Betsy O’Shaughnessy and her husband started with the most ideal spot in one of the most exclusive (and expensive) AVAs in all of Napa. Their vineyards sit perched high atop Howell Mountain at an elevation of 1,800 feet. Next – they hired superstar winemaker, Sean Capiaux (Jordan, Pine Ridge, and Peter Michael), to oversee the selection of the ideal clones for each and every parcel. Now with mature vineyards (over 20 years old), these wines are just beginning to achieve their true potential.
That doesn’t mean they haven’t received a bevy of over-the-top accolades. In the now 20 years O’Shaughnessy has sent their Howell Mt. Cabernet to Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, only once has their wine failed to receive at least a 93-pt score (the uber-challenging 2011 vintage).
In the near perfect 2016 vintage in Napa, Capiaux turned out an absolute beauty, easily worthy of the 96+ review from the Wine Advocate if not a few more points. Jeb Dunnuck, the Wine Advocate’s former editor and wine critic agreed. In his 97-point review of the wine, he called it, “Brilliant”, “Classy” and “Seamless” with “Fabulous concentration” and at a “Fabulous value”.

Excellent paired with a nice hunk of meat whether it be a steak, poultry or a briny pork-chop.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.

“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
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
