If you haven’t yet jumped at one of Greg Morthole and David Ramey’s wines, I’m not sure why not. You’ve probably heard my rant about how Davis Bynum is uniquely positioned to provide better QPR (quality-price ratio) than just about anybody in the game. They’re priced like Tuesday and drink like Saturday. My kind of wines!
The winery’s 2018 Russian River Pinot at the ridiculous price of just $19.35 per bottle when you add it into a case is an absolute steal and the perfect summer sipper for the beach or pool, if not the dinner table.
The Pinot Noir they make is always crafted like a painter going to work on a blank canvas. Petaluma Gap for its richness. The darkness and silky tannin provided by the warmer Santa Rosa plains fruit. And then the cherry on top is the rich, deep spice element – provided by a very special lot from the Middle Reach Neighborhood on West Side Road. A little bit of everything that all comes together.
The result is spicy, generous Pinot that drinks well above its station due to the quality of the single parcels that were so expertly chosen. It’s pretty dang hard to resist.
The big three of Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling all came in at 90-points or higher for this beauty, with the latter two coming in with double 91s. Not surprising because I can’t imagine how anybody could find this wine anything other than delicious, vibrant and easy drinking.

91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
This is a rich, rounded wine sourced from several vineyards, including the estate Jane’s Vineyard. Tea, forest and cardamom contribute a spicy earthiness that finds its match in juicy strawberry, cherry and soft tannins.
91 Points, James Suckling
A soft and fruity red with plum and berry aromas and flavors. Citrus and cedar, too. Easy to drink with real Russian River pinot character of ripe strawberries and warm, earthy undertones. Sustainable. Drink or hold.
90 Points, Wine Spectator
Shows accents of fresh-cracked white pepper to the dried red fruit and berry flavors, which are framed by crunchy acidity and tannins. The juicy finish offers vibrant forest floor notes and hints of hazelnut.
From two New Jersey natives comes something special from Napa Valley. First the Faustini’s bought grapes from the historic Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard for their first test batch. Next they brought in Opus One & Clos du Val alum Kian Tavakoli to head up the winemaking. Throw in an outrageously good 2016 vintage in Napa and what you have is the recipe for a knockout wine that is starting to come into its own and will be great for the next 10-20 years!
This year, the Eastside Cuvee hails from a primo vineyard just off the Silverado Trail– perfectly positioned next to neighbors Caymus and Frog’s Leap and just down the road, Quintessa. Amongst the elite, Carl Roy’s team locked into some incredible fruit, with gorgeous blackberry jammy opulence, firm grippy tannins and that signature Rutherford earthiness to the finish that many try to emulate but can only be produced off the special soil from which this beauty was created.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2019 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
The Tonelli family are royalty in this region, with four generations of grape growers leading the way and even establishing the local D.O.C. Their 2020 Ponente is 100% Sangiovese and is an absolutely incredible wine for the price. Less than $20/bottle for fleshed out, high-toned, zipped up Sangiovese? Count me in. It screams for pizza or summer salads, squash or a charcuterie plate. It’s about to be one of your new favorites.
