If you’ve ever made the drive to the very top of Mount St. Helena then you know. If you haven’t then you should, and if you do, book a visit at the summit with Pride Mountain Vineyards (appointments are required by county law there).
The property straddles the Napa/Sonoma line – there’s a brick line that crossed through the crush pad. The views are amazing. The soil is unique and distinctive, and the wines highly collectable.
2019 was a near perfect vintage there. Early spring provided just enough rain to build up some small reserves which protected the vines from the occasional heat spikes. A mild fall allowed for an extremely generous picking schedule allowing each grape to be picked at optimum maturity.
This is your textbook contemplative Cabernet. Big, bold, and brash mountain fruit displaying a medley of dark fruits highlighted by Bing Cherries, ripe plum but with underlying tones of aged tobacco, sandalwood, and dark chocolate.
It’s a phenomenal Cabernet that is usually pretty highly allocated.

Winemaker Marjorie Gallet’s Effet Papillon Rouge is a terrific blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignane, harvested from the iron rich soil just outside of Rivesaltes at the base of Pyrenees. This one is a vibrant wine, with aromas of wild black raspberries and sweet spices. The mid palate is rich and velvety, with a core of sweet black fruit that finishes fresh, long and silky. At the price, it’s one of the easier no-brainer case buys we offer.

The flagship from Xavier is the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Anonyme, and in 2019 it’s 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and the balance a mix of permitted varieties. Partially destemmed and brought up in a mix of demi-muids and tank, it offers a beautifully pure, vibrant bouquet of black raspberries, white and black pepper, candied orange, and violets. Complex, layered, and nuanced, this beauty is medium to full-bodied, has a seamless texture, and a great finish. It has both elegance and richness, and will keep for 15+ years.

Critics were unanimous about this delicious Stag’s Leap District Cabernet that pays homage to the Vineyard’s uber-rare heritage clone (one of three in in the U.S. with heritage status). It’s a winner that got no less than 93 points in any of the four reviews it received. It’s a big, strong Cabernet that manages to remained focused and fresh. Wine Enthusiast called it out for having, “classic structure and graceful red fruit within moderated, balanced power and grace.”

San Giorgio Ugolforte is the sister winery of Poggio di Sotto. Their 2017 presents a dark core of red and black berry fruit layered with earth, leather, smoke, and herbs. It’s a complex and elegant expression, that presents a full mouthfeel that is firm in tannin structure. The refreshing acidity frames a graceful finish. Just a classic Brunello di Montalcino.
