The 2019 vintage in Napa Valley is looking like it’s going to be one for the record books with most saying that it’s even better than the 2018s. Those got a 99 point vintage rating from Wine Spectator so 2019 is either on target for a 100 vintage rating or they’re going to have to change the scale.
So it’s been a bit like shooting fish in the barrel for a friend Chad and his clandestine wine project. And after what he’s seen in Willamette Pinot, the kid could use a break.
So unlike many previous vintages of CHAD where he had to scour Napa Valley for a diamond in the rough. This vintage there were hundreds of barrels that were good enough to meet Chad’s exacting standards so he got his picks of the litter and hand’s down has crafted his best Chad Cabernet yet.
Eight barrels made the cut for the final blend, from two nearby south-facing vineyards up in the St. Helena hillsides. The wine from the sister barrels to these eight is currently available with a different label on the front of the bottle for a little more than seventy-five bucks a pop.

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.
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!

“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous
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.
