“The 2013 Dominus is, to my way of thinking, one of the most profound wines Christian Moueix has yet made in his rather brilliant winemaking history, both in France and in Napa Valley. This wine, with very low yields of only 3,500 cases and a final blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, offers up notes of cedar wood, forest floor, loamy soil and oodles of blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. Very opaque purple in color, super-pure and intense, this wine has low acidity, but ripe, noticeable tannins. This is a 30- to 40-year wine and a profound effort from this famous vineyard in Yountville. Drink it over the next 40+ years.” – Robert Parker, Jr.
This year, the Eastside Cuvee hails from a primo vineyard just off the Silverado Trail– perfectly positioned next to neighbors Caymus and Frog’s Leap and just down the road, Quintessa. Amongst the elite, Carl Roy’s team locked into some incredible fruit, with gorgeous blackberry jammy opulence, firm grippy tannins and that signature Rutherford earthiness to the finish that many try to emulate but can only be produced off the special soil from which this beauty was created.
Drawn from two choice spots in the critically scorching hot Columbia Valley where Washington’s high desert land meets the Columbia River – the newly released 2019 Cascade Heights is a juicy, inky purple, full-bodied Cabernet that’s ready to go. There’s still a lot of tension here that argues for a successful drinking window of over 10+ years, but it’s already big and juicy and drinking so well right now. The ‘X’ factor as always is the price. Anne Sery can bring value no one else seems to be able to bring.
It’s good to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! Our relationship with the Wagner family has given us seconds while many others still way for firsts. These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook Caymus in a great year in Napa. This might be their best rendition in a decade. Wine Spectator called this one a “rich and showy style”.

“Zeroes in on a rich, hedonistic core of wild berry, blackberry, plum and currant, with a graceful, elegant mouthfeel and supple, caressing tannins leading to a long, powerful and refined aftertaste that keeps reverberating while maintaining a strong personality. Drink now through 2030.”
Chad called me just a stone’s throw from Shafer with news that for the first time ever – he had finally hit pay-dirt in Stag’s Leap, with a single-vineyard Reserve Cabernet. I didn’t believe him. But, the wine is made from a vineyard more than hundred years old and a part of dozens of historic Stag’s Leap Cabernets, so in fact, Chad really did hit paydirt in Stag’s Leap in 2019. Packed with fruit – cranberry waves atop blackberry all balanced along a tightrope of acidity and a huge aging potential, this wine clearly belongs among the top wines of the Valley.

“The 2012 Napanook (a 3,000-case blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot) is one of the strongest second wines Moueix has produced to date. Made in a sexy, open-knit, opulent style very much in keeping with the vintage’s signature, it offers up luscious notes of bay leaf, lavender, red and blackcurrants, plum sauce, licorice and Christmas fruitcake. This is a gorgeous, opulent, medium to full-bodied 2012 that is already revealing considerable complexity. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.” -Robert Parker, Jr.

Double Canyon continues to prove themselves amongst the best producers in Washington State with their third consecutive vintage of at least a 92 point score for this Cabernet. The 2017 Horse Hills comes roaring right out of the gates with beautiful, clean red fruits. On the attack, the wine offers intricately woven youthful tannins that give the wine a delicious and slightly chewy taste.

The world’s most notable critic, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, declared, “Some of the 2018’s are potential career wines and the wines from DuMol are the best I have ever tasted.” Wine Enthusiast clearly agreed. The 2018 DuMol Napa Valley Cabernet that Smith crafted is straight otherworldly. It’s highly perfumed with intense notes of a medley of dark fruits: wild blackberry, plum, huckleberry with a touch of sage & spice. The fresh fruits parade continues on the palate with black cherries and crushed cassis giving way to more complex notes of tobacco and dark chocolate.

With Herve and Fabre Montmayou wracking up NYT features, huge scores, gold medals and lifetime achievement awards, I’m left with one choice: get in now or be left in the cold. Waiting for the scores to roll in is a luxury that we know longer have with Fabre Montmayou. Good for the winery, but not so good for us. Rest assured though, the 2020 Cabernet Franc Herve sent me is fantastic, and will surely be minted with the same kind of high-flying praise as the vintage before it. But by that time, you’ll only have a bottle or two left in the cellar.

If you’re looking for the best, affordable Thanksgiving wine, let me introduce you to this little treat courtesy of the Torres Family. A juicy and yet silky Cabernet Sauvignon dominate blend that also features Tempranillo and is just about as inviting as a wine gets. This is an unrivaled Spanish value. Black jammy fruits perfectly laced together with firm, chewy tannins, this wine has so much balance and poise and offers a slightly sweet finish capped off with a hint of well-integrated oak and a touch of spice from the Tempranillo.
In the excellent 2016 vintage in Napa, winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) had little work to do. With ideal weather conditions throughout harvest, clusters came in dark and juicy from both the Coombsville and Rutherford Vineyards where this delicious Napa Valley Cab was crafted from. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. This is a steal for the price.
