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. With their amazing announcement last week of a spot in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list, I made sure I got a few bottles in so that some of you can enjoy this juicy winner.

In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator

“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.”
