This is not one of those Cabernets that hits you over the head with a ton of fruit or American oak. It does have oak, but it’s 100% French, which imparts different flavors than the American Oak. Instead this one represents a spicier side of Cabernet and it works perfectly. It’s a medium-bodied Cabernet with a ton of personality.
If the wine seems too good for the price, there’s a good reason for that. The wines at Grayson Cellars are made by Larry Levin, one of the more accomplished Napa Valley winemakers around. He earned his chops at Dry Creek Vineyard before running the wine programs at Franciscan, Mt. Veeder, Mondavi, Ravenswood and even Quintessa.
Larry makes wines in his native St. Helena that are driven by varietal character, balance and depth while providing its customers with exceptional value. But he may have outdone himself with the 2022 Lot 10 Cabernet from Grayson. It’s dark fruited, with black pepper nuanced throughout, with a lot of precision and some grippy tannins that start to open up with some time in the glass.

Produced from small lots from around California, this wine offers notes of dried rose petals, potpourri and plums. These flavors give way to watermelon and round out to hot-tamale candy and a dry finish. The wine would pair nicely with braised meats.
Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.

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.
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 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
