2012 Worthy Sophia's Cuvee Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
It’s symbolic to the quality of any wine that get’s requested and praised months or even years after our initial offering…  When this happens, some might call it storied or legendary, but when a value Cabernet Sauvignon makes this list, it simply speaks to the above-average quality of the wine.  Worthy’s Sophia’s Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon is cemented onto that list, and there’s really no surprise since it’s actually the second label for Axios, a top tier producer whose Cabernets range $135-$150 per bottle.  It was authored by legendary winemaker Bob Egelhoff, whose held winemaking positions at such notable wineries as Pahlmeyer, Harlan, Chappellet, Merryvale and David Arthur
 
I’m delighted but not surprised over how great many of the 2012 Napa Valley Cabernets from quality producers have developed in the bottle.  Worthy’s bouquet grabbed me from the very beginning with compelling and hedonistic notes that I found profoundly pleasing.   On the palate, soft and abundant layers of blackberry liqueur-like fruit, sweet mulberries, tobacco leaf, plum and dark chocolate charm your taste buds.  At under thirty per bottle this is clearly a terrific value in Napa Valley Cabernet.

Some of my favorite wine discoveries are those that naturally go on to sell hundreds of cases in just a couple vintages.  It’s a concrete affirmation proving that what we felt when we first tasted the wine resonated and was felt by almost everyone who tries it.  Sailor’s Grave’s Napa Valley Cabernet did just that.  And with its origins in Yountville, Oakville and Chiles Valley, combined with a price-point that makes you smile, it was the quality of the wine that propelled constant re-orders… to the tune of several hundred cases sold in only 2 vintages.

One of my favorite results that comes from tasting a new wine, is one that makes me do a double-take simply because the taste exceeds my expectations for the price.  The 2015 Fisticuffs Napa Valley Cabernet made me do just that.  Performing well above its weight class for value Napa Cabernet, this undisputed champion hailing from Napa Valley dances inside a tightly wound core, threaded with chocolate covered cherries, blackcurrants, unground coffee bean and cedar spice.
