Thank you for your interest — this special offer is no longer available. But don’t worry, more exciting deals are coming soon.
Iron & Vine is one of Napa Valley's most sought-after and acclaimed producers — a winery whose Cabernet Sauvignon sells out completely to its wine club members and on-site guests every single vintage. There is no retail shelf, no restaurant wine list, no way to buy Iron & Vine unless you're on the list or visiting in person. This exclusive NDD offering is a genuine exception — a rare allocation that gives our members access to a wine that is simply unavailable anywhere else. The 2023 delivers everything that has made Iron & Vine legendary: deep, concentrated blackberry and cassis, iron-laced minerality, velvety tannins, and a finish of extraordinary length and complexity. At 94 points and $125 retail, it's a benchmark Napa Cabernet. At $29.90, it's the deal of the year.
Winemaking Notes
The Reserve was crafted from three individual estate blocks, all hand-picked and hand-sorted. Malolactic fermentation occurred in French oak barrels, and the wine was aged for 22 months—one-third in new oak and two-thirds in neutral. Final blending was completed two months prior to bottling to ensure harmony, balance, and a refined expression of the estate fruit.

Winemaking
The Iron & Vine 2023 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted with meticulous attention to balance, structure, and longevity. Sourced from premium Napa Valley vineyards, the wine is aged in French oak barrels to enhance complexity while preserving the purity of the fruit. This careful maturation develops layers of blackberry, cassis, dark chocolate, espresso, and subtle toasted oak, resulting in a Cabernet with velvety tannins, refined elegance, and remarkable depth. Designed to express both power and finesse, it offers immediate enjoyment while rewarding additional cellaring through 2036.

Frequently Asked Question
Perfect With…
Iron & Vine's bold structure and velvety tannins make it an outstanding companion to richly flavored cuisine. Pair it with dry-aged porterhouse, grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, or roasted rack of lamb to complement its concentrated dark fruit and savory complexity. It also shines alongside aged cheddar, Gouda, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and earthy dishes such as wild mushroom risotto or black truffle pasta.

What the Experts Are Saying
Expert Tasting Notes, Ultimate Wine Challenge
Impressive nose of smoky cassis, pipe tobacco, cedar, vanilla bean, resin, and saddle leather. A chorus of stewed black fruits, sweet spice, vanilla, and oak build on the palate, with pleasing drying tannins to add structure.
Expert Tasting Notes, Ultimate Wine Challenge
Dried black currants, nutmeg, dried tobacco, and cocoa nibs abound on the nose. The palate is rich and structured with blackberry jam, cedar, and sweet spice. The finish is equally rich and jammy with a long, smooth finish.
Expert Tasting Notes, Ultimate Wine Challenge
Freshly sliced bresaola, vine ripe tomatoes, and cassis are sweet and savory aromas. Bold flavors are bright and juicy with blackcurrants and blackberries, dusty cocoa powder, an earthy mineral flare. The big flavors here would do well next to a richly marbled steak.
