Cult Alert! A 97 Point 2015 “Pauillac-Like” California Cab That Flirts With Perfection

Calling all California Cabernet lovers! This is a deal you don’t want to miss! Today, we’re featuring the 97 point 2015 Capture Cabernet Sauvignon Revelation, a super limited production Cabernet from northern Sonoma county with only 217 cases made.

Owner and winemaker, Denis Malbec, was actually born at Chateau Latour where his family had worked for the famous Pauillac first growth while growing up. Denis honed his skills as the Cellar Master at Chateau Latour from 1994 – 2000.

In 2000, after a visit to California, he decided to make the move to the US permanent. Malbec was the winemaker for Kapcsandy and Blankiet before launching Capture, which sits 3,000 feet above sea level in the Mayacamas mountains. Sadly, Denis Malbec suddenly passed away in 2016, and the property has been recently sold.

Revelation, with its “Pauillac-like” characteristics, is the signature wine of Capture. With only 217 cases produced, we were able to secure the last 60 cases of this highly-rated, 2015 Cabernet that was not part of the sale to the new owners.

Wine critic Jeb Dunnuck gave this wine a 97 point score and wrote the following glowing review: “A blend of the favorite blocks (14 and 18) of the estate vineyard and 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Revelation is another wine from Sam Teakle that flirts with perfection. Awesome cassis, graphite, crushed rocks, and Pauillac-like lead pencil notes all flow to a full-bodied, deep, sexy Cabernet Sauvignon that has sweet tannin, no hard edges, and a blockbuster finish. As with the Harmonie cuvée, it’s going to keep for 10-15 years or more." - JD
