Few wineries carry the same weight in the Rhone as the name Delas. The Delas family began making wine in the Rhone Valley in the early 1800’s, and developed quite a reputation over the years. But everything changed when Jacque Grange came aboard and the winery went from one of the better wineries in the Rhone to one of the best wineries in France and beyond.
Jacques Grange is a Burgundian winemaker who spent years under the tutelage of the famous Michel Chapoutier before he joined the Delas team. His impact was immediate, with Robert Parker Jr. himself writing, “Delas has joined the ranks of the finest Rhoney Valley producers. The impetus for the change is Jacques Grange.”
Grange doesn’t do it alone though, together he and Claire Darnaud, a star in her own right, manage a winemaking team at a winemaking facility that is second to none. If you’ve ever been to Delas, it’s stupid nice. Truthfully, it looks more like a winemaking museum than a working facility– but for a winery producing some of the best Cote-Rotie, Hermitage, Chateaneuf-du-Pape and St. Joseph, with dozens of skus across both whites and reds, I guess they need the space.
The beauty of Delas is in the value of the wines. Ranging anywhere from $10 all the way up to $300/btl, the team at Delas puts the same care into the Ventoux as they do their signature Côte-Rôtie ‘La Landonne’ 2018. It doesn’t matter, everything is made to be fresh, structured and unique to the terroir.

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.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
94 Points, Tasting Panel
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.
