Martellotto Cabernet Sauvignon Kind of Noir Napa Valley 2023

This outrageously satisfying Cab is “dipped in chocolaty decadence” per Decanter’s 95 point review. And, it’s from the 2023 harvest, which critic Karen MacNeil calls “as perfect as any Napa vintage in living memory.” What more do you need to know? Ah – 60% off and shipping included on THREE or more!

“Kind of Noir gives you all the power, all the depth, and all the Napa magic you expect, without the sky-high price tag,” says founder-winemaker Greg Martellotto. Amen, yes it does! We love that Greg is bound and determined to offer Napa luxury for well under the usual $150+. And quite pleased we’re able to do even better: $37.95 per bottle instead of $95! Stellar price, stellar wine. Jonathan, take it away…

“From Greg Martellotto comes this utterly seductive, lavishly layered Cabernet, opulently scented and framed by smoky, toasty French oak nuances that highlight rich, velvety blueberry fruit. Full-bodied, the tannins soar across the palate, dipped in chocolaty decadence, while crushed espresso beans fuel the lavish finish. A potpourri of violets and blue floral notes adds intrigue. This is a hedonistic wine best enjoyed now and over the next five to seven years.” – 95 points, Jonathan Cristaldi for Decanter

Despite its youth, this multi-vineyard powerhouse is ready to pop open and thrill everyone who likes a big, deft dose of toasty oak and bold, black fruit. Dusty tannins and poised acid round out the mocha-berry explosion, and a Syrah-like smoked meat note keeps building the seduction. The structure is great, the Napa richness is all there. You cannot have too many 2023s in your collection, and the piping-fresh 95 point score and 60% savings make this one a must.
