Five Star Cellars 2019 Cab may be a match. There’s info on 2018 and the price and the composition seem to match. I can’t find a 93 point review, though.
That’s the conclusion I came to as well. Abv is also right for the 2018. The vineyards also match. The 2018 used 3 out of 4 in the email. They’ve used the 4th in other wines.
Anyone have experience with five star cellars?
R143/144 is WT Vintners from Boushey Vineyard. Pretty spectacular fruit for one Andrew Jackson.

Yeah, Boushey Syrah at anywhere under 30+ pretty much became a unicorn long ago. And Boushey Mourvedre is no slouch, either…

WT Vintners is one of my favorite wineries. These are seriously good deals. As an extra bonus, WT is a Berserker Day winery.
Agree. The 19 Les Collines Syrah was the best of a mixed case of full pull red under $30 - redacted and stated labels. I took some both of the Syrah and Mouvedre on this offer, Boushey fruit at $20 - no brainer.

Any guesses on Redacted 145?

Today’s release of the Avennia Syrah reminded me of Redacted 127, which my use of ChatGPT led me to deduce it was their 2019 release. Has anyone taken possession of the R127 yet and can confirm what it was?
Redacted 127 (and 126) is not Avennia. It’s WT Vintners.
Thanks!
Alright, Sleuthers, what would you wager Redacted 148 is? A 2021 Cab from Red Mountain from a Redacted regular. I first thought Lauren Ashton, but they were done by 2021. Soos Creek? Doesn’t fit the reviews. Hmm…
Fidelitas Wines - Products - 2021 Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
This one seems to check all the boxes, winery on RM making a blend of CdC Cab including 1975 block, and has made this wine since 2006. $80 list price, ABV 14.5%, and 95 score by OB.
In non-redacted Full Pull news, I put in for a 6er on last vintage of 2022 La Rata. I drank a 2016 not long ago and it was stellar. I expect I might get 3-4 of this one but gotta at least ask.

“The outstanding 2021 Fidelitas ‘Ciel du Cheval’ Cabernet Sauvignon comes from some old vine plantings from this site. A gorgeous, generous effort from this warm vintage, this100% varietal Cabernet displays a refined mouthfeel with velvety tannins on the palate. Rich dark cherry and boysenberry fruit flavors combine with dark chocolate shavings, espresso grounds and pencil lead notes on the palate. When to drink: 2024 to 2041 OB 95”
Owen seemingly rates every wine he drinks mid/high 90s … so take his reviews with a grain of salt. He’s a homer.

I asked for three La Rata and got three. Looking forward to this, although it’s going to sit for quite some time. I’m in my first year (8-9 months) at Full Pull. I’ve probably bought 2.5 cases in that time, in dribs and drabs. So, no real seniority. Based on that profile, I’m thinking that requests are getting completley fulfilled, by and large.

Well, I got 4 of my requested 6, but that was expected. I know their algorithm favors breadth (more customers get something) over depth (customers getting large orders of a sparce wine).
This was my first FP order in 2025, after going a bit nuts in past couple of years, ~100 bottles each in '23 and '24.
