Le Famille Perrin makes two Châteauneuf du Pape blends each year. My guess is that you’ve heard of one of them but not the other. The first is Chateau de Beaucastel. A blend of all the oldest vines on the property, it’s arguably one of France’s most recognizable names – a Cuvee that has turned the Perrin family into a household name. But their other CDP is the ‘Les Sinards’ , a total knockout nearly every vintage in its own regard with the only sin to its name being they didn’t put ‘Beaucastel’ on the label.
This is made almost entirely from younger Beaucastel vines with a smattering of fruit from a neighboring vineyard that the Perrin Family also farms. That little bit of fruit is the only thing keeping it from matching its older brothers’ moniker, but the quality is still exceptional. It’s a Grenache dominant blend that in 2021, much like its big brother, got a noticeable bump in Mourvedre to help make this a classically styled CDP.

Scented nose with dark cherries, blueberries, dried thyme, plums, bark, roasted meat and baking spices following through to a medium to full body with finely grained tannins. Elegant and textural with a velvety core of juicy and crunchy berries on the mid-palate mingling with herbs and spices in harmony. Well-composed with a precise long finish.

A seductive, overt style, with ripe cherry and sappy red licorice at the forefront, backed by smoked apple wood and iron shavings. Supple on the palate, with cashmere tannins providing nice structure through the smoky, silky finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2032.

The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.
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.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
