“Grab one of the best QPR Cabs if you don’t have any. One of my favorite Wine Spies offerings.”

“The best $35-$40 bottle of cab I’ve had from Wine Spies.”

Thank you for those comments, Ops! It’s time to blow the dome off your Cabernet-loving mind. Stormy Weather is back! A MUST have for lovers of lush, plush, flashy Napa Cab.

Of the MANY Napa Cabs that come and go, a few stand out as clear winners over the years. This one generated countless rave comments, and more than one lamenting, “I only got one bottle and should have bought more…”

Well, now is the time to make up for it. And the best part? We dialed in an even better vintage, with a higher score, at the lowest price ever recorded. Dropping UNDER $40. 94 points. 2018 vintage.

Game. On.

The truth is, you can spend A LOT more on big, pumped-up Napa Cab, but they don’t get much better than this. If you’ve had the previous Stormy, you already know the deal and are rapidly forging ahead through the checkout.

For the uninitiated, here’s the scoop:

Many of you know Hundred Acre, the cult favorite - yes, that $800 2018 we featured in the Cyber Monday Marathon for 11 seconds - almost always perfect Cabernets by Jayson Woodbridge, the man, the myth. But did you know his brother Cameron Woodbridge also makes badass wine in a runs-in-the-family full-throttle, all-or-nothing style?!

Cameron worked alongside his brother and Philippe Melka, who consulted for Hundred Acre at the time, back in 2005. He honed his skills and broke out to make similarly opulent, hedonistic, high-scoring Cabs.

But wait… there’s one BIG difference… The price. You can get a baker’s dozen of these today for the price of a single bottle of Hundred Acre.

In the glass, it’s dark as the eye of a tornado and just as strong. Every sip sends you on a category 5 thrill ride, with mouthfuls of silky extracted black and red cherry, tilled earth, boysenberry jam, cigar box, exotic spices, and layers of rich dark chocolate wafers. All carried on a wave of fine-grained sweet tannin. Fairly hedonistic in style, it sure does deliver a cult Cab experience at a fraction of their price.

Like the barometric pressure in a hurricane, our inventory is no doubt already rapidly plummeting. This storm will pass soon, so make your move!

94 Points – The Wine Independent “The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Northern Gale is deep garnet-purple in color. Vibrant notes of black and red cherries give way to nuances of spice cake, potpourri, and tobacco leaf. The full-bodied palate is bright, refreshing, and breezy, with fine-grained tannins and an energetic finish. Drink 2023-2040.”
