When you get to taste the 2016 Carl Roy Napa Valley Cabernet blend, you might just stand and applaud. It’s as good of a deal as anything we’ve offered this year. The guys at Carl Roy know where to find the deals as they are a label of opportunity, the opportunity to put a $50-$60 wine in the bottle to sell at $25. So, when Carl Roy knocks, I always open the door….
The 2016 Napa Valley Eastside Cuvee is a classic Napa red, black in color with a dynamic nose of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The wine is fabulously concentrated with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging. The price is just ridiculous. The raw ingredients, (the fruit, barrels, consulting winemaker…) add up to a $45-50 wine.
But this wine is less than $25 per bottle on case purchases. Just about 50% off. If you are a lover of hedonistically fruity, powerful Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, this is the deal you cannot miss.

2016 in the Napa Valley was a terrific year for Cabernet. A dry, warm spring was followed by a cool, dry summer, allowing for incredibly slow, even development of aromas and flavors, a picture-perfect vintage. Harvest began in mid-October providing grapes with unusual “hang-time”. Selected from vineyards just south of Oakville, the wine is full of rich red and black fruit, punctuated by the fine acid backbone of this extraordinary vintage. The 2016 is a special Cabernet based blend, super-charged with some old vine, low ph Petit Verdot that makes lends a powerful kick in fruit and structure but with a stony freshness that makes it both great at the table and a candidate for short term aging. – Chef Nicholas

95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck – 95 Points, Lisa Perotti-Brown
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.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
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.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
