I’m always on the hunt for under twenty dollar stunners, and with the addition of Catena and Aruma wines from Nicolas Catena to our repertoire, we’ve been treated to a bevy of riches coming out of Argentina of late.
I’ve tasted through thousands of bottles. A literal sea of mediocrity but out of the winners, the Catena name has been on more than a few.
But with the family’s Historico bottlings– you’re not just getting the Catena name, winemaking prowess, or the elite, high-altitude vineyard locations in Mendoza, but you’re also getting an assortment of some ridiculously gnarly old-vines.
This full-throttled blockbuster blend comes from vines dating all the way back to 1902 from an assortment of plots across four different vineyards, all at altitudes between 750 and 1450 meters above sea level.
The result is a natural acidity that will cut through the char of the grill, perfectly balancing those super concentrated black fruits. Great notes of blueberries and violets, a harmonious symphony of juicy notes that set up for a great lingering finish.

Wonderful aromas of dried strawberries, flowers and lemons. Full-bodied with a lovely, fluid center palate that is sweetly fruity and a long, long finish. Love this wine. 72 per cent malbec, 21 per cent bonarda and seven per cent petit verdot. Drink now.

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.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
The 50 hectare estate of Maurice Robert is the jewel of this beautiful growing region, located east of Bordeaux. Robert is first and foremost a viticulturist, tending his vines like gardens. The Bordeaux Rouge 2016, a barrel-fermented, vibrant blend Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with juicy cassis fruit and just the right touch of savory spice. It is a perfect choice for roasted poultry, grilled burgers or steaks or any Alpine cheese.

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.
