The ultimate Napa cult winery, BOND, is a partnership by two of the most revered men in American wine, Bill Harlan and his winemaker Bob Levy. The two were at Merryvale together, making wine using more than 50 vineyards in the Napa Valley. Eventually though, Bill sold, but along with Bob, they kept five vineyard sites for a new project, one that no one could have predicted would be as big as it has become.
In Bond, Bill Harlan is able to create some of the most amazing Cabernets in the world and truly America’s answer to Bordeaux. The wines are huge, this one in particular Robert Parker, Jr. called a “30 year wine”. James Suckling took it a step further though bestowing perfect marks on the wine and calling it the best single-vineyard wine from Bond in the phenomenal 2010 vintage in Napa. Considering some of the others fetch over $1000/btl, it’s pretty high praise. This wine is every bit deserving of it. Its perfection is abundantly clear.

This is the best single-vineyard cabernet sauvignon-based red from Bond in this vintage, showing incredible purity of fruit and seamless tannins and refinement. Amazing. Better from 2018 on.

Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.

The oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous
