Store Takeover: Miner-Mania!!!

Listen to the Wine Spectator when they say “given Miner’s winemaking history in Napa Valley, the excellence of his wines should come as no surprise.”

What should come as a surprise is that we crammed the site with TEN astounding Miner Cabernet deals today, focusing heavily on their crown jewel, the Oakville label, with a couple more of the insanely popular Stagecoach Vineyard as well. These deep LIBRARY selections go back to an astoundingly youthful 2009, and span the decade thereafter.

And what’s better to lead with than their commemorative 20th Anniversary release at a price that brings a tear to our eye. In fact, all

You rarely see these wines available at any discount, let alone near 50% OFF.

But this is the real deal. And one of Miner Family’s finest efforts. And if you like your Cabs broad-shouldered, plush, inky, hedonistic - fully polished… this is squarely in your wheelhouse.

As a recent CellarTracker review noted, it’s “Absolutely amazing. Will age but perfect right now,” and we’re in full agreement. 2015 was a near-perfect vintage. And it’s only improved since its release over a decade ago.

Before Oracle, Dave Miner’s uncle owned the famous Oakville Ranch, and sadly passed away at a young age. But before he left, he asked Dave to take over. Oakville Ranch owned the property that Miner is on and was using it as a custom crush. When Dave took over, he decided to go all in on Miner Family Wines and transformed it into a state-of-the-art winery that remains a fixture today on the Silverado Trail.

In the glass, it’s alive and rocking with dried black fruits - black cherries and blackberries, dusted with cocoa, and drizzled with a little balsamic glaze. Perfectly integrated oak wraps it lovingly with a warm toastiness. Plush, expansive, and rich, and drinking prime right now and for years to come.

Honest winemaking, from a family-owned winery, is cellared perfectly in their underground caves. And heading to your doorstep - if you move quick enough!
