For over three decades, Karl Lawrence Cellars has operated strictly as an insider, word-of-mouth secret. With no flashy tasting room and zero marketing bloat, every single penny goes directly into the juice. This is the exact same outfit that has historically bottled fruit from the absolute Mount Rushmore of Napa terroirs—including Gary Morisoli, Herb Lamb, Beckstoffer To Kalon, and Dr. Crane. Today, we are opening the vault on an exclusive VIP allocation of their sensational 2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

Winemaker Bruce Devlin built this voluptuous blend using two historic heritage sites he knows intimately. The core relies on the Pocai Vineyard in Calistoga, where the warm valley floor delivers a rich, deeply concentrated core of plush boysenberry and black currant. To balance that opulence, he layers in fruit from the Fig Tree Vineyard at the base of Howell Mountain, injecting the wine with real structure, fresh acidity, and complex undertones of crushed graphite. Thoughtfully aged in premium French oak that acts as a supporting frame rather than a mask, it adds faint traces of mocha and baking spice without ever weighing down the decadent fruit. This is elite, velvet-textured Napa royalty at an incredible insider value.
