About the wine
90+ point Napa Red
- A luxurious Rutherford Merlot that just drips with dark fruit and tantalyzes your palate for days and days with a dangerously smooth finish. This is what Napa is all about.
- Ken is a Founding Father of Napa Valley wines and he knows where to go to get the best fruit –this is a vineyard he knew about back when he worked at Joseph Phelps and Flora Springs.
- We held onto this wine longer than a lot of our Angel-funded reds so that it would be ready to drink when it hit your kitchen table, approachable and lush compared to a lot of 2013 Napa wines.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ken Deis
Years Angel-funded: 2012-2022
- Ken has more 90+ scores from Parker, Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast than he can name – there's just too many to count. He's the man behind Napa's greatest hits.
- He'd spent decades working in some of Napa's most prestigious wineries including Joseph Phelps, Flora Springs, and Heitz before becoming Naked's first Napa winemaker. What a LEGEND he's been for you!
- Ken has devoted a lifetime to perfecting his craft, and his wines are the proof. When Ken crafts Cabernet, he delivers. When Ken hankers for Merlot, he nails it. Whatever he sets out to do, you can trust it's flawless.
