A best buy in Napa Cabernet                          One of the best Napa Cabs under $40 we've found this year!  2017 is an incredible vintage in Napa that winemakers are describing as a dream vintage with near perfect growing conditions. Understandably, the new Stack House Cabernet is a level above the previous vintages. If you’re looking for a high-quality Napa Valley Cabernet that’s priced for everyday enjoyment, grab a few cases of this one. 91 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "One of the top values in this report is the Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley from Stack House. This beauty is 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Malbec, 6% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, all aged 18 months in 40% new oak. The plum/ruby-colored effort boasts a ripe, rounded, sexy style as well as medium-bodied richness and depth, classic dark fruits and spice, no hard edges, and a clean finish. With sweet tannins and terrific balance, it will keep for upwards of a decade. This wine is made by the incredibly talented Anna Monticelli and it’s the real deal." *#2 Wine Value of 2016* -  Robert Parker:  "This Cabernet Sauvignon Stack House is an elegant sleeper selection and a terrific value from Napa Valley. This blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot and Merlot was aged in two-thirds new French oak for almost two years prior to bottling. Finesse style black and red currants compete with some tobacco leaf and loamy soil undertones in a medium-bodied, deliciously fruity, sexy style that offers immediate drinkability and can actually age decently for up to 7-8 years." Stack House Cabernet is Made by husband and wife team Anna & Mario Monticelli. Anna’s experience includes work as former assistant winemaker at Bryant Family and winemaker at Piña. Her husband Mario has worked alongside legendary winemaker Philippe Melka at Quintessa, Hundred Acre, Vineyard 29, Melka and Lail.
