The 2019 Gandona “Encosta” Cabernet Sauvignon
stats are unmatched.

Some of you may already know this wine and if you’ve had it before, you know exactly how AMAZING this is.

For everyone else, let me introduce you to one of the most compelling Cabernet values coming out of Napa Valley today.

From history and location to the people behind the wine, this bottle checks every box. And at $39.99 when you purchase a 12-bottle case, it’s the kind of deal that makes seasoned collectors salivate.

The story begins with Manuel Pires, proprietor of Gandona Estate. Manuel grew up learning winemaking traditions from his grandfather in the Douro Valley of Portugal. In tribute to those roots, the winery and vineyard are lined with classic Portuguese calçada-style stone pavement, a beautiful representation to his heritage.

The wine itself takes its name from the Portuguese word “Encosta,” meaning hillside which is fitting for a vineyard perched in one of Napa Valley’s most prestigious neighborhoods.

We’re talking about Pritchard Hill, home to some of the most legendary Cabernet producers in the world. Names like:

Chappellet Winery
Continuum Estate
Bryant Estate
Colgin Cellars
Ovid Napa Valley
David Arthur Vineyards

These estates produce Cabernets that often sell for hundreds of dollars per bottle. Gandona sits right among them from the same prized hillside soils that have made this area synonymous with elite Napa Cabernet.

BUT WAIT.... IT GETS BETTER :)

Now let’s talk about the talent behind the wine.

The 2019 vintage was crafted with the guidance of Philippe Melka, one of the most celebrated winemakers in Napa Valley. His resume is like the greatest hits list of cult Cabernet producers:

Hundred Acre Wine Group
Bryant Estate
Dana Estates
Realm Cellars
Gemstone Vineyard
Brand Winery
Lail Vineyards
Seavey Vineyard
Blankiet Estate

Just know wines associated with Melka usually land in the $150–$800+ range, often with cult status and tiny allocations.

But the story gets EVEN better.

Melka’s consulting partner on this project is Graeme MacDonald, whose family history in Napa Valley dates back to 1954, when his great-grandparents purchased a small retirement property in Oakville that included a vineyard known as........... To Kalon Vineyard!!!!!!!!!!

This 2019 Gandona "Encosta" cabernet is full of life and with two to three hours of decanting, it will be a showstopper. This wine is set to be one of the best showings The winery has yet to put out to date. It can easily develop further in the cellar over the next 10-15 years.

SRP: $110.00

SALE: $44.99 each on 1-11 bottles
