Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
Showstopping Cabernet Sauvignon from a Napa legend
-
When the great Rudy von Strasser bought a small vineyard in Napa’s Diamond Mountain District region in 1990, his goal was to make Cabernet Sauvignon in the classic old-world style he’d learned early in his career at Chateau Lafite Rothschild, but using new world grapes, technology and equipment.
-
40 years of winemaking experience have produced a full-bodied, elegant Cabernet Sauvignon that has excellent longevity but is already tasting fabulous. It’s flush with ripe fruit flavours - cherries, plums and raspberries - plus a touch of vanilla from French oak ageing.
-
A 13-time winner of Wines and Spirits magazine’s ‘Winery of the Year’, legends don’t come much bigger across the pond than Rudy. Having already wowed US Angels with his kit, he’s over the moon to finally be sharing wines like this Napa Valley Cab with UK Angels too.

Serving advice
If you are opening this in its youth, it will benefit from 1-2 hours of decanting. As the wine ages, decanting should be limited to removal of sediments - as the aromatics can change quickly.
Food match
Because of the chewy tannin structure, this wine can pair with any food from fish meat to vegan. One of Rudy's favourite pairings is with salmon, fried with no oil, in a non-stick pan... "As the salmon cooks, its own oils will coat the pan and create a concentrated sauce".

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.
