Tasting the wines of Camile Wallut, of Domaine Saint Amant, gives a feeling that you are tasting something very pure, wholesome, from scratch, if you will. Completely organic, hand-harvested, simply pressed, racked and aged in neutral wood, her wines are perfect representations of high elevation Rhône red wine. For wines from the south of France, Domaine Saint Amant ranks pretty high on my list for both red and white because on a trip a few years ago, I finally realized what makes the difference in the ocean of wine that is the Côtes du Rhône. You’ve got to climb. That’s right, the great wine in the Rhône is always at elevation, the higher the better.
The incredible estate of Saint Amant, is the highest in the southern Rhône. Here, the windswept vines of Grenache, Syrah and Viognier are 1800 feet, rooted in mineral shale and limestone soil. The combination of organic farming, a super-long growing season, the mineral soil and that dizzying elevation, allows for wine that is hedonistically fruity but light on its feet, the real test of world-class full-bodied red wine. The wine is purple, edging to black to the brim, with an amazing nose of violets, black cherries and spice. The fruit is juicy, complex but finishes dry, fresh and long. Think Chateauneuf in the glass but with a Tuesday night price tag….fantastic.

#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.
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.
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.
Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
