{"product_id":"2016-dalecio-family-wines-cabernet-sauvignon-reserve-napa-valley-california-usa-750ml","title":"2016 Dalecio Family Wines Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Napa Valley California USA 750mL","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eThis is the spectacular debut vintage from Scott Dalecio, who did the one thing that guarantees instant stardom in Napa Valley: he handed a blank check to Philippe Melka.\u003c\/b\u003e Melka is widely known as the \"Billionaire's Winemaker,\" the consulting genius behind cult icons like Tusk, Dana Estates, and Vice Versa—wines that regularly trade for $400 to $800 a bottle. When you see his name on a label, you are guaranteed a wine of hedonistic luxury, polished tannins, and massive scores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe 2016 Reserve is the \"Grand Vin\" of the estate, a barrel selection of the absolute best lots from high-altitude sites on Diamond Mountain and Pritchard Hill. In the wine world, 2016 is already legendary—a \"Goldilocks\" vintage of perfect balance and power. Melka and his right-hand man, Maayan Koschitzky, squeezed every ounce of potential out of these mountain sites, creating a wine that Robert Parker’s \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"408\"\u003eWine Advocate\u003c\/i\u003e rated 97 points, placing it in the same league as Spottswoode ($250+) and Phelps Insignia ($300+).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eBecause this was a debut release, the pricing hasn't yet caught up to the pedigree. This is a rare opportunity to drink a Melka-crafted, 97-point mountain Cabernet from a historic vintage for a fraction of what his other projects command. It is rich, unctuous, and undeniably expensive-tasting—a \"black tie\" Cabernet in every sense.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dalecio Family Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049208234241,"sku":"3514115","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/8085\/9649\/files\/3514115_1.png?v=1768697356","url":"https:\/\/winekey.com\/products\/2016-dalecio-family-wines-cabernet-sauvignon-reserve-napa-valley-california-usa-750ml","provider":"WineKey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
