Omaha Steaks 1917 Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

When the Simon family launched the Private Reserve line of meats nearly 30 years ago, they were inspired by the winemaker practice of releasing “Reserve” wines from the very best vineyards, grapes and vintages. These cuts are the best of the best. Luxurious. Indulgent. And in 2024, they set out to find the very best wine to pair with these coveted cuts…

So, one cold (-30°F) day in January, the Simon and Laithwaite families gathered together in Omaha, Nebraska to do just that. They tasted a range of fine and exceedingly rare wines from around the world. The tasting was conducted "blind” (i.e. the bottles and labels were not shown) and the wines were judged on how well they complemented the steak. In the end, this Cabernet from Napa Valley’s famed Oakville district was the clear winner.

Presenting 1917 Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s named for the year Omaha Steaks was founded—and only 1,917 bottles exist.

This ultra-rare Cabernet Sauvignon hails from Napa Valley’s prestigious Oakville district. Meticulously crafted by the legendary Bill Knuttel with hand-harvested fruit from two elite Oakville vineyards, it was aged in fine French oak barrels for a long 25 months.

The wine brims with sumptuous flavors of blackberry, ripe blueberry, black cherry and hints of cocoa, with a wave of velvety tannins. While delicious now, it will also age beautifully and is perfect for your favorite cut of Private Reserve steak.

Remember, only 1,917 bottles were made (each is individually numbered). Secure yours now before they disappear.
