Ken Deis Napa Valley Cabernet/Merlot 2011
About the wine
Wine of the Week
- Ken Deis has been making top Napa Cabs for over thirty years, amassing 90+ scores and gold medals like they were nothing. This is a sure fire iconic Napa wine.
- This wine is the reason Naked came to the US. When we realized that a $50 bottle of Napa Cabernet costs $10 to make, and we can sell it for $15, we knew we had no choice but to get in on the ground floor
- This is a hallmark of American winemaking and you'll just be kicking yourself if you don't get a few bottles of this wine!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ken Deis
Years Angel-funded: 2012-2022
- Ken has more 90+ scores from Parker, Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast than he can name – there's just too many to count. He's the man behind Napa's greatest hits.
- He'd spent decades working in some of Napa's most prestigious wineries including Joseph Phelps, Flora Springs, and Heitz before becoming Naked's first Napa winemaker. What a LEGEND he's been for you!
- Ken has devoted a lifetime to perfecting his craft, and his wines are the proof. When Ken crafts Cabernet, he delivers. When Ken hankers for Merlot, he nails it. Whatever he sets out to do, you can trust it's flawless.
