100% organic in practice since 2000 and certified in 2016, I like the “Go Big or Go Home” style of friend and winemaker, Alessandro Castellani. He uses zero chemical products anywhere on the farm or in the cellar, raises and breeds native Brogna sheep that keep the vines clear of weeds and provide “magical” natural fertilizer and plants a cover crop that is then tilled under to provide nitrogen and carbon to the soil. It’s 20 times the amount of work as conventional farming, it’s amazing it is not 20x the conventional price….
I also like the “go big or go home” style of the 2016 Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore Malavoglia. This “baby Amarone” has a deep, crimson-red color and absolutely blasts from the glass at the first pour. The nose is wild, with earth-tinged dried cherry, fig, dark chocolate and cedar leading to a packed core of juicy fruit flavors. The finish is long and fresh, speaking to the limestone-affected soil Alessandro’s old vines are rooted in.

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.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! 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, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
