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.”

Paired with a charred piece of medium-rare steak, you can’t find a better match!
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.
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 2021 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.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
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.
