Founded by Tom of the Gamble Family, this is a phenomenal value coming out of Napa Valley. All grapes from Rutherford and Oakville, showcasing delightful aromas of black plums, blackberries, cassis, menthol, dried thyme, and cocoa. On the palate, bright, lively acidity, toned tannins, with spicy notes of blackcurrant, menthol, nutmeg, and espresso. It's becoming more and more difficult to find quality, well balanced wines of value from Napa, but this Bordeaux blend not only delivers, but exceeded my expectation by a long shot!

The days of sub-$20 Napa Valley Cabs are all but a distant memory. Those that do exist are typically underwhelming to say the least. However, the exceptional deal we have on the 2019 Mill Keeper has renewed my faith that amazing values can still be found in Napa! And not just any part of the valley, we're talking pure Oakville and Rutherford fruit here. Mill Keeper is grown, produced and bottled by Gamble Ranch estate. The Gamble family have some of the very best estate vineyards in all of Napa Valley. Their holdings span Oakville and Rutherford, absolutely prime dirt for Cabernet Sauvignon. So we're talking top quality, estate grown fruit...now let's consider the winemaker Ross Dawkins whose resume includes working at Château Angélus in Saint-Emilion and being the Assistant Winemaker at Pahlmeyer! It just keeps getting better! To be honest, all things considered, this wine is a fantastic value at its typical $30-$35 price point. At our sub-$20 Insider's Advantage price it's unbeatable. Tons of ripe cassis, dark chocolate, plum, blackberry, leather, dusty earth (some real Rutherford character) nicely framed with cedary French oak. Fine grained tannins give excellent definition and length, it's a pretty serious bottle of wine! Juicy acidity brings nice lift to the generous fruit. Very complete and polished. Simply exceptional value for money.

Top Value! Drink from 2023 to 2030

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Cabernet Sauvignon and Blends

- Cabernet Sauvignon has come a long way from its role as a blending varietal, however dominant, in the wines of Bordeaux. Today it is the most planted red varietal in the world. Identified as a descendent of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, the late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon needs to be planted in warmer climates to fully ripen. Its small berries can easily be identified for their distinctive blue color, thick skins and high tannins. And while the varietal has its own definitive characteristics: green pepper-like aromas and black currant flavors among them, it is perhaps most prized for its ability to convey terroir, vintage and winemaking. A relatively new varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon started making inroads into the wines of the Médoc and Graves in the late-18th century. Today it is also dominant in the up-and-coming Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux and can also be found in Southwest France. It is the companion varietal to Sangiovese in Italy's Super Tuscans and is planted all over Europe, stretching to lesser-known winegrowing regions like Russia and Lebanon. In the Americas Cabernet Sauvignon has found champions in every nook and cranny of California and among winemakers in Washington, where it complements plantings of Merlot. In South America, Cab thrives in Chile, but can also be found in smaller amounts in Argentina and even in Mexico.

Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.

Specific Appellation:

Napa Valley

- America's most famous wine region, which encompasses a varied geographical territory running about 20 miles long from the San Francisco Bay northward to the foot of Mount St. Helena. Napa's great diversity, both in terms of climate and terroir, has led to the creation of a number of smaller AVAs like Stags Leap District, Rutherford, Howell Mountain, Oakville and Mount Veeder, among others. Cabernet and chardonnay still reign supreme, but just about everything under the sun is grown in Napa Valley, in quality levels ranging from $2 jug wine to $500 a bottle California cab.
