672 Napa Valley Wine Club Is Shipping 3 Superb Cabs in June 2026
As summer officially begins, Robb Report 672 Napa Valley Wine Club is currently shipping out a trio of Cabernet Sauvignons from Napa Valley. If you want to get in on bottles from small family producers that outshine many of the big names, now is the moment to join the club. This quarter’s selection consists of one Cab from Mount Veeder, one from Spring Mountain, and one from top vineyards throughout Napa Valley. One of the four shipments that members receive throughout the year, these bottlings are the result of months of effort by club director Dave Shefferman, who is the ultimate wine country insider. As always, he worked his contacts up and down the valley to source amazing wine from producers who if not quite unknown are only familiar to frequent valley visitors.
The only wine club that exclusively delivers Napa Valley red wine to members, Club 672 takes its name from the number of bottles contained on a standard pallet of wine. Whether selections are sourced from top sites throughout the valley or are from a single exceptional vineyard, all are made in small quantities, often just a handful of barrels. Shefferman casts a wide net among winemakers, vintners, and brokers in his quest to buy bottles that would normally be sold to wineries’ private club members. The never-ending scouting process involves meeting with winery owners, tasting with winemakers, and attending events in the search for bottles each quarter. While many wine clubs employ a single buyer who makes all purchasing decisions, Shefferman blind tastes the best wines with a tasting panel consisting of sommeliers, winemakers, and industry members with WSET credentials. From hundreds of potential selections, the group narrows the offerings down so that only the best make it to the final round of possibilities. Blind tasting removes preconceived notions about the brand, winemaker, or even label design, narrowing the focus to wine quality and nothing else.
We then blind taste the wines and help to determine the three that will be sent to members once Shefferman and his team have reduced the potential selections to around 20 options. (Full disclosure, we also write the tasting cards that are included with each shipment as well as the club site producer profiles, but we do not receive any additional compensation from the wine club.) This quarter’s choices are a trio of true insider bottlings, exactly the type of Cabernets that those with a taste for the bold Napa Valley style crave. Each six-bottle pack, shipped four times a year, is priced at between $550 and $650, including shipping, for an average price of $100 per bottle. With two bottles of each on hand, you can open one now and lay the second down to mature gracefully for a few more years. Looking at the price of the majority of Napa Cabs, this is an unbelievable deal for limited quantity, under-the-radar bottlings. Here’s what members are receiving this summer.

Stereograph 2023 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Image Credit: Stereograph Winemaker Sally Johnson Blum has spent nearly 30 years crafting wines in Napa and Sonoma. She has received two perfect 100-point scores from Robert Parker and has had three wines on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines in the World list, but she is probably most proud to be named by Glamour magazine as one of “13 Badass Female Winemakers.” Made with grapes from Volker Eisele, Blackbird, Renteria 360, Langtry, and True Dog vineyards, this wine was aged for 18 months in 60 percent new French oak, and the final blend was assembled eight months before bottling. It has aromas of blueberry, violet petal, pencil lead, ripe cherry, and dried Mediterranean herbs. Bold and round in the mouth, it offers firm tannins and flavors of plum, raspberry, cassis, cocoa powder, and tobacco leaf. While it is drinking nicely right now a few more years of cellaring can only improve the flavors and aromas.

Schweiger Vineyards 2019 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Image Credit: Schweiger Vineyards Andrew Schweiger’s family planted vines in the late 1970s and had their first harvest in 1984. For years most of their grapes were sold to other producers but in 1999 the family decided to keep them for their own label. Schweiger worked harvests every summer before starting college and then studied viticulture at University of California at Davis, graduating in 1993. Made with 97 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 2 percent Merlot, and 1 percent Cabernet Franc from the Spring Mountain District AVA, this wine was made using indigenous yeast and matured in 55 percent new French oak for 32 months before bottling. Dark garnet colored, it offers aromas of brown baking spices, black raspberry, cassis, dark cherry, and black plum. Silky tannins are wrapped around flavors of blackberry, black currant, crushed violet petal, and cherry, with a closing note of clove. The finish goes on and on. Drink through 2039.

Anthem Winery and Vineyards 2019 Mount Veeder Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Image Credit: Anthem Anthem Winery and Vineyards proprietor and CEO Julie Arbuckle and her husband planted six acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot high on a hillside ridge in the Mt. Veeder AVA. Farmed using sustainable practices that shape every decision from field to bottle, vineyard management is under the direction of John Truchard, who credits his knowledge of farming to Napa legends Andre Tchelistcheff, Joe Heitz, and Warren Winiarski. Winemaker Jeff Ames trained with Thomas Rivers Brown and began working at Tor wines in 2003—where he continues to this day—and began making wines for Anthem in 2009. Aged for 18 months in 100 percent new French oak this wine was bottled un-fined and un-filtered. It has aromas of black plum, cassis, ripe cherry, and baking spices. It is bold and voluptuous with velvety tannins and flavors of black currant, black cherry, plum, and nutmeg with a touch of espresso bean in the enduring finish. Drink within 15 years.
