Due to tiny yields, bored international collectors, and a record-high yuan upon release – these will be hard wines to come by at reasonable prices. As every top critic was careful to lay out, due to near perfect conditions at harvest, 2016 is a vintage that is simply fantastic from “top to bottom,” making not only for 100-pointers that will age gracefully for 4 decades, but also for magnificent “sleepers” from the Right Bank’s off the radar estates.
And there are a good number of truly off-the-radar estates that make delicious wine but in quantities too small to catch the consistent interest of US importers like today’s stunning Grand Moulin Macquin. Perhaps no estate is more off the radar and with just 6 hectares under vine, most vintages very few cases even make it stateside.
And what about the 2016? Only 40 six-packs imported for the entire country! – all earmarked for Nicholas Wines. Bold and plush – with bright blueberries – held up by thin tight tannin. The finish is long and refined.

The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
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 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.”
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
