Anyone buying the Wolf Grade Mount Veeder? Price point is pretty good.
I bit on one to try… easy way to spend the $20 survey credit from last month.
Spent my survey credit on the Rhys syrah offer.
I got a $40 survey credit, used it on Le Pelle Chardonnay
Best guess = Brandlin Estate? Was anyone able to pair the survey credit with a free shipping code…or did you have to bump your order up to $150+? Would love to take a flyer on one…but don’t need to take a flyer on seven…
I had an existing order I placed over the summer, with shipping delayed to November. That one was over $150 so qualified for free shipping. So I was able to add my “credit” bottle to that order with no additional shipping charge. It’s a nice feature they have.
Are you sure you drank the Reserve? On the WA App, the 23 Reserve Napa is $30, and the 23 non-Reserve Alexander Valley is $28. Either way, it sounds interesting, can you provide any additional notes on this wine?
Anyone tried M Brugnon or alfred tritant champagnes? Have some credit and looking for some house bubbles?
I haven’t bought a Wineaccess NDA wine in quite some time, and have been saving the 2019 Commission cabernet. Decided to open one this weekend.
- 2019 Wine Access Cabernet Sauvignon Commission - USA, California, Napa Valley (11/10/2025)
Dunn DNA seems unmistakable: iron-fisted tannin, cassis so deep it’s almost black, and a sense of vertical lift that promises much more aging potential. On open it’s a curt 89-point handshake; give it six hours of air and the walls relax, revealing graphite, bay, and a whisper of eucalyptus. The 93-point score is post-decant, but this is really a 20-year wine masquerading as a weeknight splurge. 14.8%. Patience required; payoff guaranteed. (93 points)
Has anyone tried the 2021 Kinfolk Cabernet Sauvignon Moon Mountain? I’m intrigued by the story. High end Pinot producer decided to make a cabernet. Risky, because what if they’re selling because they found that they’re not that great of a cabernet producer! ![]()
Yes I quite like the M Brugnon for the price. Picked up some more recently.
Sorry I missed your message when you replied. I am not the best at descriptors–more of a like/dislike guy. However, I highly respect the taste of RockinCabs on CellarTracker. He had this to say about the Reserve:
10/25/2025 - RockinCabs wrote: 92 points
Nose: Exotic spices, Blackberry, anise and florals. This nose unfolds and reveals layers of beautiful nuance.
Palate: Luxuriant layered black fruit, plum, berries, graphite, cedar and more anise notes.
Finish: Lenghty, detailed and rich. Everything you are looking for in a Napa cab from Oakville.
This wine was crafted by the winemakers at the estate it comes from for Wine Access, and really represents the best of what they can do with their relationships. The thinly veiled description around the NDA suggests this is from a very specific slice of West Oakville high in the hills that has traditionally under performed its toney terroir.
This is a winner from the 2023 NDA Portfolio.
M Brugnon is legit. We pour it often for guests and by doing so, i have probably sold more M Brugnon than any sales guy at wineacess. Stuff is delicious. Way over delivers for the price.
20% off today! Some really nice deals with the discount.
Check your amex! I have 2x 20 off 100
Has anyone had the sparklers from mike cruse other operation, cruse wine co? I see they have sparkler for $50, and then 20% off on top would make it interesting if they were good. Im bitter, having been stung by the recent vintages of ultramarine.
The 2023 Commission seems to fit in every way with The Vineyard House. If so, that’s a nice wine!
I was intrigued with the description of this wine, but I don’t see anything on CellarTracker for a Vineyard House Cab for the 2023 vintage…Also, The Vineyard House has several different Cabs, which one do you think this one is?
I didn’t see a 2023 either, or a 2022 for that matter. Perhaps not yet bottled? I figured it was the straight estate cab. Fits the price. The vineyards own words match the description of the “amphitheater.” They held tastings vs the high-priced neighbors and came in third. It all seems to fit.
Checked my Amex card and had a $60 statement credit on a $150 purchase , sweet
