In the 2018 vintage in Napa, a vintage that Forbes’ Tom Hyland called “a truly outstanding vintage”, Groth’s Oakville Cabernet is absolutely gorgeous. It’s remarkably fresh, with great acidity and tannic structure and plenty of ageability. Antonio Galloni didn’t stop at just calling the wine “fabulous” , going as far to say that the wine “shows the important strides that have been made [at Groth] in recent years.”
Their 2022 Chablis is drop-dead gorgeous. There’s a reason that Jean-Georges’ Fulton, Daniel Boulud’s Bar Boulud, and the Oceans right near Gramercy Park all pour this wine by-the-glass. It absolutely delights those who drink it. There’s so much to love, with its incredible vibrancy that leads to a rich core with flinty tautness and sapid minerality. On the nose, you get stone fruits with floral notes and with lemon pudding flavors that unite with a persistent oyster-shell minerality and back-palate tang that epitomize what Marcel Fèvre recognized in these hillsides a century ago.

The 2021 Derthona Timorasso is absolutely gorgeous. As Wine Enthusiast writes, “Timorasso is one of the most distinctive white grapes in the Italian canon, and Vietti has struck gold.” The wine is perfectly in balance, harmonious stone fruits, honey, beeswax and straw notes mingle perfectly with stony minerality and some delicious salty flavors.

Sitting just above the fog line, Fog Break Vineyard is perfectly protected from the harsh valley breezes. The vineyard retains the heart from the early morning sun throughout the day. The additional warmth, paired with the vineyard’s shallow iron-rich soils, come together to create a distinctive flavor profile that is concentrated, complex, and classically structured.
