Secret Cellar: Napa Edition

  • The Oenophile Institute 1295 W Spring St Smyrna, GA, 30080 United States (map)

Perfect for vintage wine lovers, and anyone who enjoys a night where the unknown is part of the appeal.

Some bottles wait for the right moment. This is one of them.

Napa gets talked about at release, then it is drank young or disappears into cellars for a decade or two. When it comes back out, it is a different wine. The fruit settles. The oak folds in. The structure reveals itself. The whole reason people cellared these bottles in the first place finally shows up in the glass.

This is a secret cellar edition, which means the exact lineup stays quiet until pour time. What we can tell you is that the bottles have been earning their keep in storage, several of them for longer than most drinkers have been paying attention to Napa; maybe even longer than you've been alive. We taste through the flight, cover why aged Napa drinks the way it does, and walk through what separates the wines built for the long game from the ones better opened young.
