The Rookie Wins the Cy Young Award

Technically, the reviews publication date is a month away. But the shock waves are hitting right now. Thats because Nottingham Cellars The Pivot Cabernet earned a stunning 96-point score from Wine Enthusiast, which puts it at the pinnacle of the magazines 2021 Napa Cabernet ratings. Their company at the top? Shafer One Point Five and TOR. At the $125 winery price, this bottle is right in line with the competition from the aforementioned icons. But today weve got an exclusive at a price that you will not believe: just $70, down to $65 when you buy six. The #1 Cabernet of the vintage for $65? A bargain like this wont come again for years. With this wine, Nottingham proprietor Collin Cranor and his team did the equivalent of winning the Cy Young Award in their rookie season. Thats because Nottingham is a true Napa Valley newcomer. Founded in 2009, they have carved out a great niche in the Livermore Valley, where theyre based. But after about a decade of success at home, they decided to make a change, to get out of their comfort zoneto pivot, so to speak. So they took their talents north and west to Napa Valley to test them out on a bigger stage. Out-of-town winemakers making their first foray into the Napa Valley big leaguesyoud assume theyd need a good half-decade to get their feet under them, to make connections, to hit their stride. Theyd improve slowly, incrementally, and after maybe five or ten years steeped in Napa Valley, theyd start seeing some real success. Not quite.These new arrivals have gone straight to the top with this wine. Its no accident, given the fantastic provenance: The wine is made from Clone 7 Cabernet grown on the Oakview Vineyard in Oakville, which is a partnership between two eminent families, the Sangiacomos and the Nords. Lent a touch of aromatics by Cabernet Franc and some heft and density by Petit Verdot, this is top-shelf Napa Valley Cabernet, without a doubt. You simply do not get a chance to drink the best of Napa Valley for anywhere near this price. We recommend you stock up, because we see a sell-out coming.

Wine Access Tasting Note

The glass uncovers a deep and concentrated dark ruby color at the core, with a bright shine. The aromas are dominated by layers of plum, cassis, and black cherry, all adorned with purple florals, dark chocolate, and licorice. The mouthfeel is dense and lively, with well-knit tannins that resolve in a long-lasting finish. Lush and powerful, with all the notes you expect from a top-tier Oakville Cabernet. Drink now2030.
