Happy Harry’s Direct Offer No. 54

Louis M. Martini

Louis M. Martini has been producing high-quality wines for over 90 years, crafting exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon from the legendary vineyards of Napa Valley.

In 1899, 12-year-old Louis M. Martini set out from Genoa to work for his father’s seafood business in San Francisco. As he grew older, he became increasingly eager to start a business of his own. This ambition led him to Napa Valley in 1933, where he built his winery, becoming one of only five winemakers to do so at the Repeal of Prohibition. He selected Napa for a single, simple reason: its unmatched grape quality. Driven by a keen understanding of Napa’s potential, he started acquiring vineyards and recognized Cabernet Sauvignon as the most promising variety. Over the decades, Louis M. would create wines that reflected their unique sense of place. He recognized the quality of the terroir long before others in purchasing the Monte Rosso Vineyard in 1936, and was among the first to bottle vintage varietal wine.

The gryphon on every bottle is the traditional symbol of the town of Genoa, Italy, the birthplace of Louis Martini. It also symbolizes wisdom, courage, and leadership, qualities inherent in Louis M. Martini wines.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be able to taste or cellar these exceptional Cabernet offerings from the vault of Louis M. Martini—a must-have for any collector!

Louis M. Martini Lot 1—2018

Lot No. 1 is hand-harvested, hand-sorted and fermented in small open-top tanks and aged in 36-month air dried French oak. This longer drying time encourages rich tannin structure throughout the duration of the wine’s 19 months in barrel (88% new).

Very deep purple-black, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Lot 1 explodes from the glass with vibrant black cherries, mulberries and redcurrant jelly scents followed by a core of crème de cassis, cedar chest and roses plus hints of chocolate box and fragrant earth. Full-bodied, the palate delivers impactful, mouth-coating black fruits with a firm structure of grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long with some mineral sparks coming through.
