PORTHOS INSIDER SCOOP: DON’T MISS THIS ‘ONE TIME ONLY’ special production of an “undervalued” Cabernet from famed winemaker David Ramey! Ramey normally only produces vineyard designate Cabernets selling for $90 - $135/bottle + ratings 95+ from Robert Parker and the Wine Spectator. However, as a testament to the quantity and quality of the 2005 vintage Ramey produced a special “Napa” appellation designate for the first (and maybe last!) time ever available for less than $50!
TASTES? “Smooth, rich and fleshy, this is a notably complex and concentrated youngster, with a tasty core of ripe currant, black cherry, cedar, olive and sage notes that are well-focused, ending with a complex aftertaste. This is a delicious Cabernet blend that is delicious now (after decanting) or anytime through 2012. This wine is a leading candidate for the best ‘bargain’ Napa Cabernet we’ve ever featured!” Hal Oates, Porthos.com
