Today’s wine is something truly special. I did my own digging and managed to dig up my own NDA-worthy Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet.
While trying to branch out and find the next great thing in the region, I stumbled upon a single barrel of some of the most lush Cabernet I’ve tasted in ages. The only hitch is I could have it, but it had to be labeled to protect the winery from which it came.
So you won’t find any information on this wine anywhere. It’s exclusive to us and only a single barrel was made – 24 cases. (If you know how barrel math goes – you’ll notice there’s one missing!)
The 2020 Capablanca Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet is a deep dark purple and features a surprisingly vibrant nose of fresh blackberry, violets, and creme de cassis. The mouth is full-bodied and plush, round and juicy with a core of black currant and a kiss of oak.

The Adaptation Cabernet allows superstar winemaker Jeff Owens to make a Cabernet with other Bordeaux varietals from a collection of the top vineyards from across the valley. This is PlumpJack’s “Quilt” so to speak. It features Cabernet along the Silverado Trail in Stag’s Leap from their own Odette Vineyards as well as Heitz’s Trailside Vineyard, to go with fruit from St. Helena, Chaix’s vineyard in Rutherford, Merlot form mountainous terrain of Howell Mountain, along with fruit from Oak Knoll, and Carneros. Together, this blend comes together effortlessly Owens, who has woven a particularly juicy, dark-fruited Cab that will knock peoples’ socks off.

“Absolutely pure gold and reminding me of the 2009 (or is it the 2010?), the 2020 Château Smith Haut Lafitte sports a dense purple hue to go with incredible aromatics of blackberries, blueberries, scorched earth, wood smoke, and acacia flowers. One of the most concentrated, rich, and sexy wines in the vintage, this massive and extraordinarily opulent 2020 shows the vintage’s pure, elegant profile yet backs it up with sensational levels of fruit and texture. Based on 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it already offers pleasure given its wealth of fruit, but it deserves 7-8 years of bottle age and will evolve for 40-50 years. Not enough can be said about the quality of these wines.”

96 Points, Galloni – Vinous – 94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
“The 2020 Franc-Mayne is an exotic, heady wine. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, licorice and espresso lend an air of dark, sepia-toned beauty throughout. Plush, silky and generous, the 2020 is wonderfully deep and layered. Those qualities continue to emerge effortlessly over time. This ample Saint-Émilion has so much to offer.”
97 Points, Vinous – 96 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
Ric’s 2019 Cab from the outrageously good vintage in Napa is in my mind nearly perfect. It’s an incredible feat. It’s attached to two super high scores, but that’s not surprising given that Ric is a winemaking legend and has been called, “Napa’s first superstar winemaker.” Antonio Galloni of Vinous gave it a 97 and said the wine “possesses remarkable textural intensity”. Dunnuck chipped in with a 96 and predicted the wine, “should continue drinking brilliantly for another two decades”. Pure class.
