There’s a handful of producers that are must-trys in the region if you haven’t already jumped on the bandwagon. Pennfolds of course is the biggest name with Vasse Felix, Leeuwin and today’s feature: Ringbolt all making exceptional wines year in and year out. Those all make great wines both red and white with the exception of Ringbolt — standout winemaker, Heather Fraser only makes Cabernet off a few choice vineyards.
With minerally rich gravelly loam soils and windy conditions, the wines retain acidity beautifully down here. Throw in a high winter rainfall and pristine, robust sea breezes to cool the precious fruit and you have wonderful conditions for growing superior Cabernet Sauvignon. Complex and layered, combining earth and fruit, these wines consistently overdeliver while the wine world continues to miss out on these brilliant classics.
Par for the course with Ringbolt, their Margaret River Cabernet has been rated 92 points by Wine Spectator, making it the eighth year in the row it’s been met by a 90+ point review. They highlighted the wines, “richness and complexity” as well as the “appealingly plush, velvety tannins” that make this wine such a no-brainer for Cabernet fans.

Offers a concentrated mix of ripe berry and plum flavors, with black licorice, thick espresso, star anise and dark chocolate flavors that add richness and complexity. Notes of eucalyptus and fresh loam linger on the finish, with appealingly plush, velvety tannins and succulent richness.

This Margaret River Cab walks on the riper, richer end of the spectrum. It opens with dark cherries, currants, earthy, savory herbs and spice, and a briny note at the back, all nestled in quite a bit of oak. Chunky, chalky tannins dominate on the palate, although there’s a good lick of acidity, too. It lacks the balance of elegance and power that many MR Cabs achieve, but it nevertheless is a satisfying and affordable option for big red fans, and a hearty companion to a slab of protein.

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.

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.

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
