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…..

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.
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.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.

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.
