The amount of mediocre Cabs I taste in this price range is mind-boggling. With the rising costs of everything these days, most wineries don’t even produce a Cabernet in this price range anymore. Then if they do, they either make them too thin, clumsy and/or disjointed or just don’t deliver in the ‘wow’ factor department.
But the Armé Cabernet is the exception and pretty much in a league of its own– a fantastic selection from Marietta in the winery’s family series and a wine that consistently delivers an insane value. $30 Cabs usually just can’t boast this kind of aromatic flair combined with a wonderfully vibrant and rich mid-palate that finishes with such depth and structure.
For the time being, Marietta’s wines continue to be some of the best values across the board in California. Antonio Galloni really let the cat out of the bag last year when he announced that he was “completely blown away by the Marietta wines” even declaring, Marietta’s “Scot Bilbro has the magic touch when it comes to crafting wines that deliver superb quality for the money across the various tiers in this range”.
Of course, the big man himself, Robert Parker, Jr. had already beaten young Antonito to the punch, proclaiming, “One of California’s finest value wineries, Marietta Cellars has been receiving favorable reviews in this publication for many years… The production has soared since then but the consistency in quality has remained remarkably high. These are terrific offerings from this value-priced winery.”

The 2019 Armé Cabernet Sauvignon has a medium ruby-purple color and layered aromas of red and black currants, violet, iron, underbrush and mushrooms. The medium-bodied palate is pleasantly rustic and a touch chewy, with bright acidity, pretty floral perfume and an earth-laced finish.

Rounded aromas of red cherries, nutmeg and sage. Full-bodied with fine, structured tannins. A solid core of black and red fruits with lovely notes of black tea and toasted herbs. Walnut and green tobacco too. Very good length and balance. 82% cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot, 3% malbec and 3% petit verdot.

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.

“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.”

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.
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.
