For Ed, a third generation California winemaker himself, couldn’t pass up his dream of starting a project with his son. And away from the Napa Valley machine, he could go back to doing what he loved to do above all, making small lot wine off the tiniest of parcels.
It doesn’t get any smaller than today’s Cabernet, cut exclusively from the steep 10-acre terraced vineyard of the Sbragia family doctor, Dr. Andolsen (I kid you not). Located deep in Dry Creek’s western foothills, the Cab shows off Ed’s favorite blocks and it’s absolutely ridiculous good for the price. This has long been an area where Cabernet has been overlooked for Pinot Noir and Zinfandel, but with Ed and his son at the helm, Sonoma County’s stock is on the rise.
Aged 18 months in new and used French oak barrels, the wine shows off a decadent mix of blue and purple fruits on the nose with a floral component and then layers of black fruit and a hint of sage on the pallet that hits you in waves and finishes long and strong.

In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.

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.
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.
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
