have a wine label, Im going to call it The Freaking Shovel, although he didnt say freaking. As a partner in the elite Silverado Farming Company, he knew firsthand that making wine is incredibly hard work: Its putting vines in the ground and scooping grape skins out of the fermentersin other words, all shovels. So when Luna joined forces with Richmond and Koschitzky, they kept Miguels promise, opting for the French name La Pellea family-friendly version of his original idea. This wine could easily be mistaken for a new wine from Maayan or Miguels more high profile (and high-priced) clients. Its rich and bold yet elegant, clearly Napa Valleys best fruit made with Bordeaux-like sensibilities. There is blackberry jam, Morello cherry, graphite, Earl Grey tea, cocoa nibs, toasted oak, cedar, and bay leaves. The pronounced tannins will serve the long life of this wine, allowing it to age for 15-20 years with ease. This is a rare shot at La Pelles flagship bottle. Cellar it, enjoy it, and youll understand why collectors all over are making La Pelle wines so scarce.
