The Catena family has been making wine in Mendoza since 1902, when Argentinian wine pioneer Nicolas Catena first saw the potential in the Andes mountains vineyards for producing super high quality Malbec.
Eventually, winemaking duties were transferred away from the Catenas to the self-described restless winemaker Alejandro Vigil, a transition that has made all the difference for the iconic winery. Since Alejandro’s tenure started in 2007, he has seen over 50(!) wines rated 95 points or higher from all the big publications including The Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, James Suckling and the Wine Enthusiast and twice been awarded Winery of the Year from both Wine Enthusiast and Wine & Spirits
But his secret sauce isn’t what you may think… it’s actually data.
With the help of Nicolas Catena’s daughter, Laura, the two have studied their vineyard’s numbers and yields for the past 30 years plot by plot, revealing what each parcel brings to the table, how soil comes into and what each elevation does to the wine. Their new more scientific approach has been paying dividends.

A fragrant nose full of vivid strawberries and sweet cherries. Tight and lightly chewy on the palate with plenty of fruit. Juicy, balanced and quite drinkable.

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.
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!
At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.

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.
