My conversations with Chad are always a mix of the limbo and 21 questions, with Chad hula hooping through each answer, giving me hints while staying on the right side of the law. “From where I’m standing, I can see ….” Similar to …., but add 20 years to the age of the vines…” You get the picture.
So this year, when Chad told me he had something truly special that he was going to call the Chad Sonoma Mountain Private Reserve – I know this was a wine from the most rarefied of air. We went through our usual song and dance until I was both confident where the wine came from, and more importantly– how much I could divulge in my write-up for you.
Yes, this Bordeaux blend came from one of the few and special vineyards on Sonoma Mountain. No, I can’t tell you the name– but I can tell you that the vineyard is widely considered to be the very best old-patch, old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vineyard in the Mayacamas Mountains.
Okay, that’s all you get– that’s all you need to know really.

The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
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.
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.
