| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.8 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by John O' on 11/19/2023: differ from others in that I thought it was great right now. drank over about 2 hours (1112 views) | | | Tasted by rdjames on 6/18/2022: Great fruit and tannins. Don’t drink till 2026 (2564 views) | | | Tasted by MK_Maxxable on 12/19/2021: I was hopeful that time had made this better for me but not so much. Tasted another bottle after reading of others having good results. It wasn't horrible but I just didn't care for it - again. With so many other really good (to me) dN wines, I think that the rest of these will still on the bottom of the rack .
The wine was very dark purple, with a fair amount of sediment & crystals. Initial aroma was not pleasant but after a few hours in the decanter, it improved. To me this was much better with food than on it's own. (3192 views) | | | Tasted by EMichels on 12/16/2021: Solid wine but heavy dust right now. (2709 views) | | | Tasted by sunnylea57 on 12/11/2021 & rated 93 points: I asked Cam for advice on which de Negocé Cab I should open, and he said, of the ones I purchased, they all needed significantly more time in bottle. That didn't stop me from opening a bottle of N.28. I decanted it at noon and had a first taste around 5 pm. No overripe fruit bomb here. It was nicely balanced and structured with austere black fruit, good acidity and dusty tannins. The only drawback was it felt a bit closed, with a short finish. I recanted (if that's what you call pouring the wine from the decanter back into the bottle - and if not, it should be) the last third of the bottle, stuck it in the wine fridge, and revisited it two nights later. It had really blossomed: full-bodied plummy fruit, wood spice, a little liquorice, and a lengthy finish. Hot tip: if you're going to drink one of these any time soon, give it at least 24 hours of air. You're welcome. Me, I'm going to bury my 11 remaining bottles until 2028 and drink them over the subsequent decade. (2717 views) | | | Tasted by EMichels on 11/17/2021 & rated 87 points: Solid but austere; Shows best shortly after opening (2742 views) | | | Tasted by cyc on 6/2/2021: No rating. On day one this was an oak bomb, and it was hard to detect much fruit or character underneath the overwhelming oak. On day two, this started to show better, but it seems this is still too young to give a proper assessment. If you drink this now, be prepared for a long decant. (3513 views) | | | Tasted by MK_Maxxable on 1/4/2021: This is the 2nd bottle I've had and both were just not good. This was so sour it just was undrinkable. I am confused by what was described and what I experienced. This was sour, bitter and flat. Not one fruit note or taste. This one was a real disappointment. (3926 views) | | | Tasted by jonh1 on 12/9/2020 flawed bottle: Either corked or not a good wine. Finish of sour fruit, wet cardboard, and musty basement. Will try another bottle in a few months and report back. (3331 views) | | | Tasted by redz on 11/24/2020 & rated 92 points: That's a 92+. Tight and young, rich and lush. Should be great in a few years. (3220 views) | | | Tasted by kellybr3 on 11/7/2020 & rated 95 points: full-disclosure, I'm a Cam fan-boy, so take this with a grain of salt. This cab lived up to its marketing hype. Big and bold, yet somehow remaining elegant. Black cherry, black currant / cassis, plumb, wood, and leather on the palate. Superb finish. Best is yet to come.

Welcome to De Négoce
As a negociant or wine trader, I've been sourcing and selling great wine from around the globe for over 20 years. My new de Négoce [day-NA-go-SHAY] platform offers you the opportunity to pre-purchase these wines before they go into the bottle. Known in the trade as En Primeur or futures, buying wine out of the barrel allows you to access pricing not seen since the 1970's.
Of course, none of this operates without the crucial ingredient of trust. And while the phrase "trust me" stands perhaps a little tarnished in today's world, I ask for your trust and promise every wine will be as represented in the offer.
Wine may only be purchased via our email list. Offers are made in tranches.
Once a tranche closes, the wine is bottled and shipped to you.
The sooner one signs up, the sooner you will receive the offer.
Sign up below to join the list and receive your first offer. Unsubscribe at any time.
For Customer Service inquires please email: support@denegoce.com
de Negoce has now also opened a bottle shop where you can purchase individual bottles. You must buy in tranches of 6 or 12 and the price per bottle is higher than if you bought the "futures" case. Cabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
