When our team tasted through all the vintages, it was these SIX that stood out among the rest. We thought, what better way to share the love than to pack them up and bring them to you for UNDER $350 (and nearly $1,100 off typical retail)? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrown on the rugged and wild Spring Mountain, Cain Five is one of the most iconic and cult-level Cab blends you’ll find in Napa Valley. The long-term winemaker Chris Howell studied with one of Spain’s top winemakers before working at Chateau Mouton Rothschild and then heading to Napa to train with the great André Tchelistcheff and going on to consult at the Peter Michael winery. In 1990, he landed at Cain and has remained ever since.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe estate covers 500 acres, with 88 planted to vines (at least, before the 2020 fires) in an absolutely idyllic bowl where steeply terraced vineyards rise to nearly 2,100 feet above sea level. It’s farmed by a highly specialized, seven-person crew that has been there for decades, caring for a seriously baffling diversity of blocks, and exposures, terraces, and soil-types, clones, and old vines. From here, the legendary Cain Five has been crafted for decades over, made of all five of the traditional Bordeaux grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot). The blend is uniquely crafted to shape the identity as the flagship of this singular estate and cult-worthy producer, and we’re counting our lucky stars that we have unparalleled access to this unbelievable library!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll SIX of the vintages in our 6-packs have 96 to 97 point scores.
