Royal Prince
Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
2021 • Napa Valley, California
Serious Napa Reserve Cabernet with genuine bench strength, disciplined score support, and unusually favorable price architecture. Royal Prince brings together David Green’s Napa brand-building pedigree and Maayan Koschitzky’s winemaking credibility to deliver a bottle that reads far above its current wholesale offer.
Credible Napa Reserve, sharpened by a rare commercial window.
This offer matters because the story is unusually easy to trust. The wine comes with recognized critical support, a boutique Napa bench, a limited 2,500-case production, and a 2021 vintage framed by Decanter as a five-star year for Napa Cabernet. That would already make it useful. At a private trade pricing wholesale bottle price, it becomes a compelling hand-sell rather than just another Napa label with expensive aspirations.
Wholesale bottle price sits well below both the observed public market reference and the official SRP, without sacrificing Napa credibility.
Concentration, structure, and age-worthiness define the vintage. The release can sell on both immediate drinkability and cellar promise.
Decanter and Tasting Panel both support the wine at 94 points, giving buyers clean third-party validation from recognized trade-facing sources.
The people and sourcing model give the bottle its authority.
The Bench
Royal Prince is the partnership of David Green and Maayan Koschitzky. Green brings senior Napa operating and growth experience across Dana Estates, Lancaster Estate, Joel Gott, and Lede Family. Koschitzky brings instant cellar credibility through Royal Prince and his role at Atelier Melka, giving the brand a winemaking voice buyers can quickly understand.
The Model
The sourcing story is what makes the value believable. Royal Prince is built around privileged access to top-performing vineyard sources and surplus Napa lots that would otherwise remain hidden inside more expensive programs. The result is not generic “value Cab,” but a Reserve wine with real Napa structure, polish, and pedigree.
Fast buyer read.
Dark fruit, graphite, and savory control.
This is a polished Reserve Cabernet built around blackberry, cassis, plum skin, tobacco leaf, graphite, sage, violets, and cocoa. The fruit is ripe, but the finish stays structured and savory enough to avoid heaviness. It sells best as a Napa Cabernet with shape, not just size.
Classic Steak au Poivre
Why it works: Pepper, char, and cream echo the wine’s graphite, black-fruit depth, and fine-grained tannic frame.
Lamb Shoulder Chops with Red Wine
Why it works: The wine’s savory herb, cocoa, and earth notes settle naturally into slow-cooked lamb and reduced red-wine jus.
Also works well with … ribeye, mushroom jus, winter braises, and peppered sauces.
Fast, practical, and built for sell-in.
