2022 Commission Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 750 ml

In the fall of 2020, one of our wildest ideas came to fruition. Inspired by iconic bottlings like Mouton Rothschild and Leeuwin Estate’s Art Series, we launched an exclusive Cabernet from NDA-protected sites—with a one-of-a-kind work of art on the label. 

We called it “Commission,” and the entire production disappeared as soon as we released it. Then the emails started. Scores of members—many who’d missed out and even more who’d loved the wine and wanted to restock—wrote in to see whether we had any more Commission Cabernet socked away somewhere. 

With the 2022, we’ve taken it to a new level. It’s a 100-point master’s interpretation of an excellent Napa site and vintage, and the lesson from our first offer of Commission is clear: This will likely be your only shot at this custom-crafted collectible. 

This is made by a Napa legend—a superstar who helmed one of the valley’s iconic, $500-per-bottle icons for well over a decade, then moved to a new project that instantly became a collectible, with multiple perfect scores. The 2022 Commission comes from one of their top-end winery clients, with barrels straight from the cellar to this art-adorned bottle.

For the unique label of this edition, we worked with artist Blake Barrios, whose pen-and-ink drawing invites contemplation. Blake has done custom work for Sir Paul McCartney, Carlos Santana, Snoop Dogg, and Lenny Kravitz, and it’s thrilling to get to work with him here—just as thrilling as what’s in the bottle.
