Doglia’s Barbera has been a quiet staple of Nicholas Wines for years. I don’t often feature it in an email. I don’t have to. So many of you have tasted it at the restaurant or at the old walkaround tastings…and once someone tastes it, they always order it. Again and again and again. For many of you, it’s become your house.
But here’s why I can never sit still. Almost always, eventually, the masses catch up. Last year it was Herve Fabre and his Lifetime Achievement award from the International Wine Cellar. This year, it’s our friend Gianni Doglia winning the Italian Wine Bible’s (Gambero Rosso) highest honor: Winemaker of the Year.
The accolade has never been more deserved. Few farmers in Italy work harder than Gianni does. Back during my Spring visit in 2015, upon my arrival at 9pm at night, I found him pruning his steep Asti Vineyard by flashlight. He naturally farms the tiny estate in the picturesque hamlet of Castagnole Lanze. His Barbera is the product of 50 year old vines, vinified without oak to preserve its incredible fruit.
The soil is special, sandy and laden with limestone, perfect for big, fruity varieties like Barbera. The wine is black in color to the core, bright and wonderfully aromatic, it’s an organic, juicy red wine that is flat-out epic.

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.
#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.
90 Points, James Suckling
Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”
