When Antonio Galloni tells us the 2021 Maitre de Chai Cabernet Sauvignon Gala Vineyard may very well be the single best value in Napa Valley Cabernet, we immediately rush out to try the wine and then buy every single case available. An under the radar vineyard we frankly never heard about before, the Gala Mountain Vineyard sits above the Napa Valley on the slopes of Mt. George, just east of the city of Napa. This northwest facing vineyard was planted in 1992 on rocky volcanic bedrock with sandy topsoil and is cooled by the constant breezes from the San Pablo Bay. The vines are well drained, deep rooting & produce small clusters, which lend to the structure of the wine. This six acre vineyard was converted from organic to biodynamic farming in 2018 and is tended to by hand, which matches Maitre de Chai's vision "from the ground to the bottle, the character of the wine is the focus of our endeavor." Only 40 cases available. Don't miss it!
Antonio Galloni: 96 Points
"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Gala Vineyard is fabulous. It emerges from a terraced vineyard at 1,800 feet in elevation in Napa Valley, just above the Coombsville AVA. Rich, dark and beautifully structured, the 2021 possesses notable pedigree and character. Black cherry, plum, gravel, licorice, bay leaf and espresso all race across the palate. Readers who enjoy old-school Napa Cabernets will adore this. This wine, if sold in Napa Valley, would cost four to five times as much. Don't miss it!" Antonio Galloni Vinous Media, 96 Points
