When all the dust settled, it almost also seemed like a dream. On the heels of an epic 2009 vintage, the 2010 vintage in Bordeaux was otherworldly, good enough for 99-points from Wine Enthusiast, 98-points from Wine Spectator and most people confidently throwing around phrasing such as the ‘Best Ever Vintage in Bordeaux.”
In particular, the Left Bank really shined. Treated to hot, dry conditions, the Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2010 vintage was a dream. Decanter called it, “A truly great vintage, optimally ripe but with firm acidity and tannins.” 2009 showed off elegance and suppleness, but the 2010s were all about power.
Knowing all of this early, the public went nuts – especially those who lost out on precious 2009s and vowed not to make the same mistake twice. All of the best Chateau saw their bottles disappear in records time, and we barely saw 2009s or 2010s a few years after their original release.
But when a sample came on my desk last week with a note that said 2010 Bordeaux, I just assumed it was a joke – one of the suppliers trying to suggest an obscure Chilean Carmenere blend to me but in a humorous way to get my attention. But after reading the label and then popping open the wine, it was unmistakably and unapologetically a 2010… and it was excellent.

Powerful, concentrated wine, a very solid Cabernet-dominated wine. It has dark tannins, the black currant fruit still hiding in the background. Dark and dense, it’s destined for good aging, at least over the next six years.
90 Points, James Suckling
Pretty nose with red cherries, blackberries and tobacco. Chalky mineral notes and new fresh wood. Full and vibrant on the palate with pure fruit and fine tannins. Good length

Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
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.
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
WS #4 2019 Wine of the Year, 96 Points, Wine Spectator
2016 was an incredibly special year in Napa Valley. It was essentially the 5th straight vintage of near perfect-conditions and a lot of the big boys produced some of their biggest, most elegant Cabernets to date. Groth’s was still one of the standouts in any group, a deeply concentrated, weighty Cab with sappy, juicy fruit and a carefully intertwined tannic structure. Absolutely gorgeous.
