The newest Voyage from the Wagner family has arrived (after we were skipped over last year) and I can report that it’s another fantastic rendition of a wine that is making quite a name for itself. This one was worth the wait. It’s classic Caymus style– big, juicy and fruit forward and perfect dinner company for grilled meat.
With some of the best Malbec grapes from the highest appellations of the Andes Mountains, the Wagner family brings the fruit back to their state of the art facility in Napa and then finish it in the same style as their flagship Special Selection Cabernet (that runs for $195/btl). That’s probably why this wine is of the “no-brainer” variety.
I don’t quite know what makes these wines so popular, but getting the Voyage from the Wagners hasn’t been an easy task. In fact, the 15 cases I just got are the only ones that were available. Oh boy is this one good though – with that signature Caymus touch.

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.

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.

“From the team of Nicolas Glumineau at Pichon Comtesse de Lalande, the 2018 Château De Pez is a gorgeous 2018 that should be on every Bordeaux lover’s radar (and should be a great value as well). Notes of blackcurrants, blueberries, candied violets, and graphite define the bouquet, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, rockingly polished tannins, terrific purity, and a great finish. It’s terrific and is going to have 15-20 years or more of longevity.” -Jeb Dunnuck
95 Points, Vinous
“The 2021 Syrah-Grenache is another fabulous wine from Tyler and Rachel Eck. Bright, savory, and vibrant, the 2021 bristles with energy from the get go. Lively acids run through a core of blue/purplish fruit, lavender, cloves and menthol. The 2021 is deep and full of flavor yet also light on its feet. Today, it is positively stellar.” -Antonio Galloni
