With vineyard plantings as early as 1540, Chateau La Mission Haut Brion has deep roots in the Pessac-Leognan subregion of Bordeaux. In the 1959 Graves Classification, it was given a Cru designate, the 2nd highest to First Growths.
The chateau is situated right next to their 1st growth neighbor, Chateau Haut Brion although both Chateaus have been owned by the Dillon Family since 1983. Each vintage, the two chateaus battle for bragging rights. Although Chateau Haut Brion wines are certified First Growths and fetch upwards of $1,000/btl, it is not uncommon to see Chateau La Mission’s wines scored higher in some vintages, having earned a perfect 100-point score from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate in six different vintages.
The 1996 is a Cabernet/Merlot Blend that has been perfectly cellared and stored since Day 1 and has remained in my private cellar stash for a long time now. It’s drinking great right now, with wonderful silky smooth, well-integrated tannins, a full-bodied slightly chewy mouthfeel and a really pleasantly, lengthy finish.

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.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
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 new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.
