Some wines just make no financial sense. I guess it helps if you don’t need the money.
Billionaire Alejandro Bulgheroni spared no expense in crafting a world class Napa Winery. The valley’s most exclusive vineyards? Check. Beckstoffer (To Kalon, Las Piedras Vineyard, Dr. Crane).
The world’s foremost winemaker? Nope. How about three? So he tapped New Zealand born Matt Sands (Screaming Eagle, Bryant Family) and the two most famous wine consultants in the world, Phillipe Melka (Petrus, Haut-Brion, Ridge, Silver Oak) and Michel Rolland (too many wineries to name).
With To Kalon and Dr. Crane fruit at their disposal and the world’s best winemaking team, these wines typically never see the light of day beyond their tiny allocation list. But in 2020, anything is possible, and for us that means that Pursuit Cabernet Sauvignon is up for grabs at a ridiculous price.

Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
Winemaker Patrick Brunet’s tiny Domaine Robert estate consists of 50-60 year old vines, deeply rooted in the granitic soils of Fleurie. What I love about him is that every vintage brings something new but it consistently stays excellent. For his 2022 cuvee, Patrick produced a concentrated, structured Beaujolais that’s roaring out of the gates but with the bones to improve in the bottle over the next decade. This is always a fantastic bottle to have around.
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
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.
