I know, I know – ANOTHER Napa cab on Last Bottle?

I realized it was Shafer after the joke about punctuation and the 40+ year winemaker tenure, then deduced the bottling from there.

In case any folks are interested, I remember the last mystery was a Chappellet and we snapped it up brutally quick! That did feel like a better deal though – I do see it at $80 on the web. This may be more worthwhile if buying multiples to keep.

    Good deal, but with all the Napa cabs I have coming this fall/winter (thanks to LastBottle), I’m tapped out

    Some great Cabs lately. Just got the Chappellet and it’s fantastic.

    Missed the Chappellet, so picked up two of these. Feeling the budget though after the Panaches yesterday!

    I’m starting a collection and new to wine. I’m struggling how to evaluate reputable wine brands vs ratings. For example, I ordered the Arrivé and Hampton Royce cabs from LB because they were $35ish and 95-96 ratings. But those aren’t famous Napa producers. Shafer is, but this is a 93-95 for twice the cost and a difficult vintage. Should I trust the brand name? Ratings? Vintage year? I dunno….

    Also, there was another LB mystery bottle this morning that flew off quick; anyone know what it was?

    Sold out as I was in check out. Looks like replaced with TD-9?

    I nabbed 2 bottles of the one point five and 2 of the TD9.

    I’ve enjoyed the relentless and hillside select bottles in the past, these should be solid as well.
