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.

This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.

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.
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.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
