Secret Indulgence Secret Blend Napa Valley 2018

Secret Indulgence is the brand by the mighty duo Jean-Charles Boisset, the eccentric and bigger-than-life Burgundian wine entrepreneur behind JCB and Raymond Vineyards, and Kimberly Jones, the wine broker, importer, taste-maker, and négociant to the stars here in Napa (Scarecrow, Pulido-Walker, Memento Mori, Ovid, Maybach). Guilty pleasures come in all shapes and sizes. Often one chooses not to share theirs, but sometimes we enjoy letting the cat out of the bag to prove we're human or perhaps to see if anyone shares our idiosyncratic amusements. Enter...Secret Indulgence wines. Its decadent Secret Blend unveiled consists of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, and 6% Cabernet Franc. You won't find us hiding it from you because we think plenty of people would jump on this juicy bandwagon. A playful, crowd-pleasing wine, it boasts intrigue, beginning with the eccentric, velvet, animal print label to the exploding expression of rich, full-bodied fruit that entertains the palate immediately. Best of all, it is delicious, well-made wine! Since ACME recommends gratifying wines, no matter the approach, we highlight this fruit-driven, opulent, personality-filled, luscious blend for its likable exhibitionist style. We celebrate its uninhibited style and concentrated cassis and currant notes intermixed with undertones of floral qualities - ACME is here to give you access!
