40 years ago, Hector and Pablo Durigutti were just boys, running through vineyards in Mendoza, dreaming of one day becoming a famous winemaking duo.
20 years ago, Hector and Pablo made and bottled their first wine under the ‘Durigutti Family’ label, a Malbec which signaled the beginning of their winemaking careers.
And just this year, the brothers celebrated their 20th anniversary, a journey which has seen them become major players in Mendoza, earn a timely Top 100 Wine Spectator appearance, build their own winery, acquire vineyards and build their childhood dream together into a reality. Success didn’t come overnight but what a journey it has been.
Despite having no family background in wine, Hector decided to study oenology in Mendoza before spending two years learning the tricks to the trade in Italy. Pablo went to work at the best winery in Argentina, Catena, and worked there during the first years at Durigutti before they had a winery or equipment of their own.
But as the critics started to pile on in their love for the wines, things happened very quickly for Hector and Pablo, and blossomed into the force to be reckoned with that it has become. Once again, the Durigutti brothers find themselves in an expansion project – a testament to the continued demand that the wines receive from Argentinians and world wine lovers alike.

93 Points, James Suckling
Aromas of violets, hibiscus, crushed raspberries and rosemary. It’s medium-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins and bright acidity. Juicy and fresh with lots of bright berry and some zesty notes. Still tight. Drink from 2023.
This is a very, very special library offer from our friends at Val di Suga and is also a very limited one. There are only a few of these amazing six-pack collector’s boxes for sale. Two bottles each from Val di Suga’s three single vineyard sites. Val di Suga is the only Brunello producer that controls three separate estate vineyards located in three specific climate zones in the appellation. Each vineyard site has its own unique exposure and geo-climatic features which expresses itself in every bottle. Not to be missed. *Original wooden boxes come included.*
97 Points (Best in Show), 2022 Decanter Wine Awards
Once again, last month Decanter held the biggest international wine awards show. There are bronze medals, silver, gold and then platinum. Lastly, the true creme de la creme are awarded Best in Show, and that is where you’ll find the stellar 2019 Trefethen Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet from the beloved Oak Knoll district. The wine is an absolute show stopper– dark and brooding with aromas of violets, black fruits and figs with notes of black cherry, raspberry, plum and chocolate mousse on the palate. At today’s price, it’s one of the best deals in all of Napa.

With Herve and Fabre Montmayou wracking up NYT features, huge scores, gold medals and lifetime achievement awards, I’m left with one choice: get in now or be left in the cold. Waiting for the scores to roll in is a luxury that we know longer have with Fabre Montmayou. Good for the winery, but not so good for us. Rest assured though, the 2020 Cabernet Franc Herve sent me is fantastic, and will surely be minted with the same kind of high-flying praise as the vintage before it. But by that time, you’ll only have a bottle or two left in the cellar.
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.
