Ry Richards’ Fiancetto is a decidedly no-frills operation. It is a bare-bones Napa Valley Cabernet project but with a distinctly complex style that belies its start-up winery structure.
You see, Ry’s day job is at one of Napa’s iconic estates, Chappellet, where he assists Phil Titus in all aspects of sourcing and winemaking. It leaves him in the perfect position to carve out great lots of wine for his own labels. If these lots of wine bore the nationally branded label they were intended for, they would sell for twice the Nicholas Wines price. But, Fiancetto is still a start-up and Ry needs to sell almost as fast as he makes it so for those in the know, Fiancetto is always an incredible deal. In the case of the 2017, it’s just about half off!
The latest rendition of the Gravelly Loam cuvée was sourced from warm vineyard sites on the Valley floor; their old vines rooted in the well-drained, gravelly soil that is just perfect for producing ripe Cabernet. The 2017 is jet black to the rim with primary aromas of cigar box, black fruit and mocha. The wine is just packed, with jammy flavors of red current, plum, and black berries. The finish is long and fruity with ripe, supple tannins. This is a big and powerful Cab, perfect for a juicy steak or just by itself.
Drink now for the incredible primary fruit or cellar for the next 3-5 years. But don’t delay, as past customers will attest, there is never enough of any of the 50% off Fiancetto Cabernet bargains!

“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.”
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.
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.
Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
