Fontavin is an organically farmed estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape with crazy old vines averaging 75 years old. Those ancient vines are rooted in eastern side of the appellation, in a mix of sand and the classic round stones of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The sandy parcels give heady aromatics and fresh fruit while the vines in the roulé give structure, power and length.
Proprietor and winemaker, Hélène Chouvet-Coton uses no wood in the winemaking, leaving as pure an example of Châteauneuf-du-Pape as you’ll ever find. The wine is purple to its core, with a terrific nose of spicy red berries touched with a hint of anise, thyme and cocoa. In the mouth, the wine is hedonistically fruity but with a mineral core that finishes fresh and a mile long.

“The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Terre d’Ancetres is a beauty. A concrete-aged blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, it’s full-bodied, creamy and plush in texture, with loads of cherry fruit and hints of cinnamon, clove and bay leaf on the finish. It should drink well for over a decade.”

Feudo Montoni has been one of the best producers in Italy for literally hundreds of years, most notably for their work with Nero D’Avola grape in Sicily. It’s a gorgeous expression at such a good price. The 2020 “Lagnusa” is the perfect pizza or Thanksgiving wine with juicy black fruits, grippy tannins and a wonderful, fresh and herbaceous finish. Vinous Media gave the wine 92 points and raved, calling it “remarkably fresh yet long, leaving the mouth watering while still resonating on hints of blackberry.” You’re going to love this.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.

Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.

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.
