Bid on a rare and exclusive 6-liter flight of remarkable history and craftsmanship with this unique large format offering of three vintages of Mont St. John Cabernet Sauvignon: 1980, 1981, and 1982!
Nestled at the corner of Old Sonoma Road and Highway 121, Mont St. John Cellars has been a family-owned winery since 1922, originally purchased by Andrea Bartolucci. With over 80 years of experience in grape growing and winemaking, the Bartolucci family proudly holds the distinction of being one of Napa Valley's third-oldest family-run wineries.
The Bartoluccis are dedicated to nurturing their land through 100% organically grown, dry-farmed practices. This approach emphasizes not just the absence of chemicals but also the cultivation of healthy soils and improved fertility, ensuring sustainable farming and high-quality fruit.
This flight includes three carefully preserved 6-liter bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon from the well-regarded vintages of 1980, 1981, and 1982. Each vintage reflects the unique characteristics of its growing season, showcasing the artistry and commitment of the Bartolucci family in every bottle.
Utilizing a dry-farming method, the Bartoluccis allow the vines to develop extensive root systems nourished solely by natural rainwater, resulting in smaller, more concentrated berries with intense varietal characteristics. Experience the complexity and depth that come from these carefully tended grapes.
This auction lot is a rare opportunity to acquire historical vintages from a winery steeped in heritage and committed to quality. Don't miss your chance to bid on this distinctive flight of Mont St. John Cabernet Sauvignon, celebrating the legacy of the Bartolucci family and the rich terroir of Napa Valley!
