Buy a bottle for $66, and you may get fantastic upgrades (valued up to $1,200!). Buy more bottles for guaranteed upgrades. This is what you buy for $66:
2015 Grounded Wine Co. Steady State Napa Valley Red Wine 750ML for $66/bottle but only 1.30% of the offer, ie 98%+ are UPGRADES!!
Accolades:
91 pts.-Wine Enthusiast: “The debut of Napa native winemaker and entrepreneur Josh Phelps' own label, this is a blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. It delivers tremendous value for the quality, a mix of chocolate-covered cherry, blueberry and vanilla cola wrapped in smooth, seductive layers of robust elegance. Tobacco, pencil shavings and cigar box add alluring seasoning.”
Winemaker Notes: If a system is in a steady state, then the recently observed behavior of the system will continue into the future. Steady State pays homage to growing up in the Napa Valley and learning from its traditions. Also, being ready to disrupt them.
This is what you might be upgraded to:
1998 Chateau Cheval Blanc St. Emilion Red Blend 750ML valued at $1,200/bottle at the winery (only 0.22% of the offered bottles)
Accolades:
100 pts.- James Suckling: "This structured and powerful red is finally coming out its sleep. It shows intense aromas of dried fruits, mushrooms, forest floor and berries. It's full-bodied, very dense and velvety, and has an outstanding, ripe and richly fruity finish. A wine that harkens back to the legendary 1947 Cheval-Blanc. Drink or hold."
98 pts.- Wine Spectator: "Aromas of blueberry, sweet tobacco, leather and pipe tobacco turning to raisins and Christmas cake. What a wine. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a very well-integrated palate. Dark color. A big and powerful wine still. Blockbuster. Massive. Just a baby.—'88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Best after 2013."
96 pts.- Robert Parker: "I seriously underestimated this wine, as I have often tended to do with Cheval Blanc. A potentially immortal example that has gained significant weight since it has been bottled, this blend of 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot has a saturated purple color and a glorious nose of menthol, plums, mulberries, new saddle leather, cocoa, and vanilla. Remarkably fuller-bodied than I ever remembered it young, with an amazingly seamless texture and tremendous concentration and extract, this full-bodied yet gorgeously pure and elegant wine is impeccably balanced and certainly one of the all-time great Cheval Blancs. If it continues to improve as much as it has over the last three years since bottling, this wine will certainly rival the 2000, 1990, and 1982.”
Tasting Notes:
An intense, deep color, black in the middle with purple glints on the rim. A powerful nose. Rich with luxuriant fruit and hints of eucalyptus and bay leaves. The Palate develops beautifully with finesse and complexity and very coated tannins that are in no way aggressive. Probably the greatest Cheval Blanc of the second half of the 20th century. To lay down a long time.
Or perhaps upgraded this bottle?
2014 Cliff Lede Vineyards Poetry Stag's Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 750ML valued at $300/bottle at the winery (only 1.30% of the offered bottles)
Accolades:
95 pts.- Robert Parker: “Always one of the stars of Napa is Cliff Lede’s Cabernet Sauvignon Poetry and the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Poetry is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot. Never the biggest wine made by Cliff Lede, this is an elegant, classic Stags Leap example with finesse allied to beautifully pure power and balance. Deep and rich and possibly, at this stage, less expressive than some of its siblings, it is simply loaded and poised for a brilliant future. Consumers should give this 4-5 years of bottle age and drink it over the following 25-30 years.”
Other bottles are upgrades valued between $70 to $160/bottle! This is an amazing offer!
Good luck if participating!
