2019 Prime Cellars District 4 Red Blend Napa Valley

This spectacular Red Blend deal, sourced from two blue-chip vineyards by a consummate Napa insider, is your exclusive shot at one of the valley’s most remarkable values—a wine that drinks well above its $40 release price.

“The price of this label is an absolute bargain by Napa standards,” says Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate of Prime Cellars, advising: “You’ll want to get in here fast.”

Prime Cellars is achieving the kind of explosive bang-for-buck quality that’s hard to find today. The tiny label is led by the hugely talented Ted Henry, a fixture of the Nape elite class: He headed up winemaking at the historic Clos du Val winery for five years before taking on winegrowing duties at the iconic 100-point Groth Vineyards & Winery just this year.

These micro-production wines are Ted’s personal passion, and he leverages his high-level connections to tap Napa Valley’s best small growers and hidden pockets of outstanding terroir. For him, volume is dictated only by what will meet his stringent standards, and in 2019, he produced just 220 cases of District 4. It’s an opulent blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah sculpted by cool microclimates and volcanic soils.

Ted skimmed some of the best fruit off the top of two incredible vineyards in Stags Leap District and Coombsville—sites we can’t name, but whose grapes go into $100+ bottles from Amici, Hall, and Shafer.
