The 2019 Stack House, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley was a Merchant's Pick
Rock-star Cabernet For Everyday!
October 20, 2023
Forget $75. Forget $60. Forget $50. This is the best thirty-something Napa Cabernet you will taste - and we have tasted quite a bit of Cali Cab over the years.
Stack House is "always a smoking value... Bravo!" Jeb Dunnuck
With prices in Napa still rising, Stack House is an "under-the-radar" standout - and we hope it stays that way!
Standout is an understatement - especially when you read below who is behind this rock-star red.
Stack House explodes out of the glass with ripe fruit and highlights of blackberry, cassis, mocha, black currant, blueberries, and clove. Though rich, textured and opulent, the mouth-feel is sublime. Secondary notes of dark chocolate, clove spice, black pepper and black cherry are interlaced with toasty oak.
Who Is Behind This Hidden Gem?
Husband and wife team Anna and Mario Monticelli. Anna worked harvest at Cheval Blanc, was the former assistant winemaker at Bryant Family and winemaker at Piña. Her husband, Mario, spent time at Antinori and has worked at Quintessa and Hundred Acre.
That is a well-rounded bio for both!
Crafted for early consumption but with the ability to age for another 7 years, this is one of the best-kept secrets in Napa Valley and a red to buy by the case(s).
