Mission Codename CellarStocker#2
9:42am UPDATE: Sold out! Still a few other releases available here and here
Moving right along we kick off hour two with wine number two - an exceptionally rare offering from an exciting new project.
Did you miss the Schrader? Blink and you might miss this one too.
We stay in To Kalon to bring you the HOTTEST new project to hit this historic vineyard since…1868 maybe?
Like Spongebob and Squarepants, milk and cookies, or mango and shrimp paste - when you combine Andy Erickson and To Kalon Vineyard the result is nothing short of greatness.
These are the kinds of wine you enjoy in a smoking jacket on a plush leather Eames lounger next to a crackling fireplace. The pedigree is unmatched. Andy Erickson, the guy behind Harlan Estate for many years, along with Staglin Family and Favia, Leviathan, and yes Screaming Eagle.
Sourced from the most famous vineyard in Napa - To Kalon. This legendary site was originally planted by H.W. Crabb and named “To Kalon” after the Greek expression for “Highest Beauty”.
This wine bears the same name: “Highest Beauty” for exactly that same reason its true meaning implies.
It really IS.
And we have it at the LOWEST price in the world. The few places that even have some are all in the $200-400 range.
Only 24 bottles are available - sorry but that’s all we were allocated. If you made it this far, here’s a little secret - two more wines are made under this hot new project, and you can find both here in the Store although we have even less of those to share.
As Worth magazine wrote “The holidays, and winter in general, are a great time to try out those wines you’ve been saving for special occasions - or that you haven’t saved but would if you weren’t so impatient to try them. If you live in a cold weather climate, as I do, it feels like the perfect time to light a fire, cook a steak and drink something exceptional… Cellar it for years to come, or drink now. Decisions, decisions… Whichever choice you make, you can’t lose.”
Be amongst the lucky few to experience a legend reincarnated.
