Dr. Paul Skinner knows as much about vineyard soil as just about anyone in the world. The “wine doctor” got his p.h.D from UC Davis in 1988 for Soil Science and Viticulture while simultaneously working for wine icons Louis M. Martini and Chuck Wagner of Caymus and helping them navigate through the difficult phylloxera epidemic of the late 1980’s.
His reputation for plant and soil health spread like wildfire with the best wineries up and down California lining up to leverage his expertise. He has worked with Beaulieu, Robert Mondavi, Sutter Home, Domaine Chandon, Hanzell, Hess Collection, Sebastiana, Chateau St. Jean, Whitehall Lane, Chimney Rock, Iron Horse, Pride Mountain, Paloma, Terra Valentine and David Abreu’s portfolio of clients… to name a few.
With meticulously tended vineyards by the “Wine Doctor” Paul Skinner, a vintage like 2014 will pretty much take care of itself. Skinner is loath to take credit for the perfection that hit this bottle, instead saying that when conditions are particularly favorable, healthy plants produce exceptional fruit.This striking cab blend is enormous and at 43% OFF on bottle one, 49% OFF on case purchases, it’s a steal. If you want a wine that’s big enough to answer your every day barbecue needs, this one is up for the task.

When I tasted this wine last week, I immediately thought one thing, this full-bodied Red would be perfect with some Spring grilling.

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.

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.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.

“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous
