Carl Roy East Side Cuvee Napa Valley 2024

My wife and I first discovered the Carl Roy “East Side Cuvee” at my old stomping grounds, Restaurant Jean-Georges at One Central Park West. That was years and years ago, but even then, the cost of the bottle went for a whole lot more than it does today on Nicholas Wines! It was worth every penny, though, and I’ve never seen it disappoint a customer. It’s been a while, but we’re finally back with a new vintage, and I have the best price in the country for this outstanding Napa Valley Cabernet.

This is my first offering of Carl Roy East Side Cuvee since the fantastic 2021 vintage. The team at Carl Roy doesn’t make a Cab every year—they’re that selective. They backed off making a 2022 and were about to pull the trigger on the 2023 vintage when they realized that the healthy 2024 crop somehow offered them even more possibilities to source great Napa Valley fruit.
