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.

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.

At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
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.
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
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.
