Groezinger's Review of Charbay '05 Cab

Goodness gracious, we're blushing over here!

Here's what Rick has to say about our Cab... (I've blacked out the prices because I don't want anyone to get into trouble!)

2005 DOMAINE CHARBAY, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
This is the greatest deal on super-premium Cabernet Sauvignon I’ve ever seen during my twenty years of selling wine. Most wine drinkers will never be offered an opportunity like this in there entire lifetime and neither will their children or grandchildren. This offer is only available to customers who receive our paper and/or email newsletter because if I put this up for sale online it would piss wineries off even more than Rudd last month. So you’ll have to phone home, ET. This wine is from the coveted Stag’s Leap District and is comparable to or better than Silverado Reserve, Hartwell, and Shafer at a mere fraction of the price. My good buddy, Marko Karakasevic, made this rock star Cab back in 2005 and since then Charbay’s booze business has exploded forcing their attention to vodkas, tequila, whiskey, rum, moonshine, brandy, and anything else you could possibly distill and sell. That left this $75 Cabernet sitting around with no one paying attention to it since they were all ripped on booze. Then the economy took a splattery crap right into the fan and they lowered the price to $50. Rapidly, the demand for their booze skyrocketed as jilted executives and ceo’s drowned their sorrows in delicious fruit infused vodkas and rums from Charbay. Soon, more people were out of work and $50 Cabernet started to go out of fashion. That’s when Marko called me and made me a deal only a drooling idiot would pass up. See where I’m going with this? Before anyone gets called names referring to slobbering stupidity, I’ll supply the facts and flavors. 2005 was a VERY good vintage with a cool growing season and a warm fall. The Stag’s Leap District is an AWESOME place to grow Cabernet…..too bad NONE of them are $--. From the first glance, this wine is impressive. The color is incredibly dark and opaque with aromas that match the intimidating color. Whiffs of cherry, cassis, vanilla, and spice will send you back to Drinkonomics 101, reeducating you on what you can get for ----- ----- bucks. On the palate the wine is like liquid happiness, delivering flavors of cassis, cherry, plum, raspberry, blueberry, and tobacco. The finish is polished and lengthy and keeps bringing you back for more until it’s gone. I’ve been drinking it every day for weeks and it doesn’t ever get boring. It was in French oak for 26 months and has been bottled for almost two years which means it’s drinking perfectly now and will do so for the next six years if you can resist the temptation. Only 1,000 cases were produced and I bought as much as I could because there’s nothing better for the money and probably never will be again. Now that you have the facts, I could not urge you strongly enough to buy as much of this wine as you possibly can. It’s not like I make a ton of money selling you $-- wine, I’m just trying to hook all y’all up. Only $--- will get you three cases DELIVERED anywhere in the continental U.S. Shipping is FREE in California, Oregon, and Washington which is just rickdickulous. Now, don’t start slobbering in a helpless spasm of enological ignorance, just pick up that phone and CALL ME AT 800-356-3970. You will be so happy you did and feel so smart and probably like me more or like me again and it will make the whole world a better place to be, filled with love, harmony, and balance. What other wine can do that? The answer: none.

Ok now I'm thirsty, see ya!
