Let’s snap out of it. Wine doesn’t always need to be taken so seriously. Taste leads the way, not the price tag on the bottle.
The Cult Wine Co. believes enjoying wine should be fun. For them, wine is for loud potluck style dinners, endless catch-up conversations, poured for those long rambling toasts, with glasses that don’t need stems, all to make every occasion a celebration.
From their seasoned wine family rooted in Napa Valley, The Cult Wine Co. started as a pursuit to prove that great wines can be crafted outside the limits of the valley. Napa Valley produces powerful fruit, but it’s not the only place that grows quality wine grapes. California’s Lodi region also benefits from a Mediterranean climate with warm days and cool evenings that develops rich flavors in the wine grapes.
With The Cult Wine Co., all you need to know is what you like. This bold honesty is captivating and suddenly you want to be surrounded by those that see the world of wine as they do.
One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.
Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
