Italics Winegrowers Endure Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Coombsville Napa Valley 2019
Cabernet Sauvignon | US
Italics is Coombsville elite, tucked right next to Julien Fayard’s Covert Estate. This small-production, best of the best cabernet sauvignon from their estate’s best blocks – and aged for longer in their most expensive barrels – sold at the winery for $175. We made one of our all-time Invino deals to get that price down to just $74.95! The winery sold to nearby Shadybrook Estate in 2022, so this is a last-of-its-kind sort of deal! If big, flashy, seductively smooth, and simply top-notch Napa cab is your quest…look no further!
The cool site of Coombsville gives brightness, floral, and mineral anchors to temper the decadent lavishness of pure berry fruits and spicy, chocolatey oak notes. Kirsch and plum, raspberry, blackberry, dark chocolate, black pepper, bay laurel, volcanic rock...this beauty has it ALL! This brilliantly showcases the spectacular 2019 vintage – with a balance between bright and alluring friendliness and deep, rich concentration and structure. The “Endure” is so named for being aged for a bit longer in oak than their other estate cabernets, so it comes in a bit richer, with softly rounded edges and a warm spiced mocha finish. This Napa cab will stun you now, but effortlessly continue to impress for decades to come!
Estate-grown Napa cab at OVER 57% OFF will always catch our eye – and a flattering 93 POINTS from Decanter certainly adds to its appeal! Marbue Marke is the winemaker here – originally from Freetown, Sierra Leone, he was a 15-year-old phenom in the pre-med program at UC Davis until he learned of a potential issue – he tends to faint upon seeing blood...so...he opted for a degree in winemaking, instead! Good thing, for us, it seems! For years he was the man behind the madness that is Caldwell Winery – guiding the winemaking program underneath one of Napa’s foremost rapscallions – John F@*!#ing Caldwell (seriously, that’s how John refers to himself). If you’ve ever had Caldwell wines, you have an idea of where this is going...BIG, rich, silky, and certainly NOT-FOR-THE-SHY style wines that nevertheless maintain a highly polished, refined elegance. $100 OFF!! Go get ‘em, cab lovers!
About the Producer
Italics Winegrowers was founded by Mike Martin from Texas; his family produce business began with a small 20-acre grapefruit orchard in the south part of the state. Over time they became one of the largest distributors of produce in the state of Texas (including citrus, onions and melons). By the time they sold their company, Rio Queen Citrus, Inc. in 2012, they owned over 7,000 acres. At the time of the sale, patriarch of the family, Ken Martin was the chairman of the company (Ken passed away August 7th, 2019) and Mike Martin was their president.
