The legendary winemaker is now firmly in his 70’s (pushing 80?!?) but shows absolutely no signs of slowing down as he continues to rack up ‘Winemaker of the Year’ and ‘Lifetime Achievement’ awards all still within the past few years.
I was blown away when our winemaking friend told me he had a new project – like really blown away. When does this guy rest? What does he even have left to prove?!?
But of course when winemaking is in your blood and you still feel good, you continue to push the boundaries and try to make truly special wines. That’s what Herve Fabre is doing with his new winery, Alta Yari.
Alta Yari was born out of the desire to make the very best Crus from vineyards in his hometown. The goal is to make Alti Yari the greatest wine estate in Argentina and amazingly (though not surprising) he has them on pace.
They’ve made wines at Alta Yari for all of two years and already they’ve been treated to a litany of 91-95 point scores with some of the most beautiful Argentine Red expressions that I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting. Fabre called the Alta Yari estate ‘one of the best he’s found in his 40 years of winemaking in Argentina’. That is not something that I or you should take lightly. That’s not usually the way Herve talks.

91 Points, James Suckling
Aromas of mulberries, violets, blackberries, blackcurrants and tobacco leaves. Fresh, fruity and bright with a medium to full body and creamy tannins. Focused and well-balanced. Drink or hold.
91 Points, Descorchados
This wine manages to display ripe fruit without fatiguing or numbing the tongue. On the other hand—and thanks to a good network of tannins and acidity that provides tension and alleviates the sweetness of the fruit—it’s nervy and agile with enough body and flavors of red fruits and herbs to accompany charcuterie.

The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
94 Points, Tasting Panel
This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
