Maximus is back again at the same incredible Insider's Advantage pricing! A couple weeks back we offered the 2019 vintage of Bennett Lane's "Maximus", but if you blinked, you probably weren't quick enough to snag any, it sold out FAST! Not surprising when you consider the fact that the wine is absolutely delicious, sourced from great vineyards across the Napa Valley including right next door to the iconic Chateau Montelena, and a vineyard high on Atlas Peak. Also, Bennett Lane's winemaker Rob Hunter learned his craft working in cellars such as Groth, Robert Keenan, Markham and Sterling - so his pedigree is plain to see. The wine is a bold and powerful blend of Bordeaux varieties led by Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot with a splash of Syrah and Petite Sirah further adding to the inky richness. Ripe plum, blackcurrant, crushed slate, warming spices, star anise, some pipe tobacco and briar patch hints. Full-bodied, nicely refined tannins and great balance across the palate. Still very youthful and full of intense fruit, but nicely settled in and integrated after a few years in bottle. Just a rocking Napa Cab blend for a price that's just plain ridiculous. To be honest the Maximus is quite reasonably priced at it's typical $55 SRP in a world where Napa wines are pretty expensive, this was already a great value. At our winery-direct, Insider's Advantage exclusive price under $20 it's sure to be another wine that flies out of here fast. Stock up and drink like a king (or Roman Emperor) for the next 5-10 years!
