Without a doubt, Carl Roy is one of the best deals in Napa. we have inside knowledge about where the grapes are sourced from for this amazing red blend of 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Petit Verdot. The grapes come from multiple vineyards, but from a single source. We cannot reveal where exactly, but, it comes from vineyards that have recieved several allocades, including a 95 point score from Vinous, and that wine costs ALOT more money - approximately $165 per bottle! Here you get the same grapes but for a fraction of the price! This is an absolute steal.

The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. Concentrated, plush, velvety and silky on the palate with complex black fruit including cassis & black plum, as well as cedar and chocolate. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.

It’s a blend of all five Bordeaux varieties harvested throughout the second half of September, and spent 18 months in French oak, with plenty of new wood (not sure how much), but it is well integrated and a lovely compliment to the wine’s deep, dark and solid fruit. 

Some of the fruit comes from a vineyard in the heart of the legendary Rutherford appellation, with wonderful sun exposure that creates powerful, luscious Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot.

The other component comes from a vineyard atop the Vaca Mountains south of Pritchard Hill where the rocky, volcanic terroir of the Stagecoach Vineyard produces intense Merlot and Cabernet Franc with amazing depth and structure.

This has an incredible nose right out of the gate, bringing the character of this outstanding vintage with deep concentration, layered dark fruits, and ripe, supple tannins. A classic Napa Valley wine, deep ruby/purple hue, and notes of black currant, cedar, earth and mocha, along with a whiff of French oak.Together they are magic!
