Tether Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2023

In Napa, access is everything. And when the right people decide to build something for the sheer joy of sharing it, the result can be thrilling.

Because in this valley, meaningful access isn't flashy — it's quiet. It's the long-standing grower relationship that unlocks a prized lot that might otherwise disappear into a cult label. It's knowing which vineyard blocks overdelivered in a given vintage. It's having the credibility to secure fruit from nine prestigious sub-AVAs — not for a $200 mailing list wine, but for a bottle meant to be opened generously. That's where value is born.

Kimberly Jones — the consummate insider who represents some of California's most collectible names (Scarecrow, Blankiet, Realm, Checkerboard, Memento Mori, Ovid) — partnered with veteran winemaker Anna Monticelli, whose résumé spans Château Cheval Blanc, Bryant Family, Seavey, Piña, and Stack House. Between them? Access. Relationships. Standards.

The fruit is sourced from nine of Napa Valley’s most prestigious sub-AVAs — an enviable palette few projects can assemble — and the 2023 blend leans confidently into 91% Cabernet Sauvignon with 9% Malbec for polish and depth. Aged in 100% French oak (75% new), it carries the structure and refinement of bottles twice its price. And yet, this is just $63. That's the magic trick. Not cutting corners. Not compromising élevage. Simply using connections to overdeliver. This is insider Napa — the sort of wine you pour for friends who "know," and for those you're about to impress.
