Since putting their reputation on the line, Escoriheula’s new direction has been widely lauded. The quality of wines have continued a steep ascent since the shift, with critics, consumers and even the traditionalists taking notice.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate recently reviewed the portfolio and was blown away by the results in the bottle – even if non-traditional in their approach – eschewing excessive oak and allowing the truest expression of the terroir to speak for itself. Longtime Argentinian correspondent, Luis Guiterrez said the wines at Escorihuela Gascón are “better than ever” – high praise considering their storied reputation.
Their first organic, vegan and biodynamic wine, their 1884 Organic Single-Vineyard Malbec Escorihuela is downright delicious so it’s no surprise that it’s sent shockwaves throughout the Malbec community. Parker’s Wine Advocate gave the wine a 93-point score, a huge score considering today’s price tag. But Tim Atkin of Decanter and Antonio Galloni’s Vinous echoed Parker’s admiration with their own 92-point scores. Vinous called the wine, “a modern style for Argentina, but in all a very seductive Malbec.”
Released at $35/bottle, a completely reasonable price given its single-vineyard status, superstar winemaker and the quality of what’s in the bottle. But today’s price reads more like a typo. I assure you, it isn’t.

This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.

The oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.
Not Eligible for Futher Discount-From famed winemaker, Robert Foley comes an absolute delight of a bottle of wine. A seamless Bordeaux blend of 80% Cabernet, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot that is incredibly smoothly now but should have another decade easy of prime drinking. It is the definition of a Saturday Night bottle of wine. One to cherish for a special occasion.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
