Be quick, Operative!

Today’s Romeo Vineyards 2006 Sempre Vive Napa Valley Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon is a fantastic Cab that will likely sell out well before midnight (California Wine Country Time).

Sempre Vive wines have proven to be among our most popular - and, at 60% off, this is an offer that most Operatives will find difficult to resist.

Most old vine wines that are sold in the US are Zinfandel. Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon is more of a rarity. Old vines produce fewer grapes than young ones and those grapes that do grow on these vines impart a very distinctive character - and a real sense of terroir.

A wonderfully balanced nose, with equal parts dark fruit, earth, and spice. Stewed plum and black cherry mingle with earthy notes of a fresh forest floor and an aged cigar box, rounded out by dark chocolate, sage, and baking spices.

On the palate, this wine is quite refined, with subtle dark fruit flavors of blackberry and plum delicately laid overtop hints of espresso bean, tobacco leaf, fresh berry bramble, rhubarb, and black pepper spice.

Today’s wine is a delicious, elegant, complex and ready to drink delight; we recommend that you decant in order to unleash its full potential. Drink now through 2020. This wine still has plenty of life left in it!
