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.
At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
