After years, months and days of eager anticipation, our inaugural release of “The Treat,” a lush 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, is released today. You were among the first to know of this wine and now have the opportunity to purchase “The Treat.”

“The Treat” is made by Andrew Vingiello (AP VIN) at his winery on Treat Avenue in San Francisco. The 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are sourced from one of the preeminent vineyards in Rutherford in the heart of the Napa Valley. The 2007 Treat underwent a long fermentation and 22 months barrel aging in 100% new French oak. The first thing you'll notice about the 2007 Treat is the gorgeous, dark velvet color. After swirling the glass and smelling the wine, you'll find aromas of blackberries, chocolate, coffee, anise, and toast. The palate is exquisite with tons of berry fruit and a very lush and substantial texture. There are definite tannins for extended aging, but the abundance of ripe fruit allows immediate enjoyment. Release price: $225 per 3-pack; 150 cases made (plus a small amount of large format bottles).

Due to extremely limited production of this wine, each person on this list has been allocated one 3-pack of 750 mL bottles. Should you wish to purchase an additional 3-pack of this wine, you may make a request and we will handle those requests on a first come, first served basis. Etched magnums of “The Treat” are also available in extremely limited quantities.
