LOCK it IN!! This is DEFINITELY NOT your ordinary Napa Cab! Nope, it’s Courtney Benham’s flagship Cab, built from the heart of the valley to unleash pedigree, precision, and pure hedonistic power. Mélange du Baum, the crown jewel of Courtney’s Terroir Expression Series, celebrates his twin passions: cycling and Cabernet. Pulled from the best barrels of the vintage, this wine is Napa Valley in high definition. Typically commanding a triple-digit price tag, today you can drop it into your cart for a Cabernet coup.

From launching Blackstone Winery into stardom to reviving Martin Ray, Courtney Benham has turned his phenom focus to a namesake label. And we are SOOO glad he did! Turning out top tier Napa Valley Cabernet IS his superpower. Dialed into all things terroir, the Mélange du Baum gives significant voice to various valley vineyards in real time - from Diamond Mountain to Mount Veeder and Rutherford to Oakville. The bottle carries the valley in surround sound.

The 2021 Mélange du Baum Napa Valley Cabernet is sleek, stacked with luscious black fruit, and supported by a plush core that glides on fine-grained tannins and thanks to a lavish 20-month stay in 45% new oak, it glows with stunning sandalwood and spice. The soils? A wild mix of loam, gravel, alluvial gold, and volcanic grit – this is literally Napa Cab’s site-specific version of rocket fuel.

The kind of bottle that collectors hoard, and VinePals snag with a smirk.

Blackberry and blueberry with lots of violets and hints of asphalt on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, plush and juicy but not heavy or overly rich. Fine velvety tannins. A blend of key appellation such as Diamond Mountain, Mount Veeder, Rutherford and Oakville.
