Richard Jaume makes an absolute knock out old-vine Grenache-Syrah blend from vineyards planted at some of the highest points in the Rhône. The man simply has a knack for making super food-friendly, juicy wines perfect for outdoor dining. The Jaumes have farmed their estate in Vinsobres for well over 100 years now. Their old vines thrive on the mineral soil of Vinsobres, one of my favorite villages for Tuesday night wine in the southern Rhone. For Richard, their wine is all about the fruit, leading to pristine, fresh wines, tailor-made for anyone’s house red and a slam dunk for any kind of meat on the bone.
Their Altitude 420 blend consists of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, grown on a breezy terrace in “Les Collines.” As one of the four Crus of Vinsobres, the vineyard towers over the medieval village. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks, perfectly preserving a wide range of bright red fruit aromas, orange rind and floral flavors that flow from the bottle. In the glass, the wine has a deep royal purple color, almost black at the center. Plenty of secondary garrigue aromatics emerge in the nose, including wild blackberries, ripe cherries, a citrus zest, and dried lavender, making it an ideal match for pizzas with veggie toppings, food from the grill, and most red meats.
It’s a Saturday night quality wine at a Tuesday night price. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to get my hands on this beauty. Don’t miss out.

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.
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
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.
