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.

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!

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.
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.
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.
