About the wine
Classic top-shelf Cabernet from the northern reaches of Wine Country
-
This world-class Cabernet Sauvignon is lavish – full of dark, rich fruit and velvety texture thanks to its cellar age (this is a 2017 vintage - ready for you to drink now!)
-
With The Strasser Collection, Rudy’s on a mission to deliver top-shelf wine to everyday wine drinkers. He uses all the techniques and finesse that made his Diamond Mountain Cabernets iconic, but finds hidden vineyards with a lesser price tag to make them possible.
-
This blend is harvested from a triangle of top-tier vineyards Sonoma, Napa, and blocks just 10 miles north of Calistoga. For helping make this elegant Cabernet possible, you're getting world-famous flavor for just $18.99!
Best before
I do not think this wine needs additional aging. I would have no problem holding on to it for a few years, but would not expect the wine to get significantly better by aging. This is a drink-it-now type of wine.
Serving advice
With a few years of aging behind it already, you'll want to give this Cabernet about an hour or so to breathe and air out after first opening your bottle.
Food match
BBQ flat-iron steak and BBQ oil-rubbed artichokes would be great pairings with this Cab. The wine is versatile enough to go great with almost any meal though.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Rudy von Strasser
Rudy von Strasser is a Napa legend — he played a huge part in founding the Diamond Mountain District, famous for its Cabernet. By rallying everyone in the region, he put the AVA (American Viticultural Area) on the map in 1999!
Rudy met Naked through Alex Farber — he was looking to expand his portfolio with some beautiful Petite Sirah, but didn’t have enough room in his winery.
Angel funding helped make that Petite Sirah possible. When he brought us his other wines, we knew we’d hit the jackpot! Rudy’s now able to share his wide range of Diamond Mountain District wines with Angels across the country.
