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.

It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
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.
90-92 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 91 Pts (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Pts, Decanter
The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.

“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”
