As dense and dark as it is gorgeously versatile, this Napa Cabernet from The Vice feels as perfectly suited to a casual burger as it would with filet mignon. In fact, it would serve to elevate either.
Winemaker Vance Rose is a Napa super-talent, and we’d drop anything to meet him for a burger and a glass. We’ve been following his career for years and his résumé includes stints with such stellar estates as Rosemount in Australia, Donum in Carneros, Ehlers in St. Helena, plus Grieve Family Winery and Double Eagle. When Rose coupled that expertise with The Vice’s insane vineyard sources, he stacked the deck in his favor. It’s a bet that’s paying off at far below the $150+ cost of entry that top Napa Cabernets command
