Steve Smith and Billionaire Terry Peabody make for an absolutely dynamic duo. Peabody, the Australian billionaire drove around the former (the country’s top viticulturist) all over New Zealand before they finally found the perfect combination of soil and climate in the eastern shadow of the mountains on North Island, just outside of Martinborough.
With cool temperatures, ideal rainfall and a perfectly uneventful harvest in 2018, Steve Smith carved out a World Class Pinot Noir beauty that absolutely represents some of the best Pinot Noir coming out of New Zealand and the Southern Hemisphere. You’re going to love it. Beautiful fresh and crunchy red fruits mixed with liquorice, some earth and a silky finish. This is one of those Pinots that make you say wow.

The fresh and poached red cherries and blueberries are enticing with a very smooth, fresh and supple core of silky, fine tannin and a vibrant, lively finish that holds plenty of cherry flavor. Drink now.

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.

“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.”
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
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.
