MARATHON MADNESS Starts in More
Charger Red Blend Paso Robles 2019
93 POINTS! A melon-whomping 68% OFF, and a pedigree that includes time learning from two of Napa’s modern-day masters – Russell Bevan and Jason Moore!!! Not $60, not $40, not even $25…go lower!!! Rhone Rangers, California gold-seekers, if you like them ripe, round, and devilishly profound…go get ‘em!!!
PASO ROBLES in da house! 70% grenache, 25% syrah, and 5% mourvèdre, and 112% DELICIOUS! Weston Eidson, well-known for his Montagu, Silver Ghost & Tempus Fugit wines, is the phenom behind this truly jaw-dropping Rhone blend. After some globe-hopping in Chile, South Africa, Bordeaux, Veneto, and more...he settled in the Napa Valley, cutting some razor-sharp teeth working under the legendary Russell Bevan (with too many 95-100-point scores to count), and Jason Moore of Modus Operandi (who nabbed some pretty awesome 97+ and 98 point scores himself recently). But never mind them…let’s focus on THIS!
Holy moly, what planet did THIS sexy beast come from? For UNDER $20?!?! There we were, sipping quietly, when all of a sudden it was like that ninja fight in Kill Bill – with all the baddies crashing into the warehouse and attacking our palates from all sides – this thing is da bomb! A whirling dervish stacked with deep, sweet, juicy, ripe, black/red/blue fruits of the Rhonish nature, some silky, chocolatey horchata spice, and bright, polished, and penetrating crumbled stone accents giving spine and substance to all. It’s full, yet not heavy, with baby-smooth edges that make this extra sultry on the finish. All that is to say – it’s yummy, and you should totally drop everything for the next sixty seconds until you get some. I mean — did you see our price?? You did, right?
Weston only works with top vineyards, so if nothing is mentioned (like with this baddy), you just KNOW it’s good. We all tasted it and WE know it is good. $60 at the winery, and totally worthy. But for UNDER $20?!?! You know what to do.
** I’m so old I even hurt myself watching sports these days…a few exuberant cheers, one twist-and-run to catch a breakaway and my back is sizzling like an over-cooked steak. I used to dream of raising the cup one day – now I doubt I even could! Where’s my wine? And get off my lawn!!! **

“Made by Weston Edison, who has worked with Jason Moore and Russell Bevan. A flashy and expansive red from Paso Robles with nice violet floral notes, black cherry fruit, and Mexican chocolate. Round, rich, and palate-penetrating with sweet dark berry fruits tinged with salty slate notes, balanced, satiny tannins, and a lengthy finish marked by more crushed stone minerals.”

“This rich and ultimately quite satisfying Rhône blend is hitting its prime drinking window right now, so enjoy soon. Warm aromas of vanilla, caramel and baked berry are cut by asphalt and black pepper on the nose. Those lush spices carry through the gingerbread-laced palate, where cinnamon-spiked pastry flavors are awash in blackberry syrup and milk chocolate.”

About The Producer
Montagu’s namesake is British automotive pioneer, Lord John Montagu of Beaulieu, the great-grandfather of founder Weston Eidson. Lord Montagu was the first person to drive an automobile to Parliament and here’s a fun fact: Lord Montagu’s assistant was the model for the Rolls-Royce Hood ornament, Spirit of Ecstasy! Since 2012, Eidson has been channeling his ancestor’s innovative and adventurous spirit through their wines, with holdings across Napa Valley and Sonoma, spanning across the Russian River Valley, Healdsburg, Carneros, and the Pacific Coast. Montagu wines is focused on crafting limited-production wines with minimal intervention in the winery. This philosophy yields stellar juice that expresses the world-class terroir it hails from. Learning from meteors Jason Moore and Russel Bevan, Eidson’s wines are richly layered, complex, and balanced.
