Napa Valley experienced two stunning back-to-back vintages in 2018 and 2019 the likes of which I have never seen…Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
The good news about Napa Valley 2019 Cabernets is that they are stunning wines. Products of near perfect growing conditions, Galloni goes on to say, the 2019s I have tasted so far are fabulous. The wines feel like they have a little more energy, power and depth than the 2018s. Winemakers like Ry Richards were able to take advantage of the high quality/high yields of 2019, locking into two parcels to make what I believe will be a legendary vintage of his Fiancetto Gravelly Loam Cabernet.
The just arrived 2019 is flashy, polished Cabernet with a core of dark cassis fruit with just the right touch of new oak. Long on the palate and slow to unwind in the glass, the Fiancetto 2019 is absolutely packed. Give it time in a big glass to fully reveal all its got. The only shadow on the horizon of Napa Cabernet as we start rolling out the 2019s is that there is very little wine in 2020. In the 2019 vintage report from Robert’s Parker’s Wine Advocate, they rave about the wines, calling them classic, ripe, plush and beautifully expressive style…but end with a warning, Take advantage of 2019, while it lasts…..

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!

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.

Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
