Calling it the best Provenance Cab he had tasted to date, Robert Parker awarded 94 points to the 2013 vintage of this wine. He has not yet reviewed this 2014 release but we have, and we like it!

At our blows-them-all-away price of $27.99, this is one for Napa Cab lovers to jump on in a big way. Revealing loads of intense, in-your-face Napa Cabernet flavor, the 2014 Provenance is a BIG wine with the structure to back it up. Youthful oak  notes of toast, black pepper and charred vanilla bean lead the way. The fruits are deliciously broad and include plum, currant and cassis. Though this Cabernet is primarily about ripeness, there is a dusty/clay earth note beneath the fruit and oak adding further complexity. What is most exciting is the fresh and balanced palate and the impressive length.  

Despite ringing in at a powerful 14.9% ABV - which, believe it or not, is down 0.3% from the 2013 vintage - this Rutherford Cab goes down easy. The tannins are supple, the acidity is nicely balanced and the overall experience is simply oh-so-smooth.

Pop the cork and this one is good from the get-go, but a quick splash in a decanter will make things even better. Though it is drinking great in the vibrancy of its youth, you may also want to stash away a few bottles of this tongue-stainer so you can enjoy it as a mature wine 3 to 10 years down the road.

Looking online we found 42 listings with a median price of $40. At twelve bucks a bottle less, today's blowout price beats every single one of those listings!
