Last time we offered a Cab from this winery, it sold out within 45 minutes!  The Vice is a Napa Valley luxury wine brand made in small batches.  It's helmed by master sommelier Malek Amrani and winemaker Vance Rose, a veteran of classic Napa properties like Donum and Ehlers Estate.  At Vice everything is done by hand by the founders.  They craft each batch from hand selected vineyards that best express the varietal and the region that it comes from.  They believe in providing the best quality for the best value and that the best wines aren't the most expensive ones.  Vice is a brand that over-delivers in that regard.  They bring that Napa Valley signature style - big, lush, and opulent - at a can't-beat price.  Vice wines have all the hallmarks of a three-digit, blue chip bottle for a premium deal.  Their Cabernets easily fit in with those wines that pull down 96 points and way over $100.  The 2019 The Vice Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon shows why Oakville holds its own throne in the kingdom of Napa Valley.  This Cabernet is rich, expressive and supple.  It has notes of dark cherries, orange zest, lemons, mint, sage, cassis and plum puree.  It's full-bodied with chewy tannins.  It's ripe with a hint of vanilla and toasty notes on the finish.  Enjoy!

"Aromas of dark cherries, orange zest, dried lemons and incense. Full-bodied with chewy tannins. Rich and ripe with toasty notes on the flavorful finish. Drink or hold." 

Wine Spectator, 91 Points 

"Expressive, with mint, sage and sweet bay leaf notes leaping out, while the core of cassis and plum puree glides along steadily. Supple in feel, with a light kiss of vanilla on the finish. Drink now through 2030. 200 cases made."
