The 2019 Chad, Sonoma Mountain Reserve Proprietary Red was a Merchant's Pick
Chad's Sonoma Mountain Red Is Back!
October 18, 2023
You might recall the original story:
"Where's the Chad?"
"You ran out of Chad?!"
"When's the Chad coming back?!!!"
We've heard this repeatedly since we sold out of our hottest-selling California red blend two years ago. It wasn't hysteria, but the interest was palpable.
Since then, requests for this wine have been staggering.
Juicy and powerful, the 2019 Chad Sonoma Mountain is a lush red with flavors of black current, plum, mocha, and cigar box. The core of black fruit and dark cherry provide velvety tannins, peppercorn, and all-spice on the finish that seems to last for minutes... and minutes... and minutes.
How can such fervor be tied to this blend? How is this blend so modestly priced, given its quality?
The pedigree!
We are precluded from mentioning where the grapes are sourced for this Proprietary Blend. We can tell you they are from the oldest vines in Sonoma Mountain and often used in single-vineyard bottling of some very pricey wines.
A Bordeaux blend, Chad has an endless finish that speaks to its impeccable pedigree. It has concentration and length found in bottles twice its price; that’s because the juice in this wine is twice the price!
Can you keep a secret? So can we.
Make sure you buy enough to last you through the winter, as this knockout Napa red will likely be sold out before the holidays.
This is a no-brainer!
Enjoy!
