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.

Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
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.
95 Points, James Suckling – 94 Points, Wine Spectator – 93 Points, Wine Enthusiast
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.
