Winemakers note: This Cabernet Sauvignon showed beautifully in its early years, but it was my decision to not release it in 2007 as I felt it was a wine that would need time to develop. It is a very beautiful wine. Salud, JMP (RIP)

Note: You'll notice an increase in the price of some of our DEALS this year. This is due to the drastic increase in my wholesale costs including freight, inflationary costs in Spain (including olive oil) and the high cost of shipping in the US. As always, we attempt to keep these increases at a minimum.
