SAVE $XX a bottle on this particularly delicious Cabernet aged 30 months in French oak barrels (30% new). Don't miss The Lost Chapters Sonoma Coast Cabernet Sauvignon.
Lost Chapters is back with another fantastic wine from Paul Scotto and Mitch Cosentino! If you enjoyed the Petite Sirah we offered previously, you'll want to check this deal out as well.
This blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Cabernet Franc from the Sonoma Coast received 92 Points from Anthony Dias Blue. We put it right in that same range at 91-93 Points.
The winemakers, Paul and Mitch, are two of the biggest names in the business:
In 2017 The Lost Chapters was born representing the culmination of 5th generation Winemaker Paul Scotto's dream. Each year Paul sources and crafts dozens of brands, varietals and blends for the Scotto Family's extensive wine portfolio. In his relentless search for just the right barrel lots to fit the profile of each bottling, Paul occasionally encounters something very special that deserves its own place. While these select and limited lots may enhance a given blend, they would also present themselves far better as a stand-alone that most likely would not be repeated in future vintages.
Add to this the deep experience of Mitch and you can begin to see why this wine is so special:
Mitch is the personification of a "hands-on" winemaker with his never ending drive and oversight from the vineyard to bottle and on to the glass. With his far-reaching expertise, Mitch has garnered almost 2000 awards and medals.
With foresight of things to come in the market, Mitch broke new ground with the founding of the Meritage Association (now known as the Meritage Alliance) in 1988 and produced the first American wine bottled with that designation.
Mitch is widely recognized in the international winemaking community for his blending skills, deep connection with the vineyard and amazing palate memory. He artfully combines these great skills in each of the wines he crafts exhibiting the distinctive expression of the vineyard and varietal (or mix of varietals) in precise balance.
Combining his "hands-on" tradition with a pledge to time honored Old World techniques, Mitch is committed to crafting small lots of extraordinary wines. A perfect fit with the Scotto family's vision for J. McClelland Cellars.

From the winery:
Part of this lot was tank fermented and part was punched cap fermented by hand in one ton lots. 30 months of aging in French oak barrels (30% new oak) followed.
TASTING NOTES: Pomegranate, currants, green pepper and tea aromatics. Briary, spicy, Cabernet notes in the old California style with a Bordeaux like balance and structure, big and long with great potential to age for a couple of decades. A true big red meat wine.
A Wine Adventure From Mitch Cosentino & Paul Scotto

The 2018 The Lost Chapters Sonoma Coast Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a very pleasing aroma full of spicy black cherry and licorice with touches of vanilla, black tea and more.
Tasting reveals a smooth mouthfeel with similar flavors to the nose plus lots of spice that builds wonderfully all the way through the mid-palate and reaches a crescendo on the long, dry, grippy finish.
It actually tastes a bit more like a Bordeaux blend with the Cabernet Franc in the mix, but that's a very good thing as this one is particularly delicious. It was just as good on day 2.

Here's what people are saying about our Insider Deals:
"Hey Jon! You do great work. I've bought a bunch of the Insider Deals and probably 80% of the wine I drink comes from them. Great values! "
"Jon, this is a wonderful wine all around. You have become our go-to person for wonderful wines and wine values. Please keep up the excellent job that you're doing! Regards, a very satisfied customer. "
"I opened up our first bottle last weekend and was blown away. "
"Wow!! Just got my shipment. It is absolutely tremendous. "

"Would you happen to be offering this one again anytime soon? I regret not buying more. This was exceptional!"
"I am seriously considering having the Insider Deals as my primary go-to. Why did I not do this sooner? Thank you"

"I love this wine I bought from you!!!! Thanks for doing what do do!!!"
"This an absolutely amazing wine, Jon...You've outdone yourself!"
"Thanks Jon. We already drank all 6 of the first order so we were ecstatic to see you offering it again. My wife and I both love it."
"You are a man after my own heart. I have always looked for the best and least expensive wine and you just made it easier. Cheers!"
"Hi Jon, well, I did something people have warned about - bought 6 bottles and should have bought 12!"
"Have had nothing but great bottles since I started ordering your recommendations. Thanks so much! "
"We've gotten in on three of the deals and have been VERY happy with the value. I originally was going to do a wine club thing but the insider deal appeals to me much more."
"The shipping on the Insider Deals is another great part of the deal. We recently paid $27 to a winery in California to ship 6 bottles (same packaging as the insider deals)....yikes!"
"Just got my 6 bottles and having my first glass. WHY, WHY didn't I buy a case??!!"
"I really missed the boat by only getting four bottles of this offer last month. Should have bought least at a case."
"My wife and I have really enjoyed getting to know new wines (and better than we used to buy!) Thanks for what you do and providing this service!"
"Jon - you have to stop offering all of these amazing deals. My self discipline is fading fast!!"

"Wish I would have ordered more!! It was great. Looking back, I wish I didn’t open it at our annual pool party. It’s gone. **Sob**"
